Chapter 42 Hanyu Pinyin (II)
(New books for collections, recommended votes, please, please!) Your attention is the motivation for my writing, thank you! )
By the afternoon of the third day, the gentlemen had memorized all the rules of pinyin. It may also be that they continued to work hard after returning home, but no matter what, more than 100 gentlemen still had some stumbles in using it, but they finally mastered the spelling method of Hanyu Pinyin thoroughly.
In the past three days, these gentlemen have simply admired Geng Jingzhong's five-body throw, and unanimously believe that only this Chinese pinyin can make him famous in history. For thousands of years in China, there have been very few children of the aristocracy who have been able to learn and succeed, let alone create a classic that will be passed on to future generations.
In the past, the general academic system of Mengxue was to require the study of three books, "Three Character Classic", "Hundred Family Names" and "Thousand Character Text". Each book requires students to study for half a year, and students are only required to be able to memorize and write silently, have a preliminary interpretation of the words, and then write simple short essays by themselves.
This teaching method is no different from the "cramming" education of primary and junior high schools in later generations, where students are only responsible for memorization, and do not care about the rest for the time being, and wait until the students are older to let them think back and add their own understanding. Although this teaching method greatly limits students' creativity, it is very practical and advanced for this era. In fact, this is also the advantage of Chinese-style education, which can make students lay a solid foundation, no matter what they learn in the future, such as the Four Books and Five Classics, they can learn quickly. Of course, when the students were young, they still didn't understand those Confucian theories, and when they grew up, they slowly understood the connotation. These are not very related, the early enlightenment education is mainly for students to remember, remember words, remember the truth of life and so on.
In fact, Geng Jingzhong opened so many future schools not to train a group of Confucian scholars, reciting poems all day long, and writing some useless Bagu texts. What he wants is for schoolchildren to be able to read and write as much as possible, understand some truths, and then turn to scientific learning, so as to cultivate a large number of practical talents. Otherwise, the Western missionaries and other Western talents he had spent so much effort to bring back would have been in vain. The next stage of the Future Academy is to transform into a technical school, where these students learn about science rather than being sent to the imperial examinations.
"Now, it's all over! All the gentlemen are worthy of being excellent readers, and they have mastered all the Chinese pinyin in just three afternoons. Awesome! Geng Jingzhong also really admires the readers of this era, and his learning ability is really strong. If these people are born in the next life, they will rely on this, and it will not be a problem at all to take the exam at that time.
"Shizi, with this Hanyu Pinyin, I will definitely be able to teach most of the Chinese characters to the schoolchildren within half a year, and it is definitely not a problem to write a letter to the family." As soon as Geng Jingzhong's voice fell, Long Yaowen from the White Horse Future School immediately spoke. He was one of the best "students" of the three afternoons, learning very fast and the most active, but he was a little younger than Geng Jingzhong. Originally, he had a strong local dialect of Fuzhou, but now he can speak Mandarin relatively clearly.
"Shizi, in less than a year, the "Three Character Classic", "Hundred Family Names" and "Thousand Character Text" will all be learned."
"Okay, well, although it is impossible for everyone under this room to be a child prodigy, I have always believed that there are no stupid students, only teachers who can't teach. Now that you have the magic weapon of Hanyu Pinyin, you must be able to get twice the result with half the effort when you teach your students. At the start, it was a big step ahead of the rest of the world. But," Geng Jingzhong bought a pass, which immediately attracted everyone's attention, "but the gentlemen have not rested for the time being, and I would like to ask a few gentlemen to go to the rest of the states and counties to teach other gentlemen." In this way, the children in the Fujian Future School can quickly recognize and write, benefiting the whole of Fujian! I don't know" Geng Jingzhong immediately threw a huge bait at these gentlemen, and put everyone present into it in one go.
"Shizi, I am making a wish!"
"Shizi, in my hometown Putian, I wish to go to Putian!"
"The Son"
Without careful consideration, this task, to put it bluntly, is to act as a cultural ambassador. Obviously, no one can resist the ** of this cultural ambassador, when even if they are willing to go, you fight for me, and there is almost no elegant image of a scholar with a red face.
