Chapter 77: The Happiness of the Four Great Talents
"You see, these letters are called Hanyu Pinyin. With this Hanyu Pinyin, it is possible to mark all the characters. In other words, as long as you learn Hanyu Pinyin, you can basically understand some commonly used Chinese characters. ”
Of course, a child's memory cannot be compared with that of a normal person.
Children have a gradual process of memorization and comprehension, so it is impossible to expect a seven-year-old child to become familiar with thousands of commonly used Chinese characters in two or three years.
The official dialect of the Tang Dynasty is still very different from modern Mandarin, and relatively speaking, the pronunciation of modern Mandarin is clearer and brighter.
During the Sui Dynasty, the imperial court also issued an annotated book called "Cut Rhyme", but it was too complicated to have a total of 193 rhymes.
Relatively speaking, modern Chinese pinyin is much simpler.
So Du Chengfeng intends to promote this more convenient modern Mandarin from now on.
Let Mandarin gradually become the official language of the Tang Dynasty.
Of course, this kind of thing is best to have Li Shimin's cooperation at present, and only when Li Shimin, the emperor of the current dynasty, agrees with it, can it be quickly spread throughout the country.
Du Chengfeng wanted to popularize it in the school he built completely as an introduction.
Only by unifying the language will it be more convenient for the people to communicate.
On this basis, it will be more convenient to compile thousands of commonly used Chinese characters into a Chinese character dictionary.
As for the basic mathematics, after Du Chengfeng's explanation, several people also quickly comprehended it.
After all, people who can be called the four great talents in Chang'an have good learning and comprehension skills.
When Du Chengfeng spoke dryly, the four of them basically understood the meaning of these words that Du Chengfeng said.
It is no exaggeration to say that everything that Du Chengfeng taught them is a merit that can be passed down for centuries.
The information that Du Chengfeng took out completely opened a new world for the four of them, a more wonderful world.
After the four of them comprehended, in addition to being surprised or surprised, it seemed that their decision to follow Du Chengfeng's idea was extremely correct.
The so-called saying that there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the sky, and the four of them have experienced it today.
"Brother Chengfeng, after listening to your explanation, the four of us can be said to be used for life, please accept the worship of the four of us."
Luo Mingchuan said respectfully, and after speaking, the four of them looked at each other, bent down deeply at Du Chengfeng, and bowed their hands to the end.
Du Chengfeng had just finished drinking a cup of tea and was shocked when he saw this. He knew that the four of them sincerely respected him, and this kind of courtesy of bending over and bowing for a long time was the highest etiquette of a scholar to his elders.
It can also be seen from this that the four people are not comparable to those Confucian scholars who are sour and do not want to change.
Du Chengfeng is very glad that he has met four real talents who can be created. I love eBooks
"The four big brothers, please hurry up, how can I do such a big gift, how can I afford it." Du Chengfeng put down the teacup and said with a wry smile.
It's just that the four of them didn't follow what Du Chengfeng said, and insisted on giving a big gift, Luo Mingchuan got up and said: "Brother Chengfeng's move to benefit all the people is the blessing of the people of the world, and it deserves it, and it deserves it." The four of us are scholars, but we are far less ashamed than the Chengfeng brothers who have such great sentiments. ”
Du Chengfeng smiled heartily and said comfortingly: "Brother Luo doesn't have to be so modest. It can be seen that the four eldest brothers are all people who care about the people of the world, and the four eldest brothers can put down their identities to do this teaching and educating people for the wind, how can it not be the blessing of the people in the world? ”
In fact, in modern society, it is very common for entrepreneurs to turn around and donate some money to charity to repay the society when they have money, although some utilitarian purposes are not excluded, but most of them are good in nature.
Du Chengfeng just wanted to make the people of the Tang Dynasty realize the importance of knowledge through his meager efforts, not just to be an official as advocated by Confucianism.
This simple idea was recognized by the four of them as a great sentiment, and this is no one.
Du Chengfeng then said: "Big brothers, there is still a lot of preparation work to be done to create a free school. These days, if the eldest brothers are free, they can come to my house to familiarize themselves with the new teaching materials first. I will try my best to find time to put together the new textbooks as soon as possible. ”
It's said that it's a sorting, but in fact, it's just a matter of exchanging some prestige points and finding someone to print some first.
The popularization and popularization of pinyin and simplified Chinese characters still need Li Shimin's recognition and assistance, and the popularization of a new cultural system is inevitably a gradual process, not an overnight effort.
Du Chengfeng has been mentally prepared for several years or even longer, and it is even conceivable that the appearance of this kind of writing may also arouse strong opposition from a group of Confucian elders in the DPRK and China.
However, it is best not to let these old stubborns bump into Du Chengfeng's muzzle, otherwise Du Chengfeng will not mind letting them suffer some painful lessons.
Popularizing modern education is a vital part of Du Chengfeng's plan and the cornerstone of Datang's development in the future.
"It should be, it should be." The four of them said politely in unison. Du Chengfeng's Gao Feng Liangjie has deeply impressed the four of them.
"Well, I would like to thank the four eldest brothers for their support. The four eldest brothers can rest assured, after the school opens, Chengfeng will definitely not treat the eldest brothers badly. Du Chengfeng said calmly.
"Brother Chengfeng is polite." Luo Mingchuan arched his hand.
Then Du Chengfeng discussed some details of the school with the four of them, as well as the projects that the four of them were responsible for. Du Chengfeng also thought about the name of the school, and called it 'Chengfeng Love School', and Du Chengfeng appointed himself as the principal.
Naming the name of the school in his own name is also Du Chengfeng's last resort, and in order to have more prestige, Du Chengfeng can only be crowned with no skin and no face.
With the sincere participation of the four people, Du Chengfeng's creation of the school has finally come to an end, and Du Chengfeng is very pleased.
It didn't take long for the cook to make a meal. As soon as the four of them saw the modern dishes presented by the maids, their expressions were exactly the same as those of the shopkeeper Lu at that time.
The color and fragrance made the four of them forget to think, and there is no image left, and they gobble it up. secretly shouted in his heart: From now on, Du Chengfeng will be their nobleman. Today's trip was so worth it.
Compared with the food on Du Chengfeng's house, the so-called wine and food in Wangjianglou are simply pig food, and there is absolutely no exaggeration.
Not only that, but also to be a brother and sister to such a young founding county, and to enjoy food, where to find such a good thing.
Unconsciously, the afternoon passed, and it was nearly dusk, and the four of them went back contentedly after eating and drinking under Du Chengfeng's hospitality.
The four of them patted their chests and promised that they would come to Du Chengfeng's house every afternoon to familiarize themselves with the new teaching materials. Of course, more importantly, thinking about the food you have just eaten gives you motivation.
