"Chen County Order, I and a few teachers from Qiushi Academy have already begun to estimate, I'm afraid it will be impossible to learn all the basic things in four years!" Ning Shuyu said.

Chen Fei immediately frowned again and asked, "Why?" Isn't four years enough? Isn't a few thousand common words enough for them to learn in a matter of years? ”

Chen Fei just didn't understand that even if he learned new words in primary school in later generations, he only learned three grades, and after learning three grades, he would basically be able to learn all the new words. So isn't four years enough for these students to learn thousands of common words?

"No, it's because the font is too complicated. There are dozens of strokes for each word, and it may be difficult for children to memorize. If you don't have seven or eight years, I'm afraid you won't be able to memorize thousands of commonly used words! Ning Shuyu said.

Chen Fei then remembered that traditional Chinese characters were used in ancient times, and traditional Chinese characters are not easy to learn! When Chen Fei just crossed over, because it was a physical crossing, he didn't know too many traditional characters. Chen Fei can only roughly recognize traditional Chinese characters, and after Chen Fei solved the problems of life, he immediately searched for a comparison table of simplified and traditional Chinese characters on the Internet in later generations. Even until now, Chen Fei has not been able to memorize all the traditional Chinese characters, and sometimes he has to open his mobile phone to find out how to write the traditional characters. Of course, this is absolutely not to be told to others, otherwise a person who has passed the imperial examination will not know the commonly used Chinese characters, and it will be absolutely cheating.

Ning Shuyu continued: "The vast majority of Chinese character strokes are above the pen, so you can't remember them without a few days of study. So we say that after seven or eight years of literacy, this is very normal. So we can't shorten it, otherwise we won't be able to finish learning. ”

"Then you mean to study for seven or eight years, so that we still have to invest so much?" Chen Fei snorted.

Chen Fei has been literate for seven or eight years. It's just scoffing. If it takes seven or eight years just to be literate, then is there anything else to learn? Therefore, Chen Fei will never allow his students to study for seven or eight years, after all, with such a long learning cycle, I am afraid that no one can stand it at all. Education is actually an assembly line, once the cycle of this "assembly line" is too long, it will not only cost high, but also the efficiency will be greatly reduced. Therefore, Chen Fei certainly hopes to shorten the length of this "assembly line", so that more students can graduate as soon as possible, and then free up teachers to teach the next batch of students.

"Even the Confucian classics can save time, but this literacy can definitely not be saved. Literacy is the most basic part of reading. If you don't even know the font, how can you learn well? As long as you can read and write, then you can learn any Confucian classics by yourself, and you don't necessarily need a tutor. But literacy absolutely needs a tutor, and it definitely can't save time, otherwise we won't be able to teach people. Ning Shuyu said.

Chen Fei finally became anxious for a while, and finally wanted to set up a academy, but all kinds of problems came. These problems are all problems of the cost of student education, and students cannot afford them. The time and material costs of all kinds of education are much higher than those of later generations. In ancient times, it was very difficult to run an education.

"What do you think we do with simplified Chinese?" Chen Fei asked.

"Simplified?" Ning Shuyu didn't understand what it meant.

Chen Fei immediately took out a comparison of simplified and traditional Chinese written by Chen Fei himself, and then handed it to Ning Shuyu. And Ning Shuyu saw Chen Fei's comparison of simplified and traditional Chinese characters, and was immediately shocked! Let's not talk about this difference between simplified and traditional characters. It is not easy to say that it is not easy to simplify a traditional Chinese character into such a simple thing.

Don't think it's easy to simplify fonts, which can be a very complex project. Chinese characters can be derived from hieroglyphs, and the initial fonts were simple to complex. And then again the process from complex to simple. At the beginning, the fonts of the primitive period were not complicated, and the fonts were only dozens. But then more and more things were expressed, and more and more fonts were created. Finally it gets complicated.

And if you want to simplify Chinese characters, not only can you just remove a few strokes, but you must not only retain the basic meaning of the word, after all, you can't directly replace hieroglyphs with other irrelevant things. Each Chinese character represents Chinese culture, and if you remove any stroke, then if the remaining part of the structure or something else is not perfect and pictographic enough, then in the end it will be a tiger and not an anti-dog. Therefore, the simplification of Chinese characters is not so easy to do, and this simplified Chinese character of later generations has also taken many experts and scholars decades to complete, starting from the Republic of China period, and it was really completed decades after the founding of New China. As you can imagine, it is very difficult to simplify Chinese characters.

As an educator, Ning Shuyu certainly knows how difficult it is to simplify Chinese characters, so seeing Chen Fei actually simplify so many Chinese characters is simply amazing!

"Chen County Order, if I can teach students these simplified characters, then in less than three years, no, two years, I can guarantee to teach those students to learn thousands of commonly used words." Ning Shuyu said.

The effect of simplifying Chinese characters is that the time cost of learning is greatly reduced, and it does not take seven or eight years to reach the point of literacy, but it takes one or two years to complete the recognition of thousands of Chinese characters. If some geniuses are available, it can even be within a year. So simplified Chinese is a very beneficial thing, and it is certainly worth promoting.

"But will other literati object?" Chen Fei asked.

"Well, it should be!" Ning Shuyu said.

Even in later generations, there were many people who opposed simplified characters, let alone ancient times? Therefore, Ning Shuyu did not dare to guarantee that this simplified Chinese character would not be opposed, and if the central government of the country did not support the implementation of this simplified Chinese character, then the simplified Chinese character would not be popular.

"Chen County Order, if you really want to implement this simplified Chinese character, you might as well find a real scholar, preferably someone with a deep background, so that it may be much easier for him to come forward!" Ning Shuyu said.

"Academics with a strong background? That's a bit difficult! Chen Fei began to wonder which academic master he knew, and he also had a deep background.

If the background is not deep enough, I am afraid that someone will "spray" to death. And if the academic achievement is not high enough, then the implementation of simplified Chinese will not be convincing.

"Well, let's try it, I don't know if he will support me, a person who only has one side!" Chen Fei thought in his heart.
