(Maopu Chinese) While talking and laughing, I noticed that the Chinese spoken by Jinnige did not have the stiffness of foreigners at all. Zhu Youzhen sincerely admired: "Mr. Jin, you are really talented in language!"

You speak Chinese so well.

If you don't see Mr. himself, just listening to Mr.'s voice, Lone really can't tell the difference between Mr. and my Ming person. ”

"Language talent?"

Hearing Zhu Youzhen's praise, Jinnige laughed happily.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for the compliment, I'm really ashamed.

Seriously, my talent for languages is not as good as His Highness thinks. ”

Seeing that Zhu Youzhen looked like you were too modest, Jinnige couldn't help but shake his head.

People seem to be like this, and people would rather believe that he is talented than that he has worked hard to get to where he is today.

No longer arguing, Jinnige smiled and took out a booklet and handed it to Zhu Youzhen.

Flipping through the booklet, Zhu Youzhen saw a string of familiar letters marked on a line of Chinese characters.

What a familiar feeling!

Looking through the booklet that Jinnige took out, Zhu Youzhen felt unusually familiar.

Zhu Youzhen's sense of familiarity comes from the way the pamphlet is written.

The way this booklet is written is actually what Zhu Youzhen was used to in his previous life, writing in a horizontal row from left to right.

With a bit of kindness, Zhu Youzhen involuntarily began to sort out the meaning of what he saw.

Heaven and earth are yellow, and the universe is desolate ......,

Isn't this a thousand-word text.

When Zhu Youzhen's gaze turned to the letters, his gaze froze.

What is it?

Oh my God, what do I see?

In front of Zhu Youzhen's eyes, a string of familiar letters corresponding to Chinese characters appeared in front of his eyes.

Tian、di、xuan、huang……

This, this is, this is Hanyu Pinyin?

This is really Hanyu Pinyin!

Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but call out.

What Jinnige handed over to Zhu Youzhen was a thousand-character text in the Chinese pinyin version.

This thousand-character text not only has pinyin, but also clearly marked with various tones.

Oh, my God! Is Jinnige learning Chinese compared to this?

No wonder his Chinese pronunciation is so accurate.

The hand holding the booklet suddenly tightened, and Zhu Youzhen thought of a terrible conjecture.

Could it be that there is another time-traveler in this world?

Otherwise, how could there be this pinyin version of the thousand-character text.

"Mr. Kim, what is this?"

Barely maintaining the smile on his face, Zhu Youzhen opened his mouth to ask Jinnige.

Seeing the unhappiness in Zhu Youzhen's heart, Jinnige hurriedly explained: "Your Highness, this way of writing is the writing habit of my hometown, and I don't mean to offend the tradition of the Ming Dynasty. Please bear with me, Your Highness! ”

Waving his hand, showing that he was not angry, Zhu Youzhen asked in a slightly nervous voice: "Lone refers to the letters on this." Where did you find this Hanyu Pinyin? ”

"Hanyu Pinyin? Is it these Latin letters that Your Highness is talking about? Kinnige had a proud expression on his face.

"I made up the phonetic alphabets by myself."

Looking at Jinnige's proud face, Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but ask, "Where are you from?" Americans? ”

Hearing Zhu Youzhen ask about his hometown, Jinnige's face obviously showed a look of reminiscence.

"Your Highness, my hometown is in the city of Douai, Flanders.

If you call me Ming, I would be Belgian.

Because Flanders is part of the Kingdom of Belgium. ”

Belgian?

You are a Belgian who crossed over, did not develop in Europe, what did you do in Daming?

Looking at this old Belgian man with a homesick face on his face, Zhu Youzhen's heart was full of vigilance. The smile on his face couldn't be sustained anymore.

Jinnige, who came back to his senses, saw that Zhu Youzhen's face had changed, and his heart was full of helplessness.

He knew that this would be the case once the booklet was taken out.

Jinnige knew that some Ming people had an inexplicable belief in their writing.

Yes, Jinnige thinks that faith can only be used to describe the feelings of those Ming people about words.

Those Ming people could not accept any changes to their characters, not even the phonetics.

It felt exactly like Kinney Pavilion was defending their teachings.

In the eyes of those Ming people, this pamphlet compiled by Jinnige was a desecration of their words.

Jinnige only hopes that King Shin is not that kind of person, otherwise things will be in trouble.

But don't ruin the library project.

Alas, I'm still a little carried away.

Jinnige sighed in his heart.

"Your Highness, this is my Chinese character phonetic in Latin, modeled after the Roman character phonetic created by Teacher Matteo Ricci.

This is the biggest secret of my ability to speak Chinese well.

Your Highness, my language talent is really not very good.

I am doing this purely to learn Chinese in the fastest way possible, and I am not desecrating your writing. ”

Facing Zhu Youzhen, who had a gloomy face, Jinnige made the most sincere explanation.

Modeled after Matteo Ricci's Roman phonetics?

Wasn't Matteo Ricci dead?

Zhu Youzhen felt that something was wrong.

Matteo Ricci, Zhu Youzhen still knows.

Xu Guangqi admires Matteo Ricci very much, and he has mentioned Matteo Ricci in front of Zhu Youzhen more than once.

But the Matteo Ricci described by Xu Guangqi doesn't look like a traverser!

Don't......

Zhu Youzhen thought of an idea that he couldn't believe.

Did he meet the inventor of Hanyu Pinyin?

But this booklet, which is obviously the common Chinese pinyin in the previous life, can't have been invented so early, right?

Wasn't Hanyu Pinyin invented after the founding of the People's Republic of China in the previous life?

Could it be that my memories of my past life are wrong?

Zhu Youzhen felt that his head was a little confused.

What the hell is going on.

Seeing Zhu Youzhen's gloomy face, his face was full of doubts, Xu Guangqi couldn't help but come out to play a round.

"Your Highness, these missionaries do rely on this way to learn Chinese.

After all, our Chinese language is broad and profound, and without a simple and feasible textbook, it is too difficult for them foreigners to learn.

Mr. Kinnige was not lying. The phonetics he compiled were indeed developed on the basis of Mr. Matteo Ricci's phonetics.

Compared with the romanization of Mr. Matteo Ricci, this part of Jinnige is closer to the pronunciation of our Ming official dialect.

The Chinese they learn according to this booklet will be easier for us to understand.

Your Highness, Mr. Kinnige is indeed not denigrating our words. ”

Listening to Xu Guangqi's explanation, Zhu Youzhen could finally confirm that he had indeed met the inventor of Hanyu Pinyin.

It's just that this inventor is unknown, and he has no memory of his past life.

With a sigh of relief in his heart, Zhu Youzhen finally regained a smile on his face.

"Since the gentleman said so, then Lone believes it."

After carefully reading the booklet in his hand again, Zhu Youzhen raised his head and said.

After reading it carefully, Zhu Youzhen finally found that there were still many differences in details between this booklet and the Hanyu Pinyin of his previous life.

The reason for the difference may be related to the official accent that is now spoken in the Ming Dynasty.

After all, the official dialect that is now spoken in the Ming Dynasty was developed on the basis of Nanjing dialect.

It is still very different from the Beijing dialect produced after being mixed with the Manchu Qing in the previous life.

It's good that there isn't another traverser.

Zhu Youzhen's heart finally let go.