"Quiet! Everyone, pause. It's a good job, but it's not sloppy at all. Therefore, Ben Shizi is ready and has decided to give you a test, and the content of the exam is Hanyu Pinyin. Geng Jingzhong looked at everyone present who was eager to try, and his face was full of eagerness, and he truly fully appreciated how enthusiastic the ancients were in their pursuit of fame. Didn't whet their appetite: "The exam is divided into two parts, one is to speak, and the other is to write. To say is to speak, speaking Mandarin is the official dialect of Beijing, and the better you speak, the higher your score. Write, is spelling, to you an article, please mark its pinyin on each word, spelling the right score, wrong deduction points. In the end, fourteen people were selected to teach in the other seven provinces. If you are not selected, don't be discouraged, gentlemen, next spring, I will let you go to the whole country to teach, so that all the people in the country can learn this Chinese pinyin. In the future, the whole country will be unified with the Chinese language, and you will be the greatest contributors. ”
The blood of everyone present was boiling, and being able to participate in such a great event made them feel honored and full of enthusiasm. Long Yaowen, who was the most active, stood up again: "May I ask Shizi, when will the exam start?" ”
"The time is set for seven days, you can use these seven days to integrate Chinese pinyin, listening, speaking, reading, and writing are familiar with it several times, and there is a good buffer. But the teaching of the Daily School cannot be abandoned. Okay, that's all for today, and I'll be here for the exam in seven days. Gentlemen, you can go back! ”
Usually, the gentlemen in the cafeteria would get up and walk out one after another after Geng Jingzhong walked out of the door. This time, they didn't, they all stayed in their seats and talked excitedly with the people around them. Although Geng Jingzhong thought that there would be such a day when he taught Hanyu Pinyin, he did not expect that it would come so quickly. In a few days, they will be able to spread the Chinese language and promote the unification of the whole Chinese language, and their heartbeats are already accelerating to the extreme.
"Brother Runpu, how about discussing it together? Let's ask each other questions and find fault with each other, so that we can progress faster. Behind closed doors can still be a big problem! ”
"What Brother Zicheng said is that one person counts short, and the other counts long, and only by checking each other can we find mistakes and omissions. Come on, come on! Without further ado, let's get started now. ”
More than 100 gentlemen got together in groups of two and three, and began to discuss. It wasn't until the sun went down that they left together, ready to fight at night.
"Master, your method is simply amazing. Now those teaching gentlemen are not desperate to learn this Chinese pinyin! If they learn well on their own, they will be more standard when they teach students in the future. Hey, this method is good, and you can often come to this kind of assessment in the future, and you can assess whether the official words they say are not standard! Ah Hu followed behind Geng Jingzhong and was full of praise for Geng Jingzhong's method of this exam.
"Hey, you're a pretty smart kid, so that's it. In the future, the school will take a big test every six months, and the children's Mandarin will be tested if it is not standard. Standard awards, non-standard punishments, you can do this thing in the future! ”
"Okay, sir! There's no rush yet, after all, schoolchildren haven't started learning yet! With this Chinese pinyin, our future school is already leading, and the children in Fujian have to complete the enlightenment one year earlier than other provinces, and the foundation is more solid, which is a huge advantage! ”
"You're right, of course we can use it ourselves now, and let them wait for the rest of the place. By the way, you are in charge of the school, and you also pay attention to it, if there are really good seedlings, after a year to lay a solid foundation, let them learn to deal with government affairs, cultivate in the direction of management, and the future will be of great use! ”
Before you know it, seven days have passed in a flash. In these seven days, more than 100 teachers have really worked hard and studied hard, as if they were going to participate in the palace examination of the Jinluan Palace, and they were very hard. Everyone has written a lot of articles in pinyin over and over again, and they are all determined to win this selection!
Early in the morning, all the teachers gathered here, and the children had been told yesterday that they would not be in class today. Everyone had one or more scrolls in their hands, and they looked like the notes Geng Jingzhong had taken in class some time ago.
When Geng Jingzhong saw this scene when he arrived, he immediately thought of the scene when he took the teacher qualification examination and the teacher recruitment examination, and couldn't help but smile. Then he ordered these gentlemen to enter the examination room, and a few pieces of white paper, a brush, and an inkstone were placed in front of each person. The questions of the exam ----- Han Yu's "Shi Shuo" and Liu Zongyuan's "The Snake Catcher Says". These two are masterpieces that have been passed down through the ages, and they are also rich in words, and there are many rare words, which can pull off their achievements. The exam lasts for half an hour, and you can submit your papers in advance. After handing in the papers, you can go forward to draw lots and wait for the speaking test according to the serial number.
There are more than 100 gentlemen, and it takes six or seven hours for each person to read the article for three minutes, that is, more than three hours. Geng Jingzhong was not prepared to finish the exam in one morning, so he temporarily let the school have a day off and changed it to a whole day of exams.
The two articles, in total, add up to only a thousand words, and half an hour is just right. Geng Jingzhong slowly walked around the three examination rooms, these teaching gentlemen could see that they had indeed worked hard in the past few days, and they didn't feel awkward at all when they picked up the pen to write the pinyin alphabet they had just learned. However, Geng Jingzhong watched them pick up the brush and write this pinyin letter, no matter how you look at it, it feels weird! It seems that these readers usually write a lot of small seals, and it is quite elegant to write this letter; Geng Jingzhong also observed that every time they wrote a letter, they would take the initiative to leave a short distance to show the difference, and I have to say that even Geng Jingzhong himself was negligent in this regard!
