Chapter 116 Textbook Compilation
The Eight Views Palace is also deep, and the two little girls have fallen asleep in their respective small beds. Naturally, there are maidservants serving the two little ones, who are snoring at this time.
And in the middle room, there is still a light. Lu Hanyang hadn't slept yet, he was sorting out some things. Some things that have been dusted in my memory for a long time really don't think much about it.
In the conversation with Li Er this afternoon, Lu Hanyang did find that he had not done enough in the education of the two little girls. Although he entertained and put some simple knowledge of nature into the play.
But after all, I have never been a teacher, so I am not organized enough. So he's ready to plan it well. There are still a few months to go, and when the spring of next year comes, I will be ready to leave Chang'an and travel everywhere, and before that, I will start basic education.
"Immortal Chief, this is what you want, and it has been prepared for you." Lu Hanyang asked Yuan Tiangang to prepare something, which was the basis of his teaching materials.
Pen, ink, paper, inkstone is indispensable, and there is also a book of explanatory words. In this year's time, Lu Hanyang can be regarded as being able to correspond to most of the text on this explanatory text to the simplified Chinese characters in the past.
In this era, reading is a very luxurious and difficult thing, not only the money spent on reading, but also the trouble for all students to master those words.
Because there is no pinyin, all the new words are memorized by rote, which is the source of the so-called fake words. In fact, I forgot how to write the correct word when I wrote it at that time. Typos that are written are then called fake words.
"Write out the pinyin alphabet first, and the Arabic numerals. These two times are the foundation of language and mathematics. With the pinyin alphabet, as long as you add a sound to each word, even a child like Lizhi can recognize all the words. Lu Hanyang thought so, after all, the number of letters is much less than the number of new words.
And it seems to be very good to get a dictionary out, which can be one of the three immortals. It is not an exaggeration to call it a magnum opus, because there was no such book that explained the meaning of each word.
Even if there are such books, they are considered to be primary schools, that is, niche subjects, and they are not valued at all, and they were not separated from the primary school category until the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty.
Before that, there were many books of this category, such as: Tai Shi Zhou's "Shi Zhou", Qin Dynasty Li Si's "Cangjie Chapter", Zhao Gao's "Calendar Chapter", Hu Wujing's "Erudite Chapter", Western Han Dynasty Shiyou's "First Aid Chapter", Yang Xiong's "Training Chapter" and so on.
But none of these deciphered the meaning of each word, until Xu Shen's "Shuowen Jie Zi" in the Eastern Han Dynasty. After that, there was a real prototype of a dictionary. But it's also relatively negligent.
Therefore, Lu Hanyang is ready to ask the people of Bajing Palace to compile a new dictionary, and use the specifications of later dictionaries that Lu Hanyang himself knows to completely unify the text. After all, although the writing at this time has been standardized, there are still a lot of rare words, and basically not many people know them.
Even among the readers, knowing these rare words is regarded as knowledge, and such people can be used to govern the world, which really makes Lu Hanyang feel a little unreliable.
So after Lu Hanyang got the pinyin alphabet out, the first person to learn was not Li Lizhi or Xiaowu, but an adult with a high talent - Li Chunfeng.
After this young Taoist priest arrived at the Bajing Palace, he seemed very obscure, studied those scriptures, and then integrated the mythological system of the flood brought by Lu Hanyang, and after more than half a year, he finally sorted out a context.
And this time, Lu Hanyang once again gave him an important task, asking him to sort out the words in the world, and then use pinyin to annotate, and unify the meanings of these words, and then compile a dictionary.
After Li Chunfeng took over this task, instead of feeling distressed by Lu Hanyang for giving him such a difficult task, he knelt down directly at Lu Hanyang and kowtowed several times.
"The immortal chief looks up to Li Chunfeng so much, he will definitely live up to the trust of the immortal chief, if there is a bad pool, Li Chunfeng is willing to come to see him." Li Chunfeng began to devote himself to the sea of words as he spoke, preparing to use this dictionary to become famous through the ages.
Of course, Lu Hanyang didn't know all this, he thought it was a very good thing to do, because a modern dictionary or something was just a few yuan a copy. And basically, except for related professional text researchers and children, the average person rarely uses dictionaries anymore.
Because they have mobile phones, they have Du Niang and Gu Ge to solve all problems.
So his plan to get a dictionary in a short period of time, and then let Li Lizhi learn a lot of words was completely shattered. In terms of mathematics, addition and subtraction, multiplication and division, as well as the knowledge of one yuan one, one yuan two, and two yuan quadratic, it took Lu Hanyang a long time to remember some of them.
All the preparations are going on, and Lu Hanyang has a lot less time to play with the children.
During this time, Xiao Wu was still very lively, but Li Lizhen quietly studied many times, looking at the Four Books and Five Classics brought back from the palace, and the female crown who served her by her side served as her husband.
"Okay, the textbook is almost ready, now you can start to lay the foundation for Lizhi, let her be familiar with the pinyin alphabet first." The alphabet was the first to come out. It's just twenty-six letters, and they're just a combination of them.
The pinyin alphabet can be said to be very simple, because this is what lays the foundation for school-age children, and whether it is initials, finals, the overall number of readings adds up to only so dozens. It can be learned very quickly, especially Li Lizhi is very smart.
And after learning, as long as the pinyin is noted, then Li Lizhi can quickly master a lot of words. It's like a thousand-character article, when it comes to rhetorical embellishment, the meaning of each sentence is superior.
But by rote memorization, children are really much worse. It is impossible to thoroughly understand every word in a short period of time, and it is precisely because of this that the ancients remember the words they have heard very reliably.
Because that's how they come up step by step, an article, as long as they have heard it or read it a few times, and with their sensitivity to these words, they can repeat it.
Being able to do this can be called unforgettable in modern times, but in ancient times, each of the famous Confucians was basically able to do it.
