Chapter 164 The text has the same root language and the same sound
This chapter has been coded six times, and it is not ideal to code it out. I had the heart to bring a few words over, but I was afraid that it would be incoherent and give people an abrupt feeling, so I had to make do with it.
After telling the story and throwing out the booklet, Gao Hongsheng threw down the group of people who were still in the story and lamented the deeds of the messenger, and directly opened the hatch and slipped to the foredeck to watch the excitement.
He was fine, but one of these people in the restaurant took a thin booklet and opened it, and they were all dumbfounded.
It's really Gao Hongsheng's Taikeng people, his booklet was actually printed in simplified Chinese, and when he wrote the story at that time, he took into account the education of his subordinates in the future, so he printed it directly in simplified Chinese.
Hong Jincai and Feng Laosi are better, at least they have learned a lot in front of Gao Hongsheng, not to mention the four foreign devils, and they don't even know a few traditional Chinese characters, let alone simplified Chinese characters in later generations.
But even the three senior ladies who are known as talented girls are looking at this booklet in a daze, there are too many Chinese characters in it that I don't know, so it's a bit of a trick.
Anyone who has read books in traditional Chinese knows that after knowing simplified Chinese characters, everyone can basically understand what they have guessed, at least the general meaning in the article can be guessed.
But if you can't understand simplified characters, a person who just understands traditional Chinese characters suddenly sees simplified characters, and you don't know what those simplified Chinese characters are?
Especially those Chinese characters that have been simplified a lot, it is even more difficult to guess, such as that, the simplified Chinese character "several", the traditional Chinese character is "several", can you link these two Chinese characters together?
But it is much simpler to know the simplified Chinese characters and see the traditional Chinese characters, you can guess the way you can guess a little bit, after all, we have a characteristic of Chinese characters, that is, we don't recognize the words we know halfway, even the basic guess is almost the same, the approximate meaning of the code can be guessed.
Don't underestimate simplified characters, do you know why Chinese is difficult to learn?
In fact, it is not simplified Chinese characters that are difficult to learn, but traditional Chinese characters, which are much easier to learn than traditional Chinese characters, and they are much faster to write, not to mention that they can speed up people's memory in terms of memory.
In fact, whether Chinese characters should be used in simplified Chinese characters, the public says that the public is reasonable, I am a lazy woman, I just like simplified Chinese characters, Made, even the simplified Chinese characters are now recognized by the effort, if I learn traditional Chinese characters I can be depressed to death, how many strokes do you write!
What is text? What is the fundamental purpose of words?
Words are a tool to record people's language, why are you doing so complicated with a tool? Do you have to complicate simple things to show what you're capable of?
There are two main scripts in the world, one is Chinese pictographs, the other is a combination of letters, and many other scripts are mostly close relatives of these two, so let's not talk about them.
So which is better between Chinese and Western is a question that should be considered from a long-term perspective, and if after a hundred years, I believe that Chinese will become the most important language used to record in the world.
There is a reason for this, Chinese does not have the difficult problem of zài combinations, each of his characters has a separate explanation, we only need to combine different Chinese characters together to produce new phrases and words.
But the Western language is not good, his combination is those letters, when the vocabulary reaches a certain Cheng dù, everyone will find a peculiar phenomenon, there is no way to combine. That is, overflowing, full, and the new noun can not continue to be combined at all, because it has already been occupied by the old noun.
There is a more terrifying problem, that is, the problem of error tolerance, if there is a typo in Chinese characters, it is easy to be discovered, but Western is different, his error tolerance rate will greatly exceed that of Chinese characters in the future.
With the development of science and technology, the speed of computer transmission will be faster and faster, and when it reaches a certain point, the speed of scanning and input of Chinese characters and Western languages will be basically the same, and at that time, people will suddenly find that the probability of errors in Chinese characters input into the computer is a few thousandths of that of Western languages, and that is when everyone is forced to learn Chinese characters.
In addition, people say that Chinese grammar is the most confusing grammar in the world.
In fact, the most important problem is that there is no such thing as grammar in Chinese, we don't need any subject, object and so on, we just need to be able to say our meaning in the order of the language.
Didn't the ancients need to record their words and deeds in Chinese? No way? It seems that we have been recording in Chinese for thousands of years, and those people don't understand what Western things like subject, predicate, object, etc.
But why do we need to learn these things? To put it bluntly, the so-called Chinese grammar is the "new clothes" that dressed up the "emperor" of the Chinese language during the May Fourth Movement.
Chinese is not a morphological language, and there is no morphological change of sexuality, number, case, tense, tense, and position, that is, there is no so-called Western inflection language or the morphology of fusion languages.
When Chinese speak, they do not need to consider the morphology of the "word" ending in the sentence.
The "grammatical" logical relationships of Chinese are all solidified in virtual words and word order, and our expressions are much simpler.
But then why did we start learning Western grammar?
This is mainly because there was a kind of "Euro-American-centrism" at that time, simply put, they were the center of the world, and we were in a kind of marginal area, and if we wanted to develop, we had to follow them, so the children came with the bathwater, and the result was such a grammatical thing.
We don't have grammar, and as a result, we have a Western grammar system to regulate our Chinese, which is not the most confusing grammar.
In fact, Hanyu Pinyin is a thing, whether it is useful or not, everyone has their own opinions, is it impossible for us to know Chinese characters without Hanyu Pinyin? But the ancients also knew Chinese characters! They haven't learned Hanyu Pinyin, don't they also know Chinese characters?
But Hanyu Pinyin, I think the biggest benefit is the popularity of Mandarin, you must know that our Chinese characters originally had no sound, and our pronunciation is very different when reading the same word in different places, which hinders our communication, but the phonetic annotation of Chinese Pinyin, when we read the same Chinese character in the future, it is the standard Mandarin pronunciation.
And in terms of learning Chinese characters, children learn Chinese pinyin to learn Chinese characters, so it is a lot more convenient, they don't know the Chinese characters they know through the spelling of guò Chinese pinyin, you can accurately spell out by yourself, which greatly saves us the troubles of adults.
The most important thing is that in terms of literacy, it is a great saving of literacy time, you must know that China has a population of hundreds of millions, if there is no Chinese pinyin for literacy, God knows how many teachers China needs to do this hard work.
One of the most fundamental aspects is that the text is the same as the root language, which is a fundamental condition for ruling the country.
