Chapter 375: Simplified Chinese
"To put it mildly, I am also very supportive of large-scale education, but there is one biggest difficulty, that is, we have a serious shortage of teachers, there are not enough teachers, and the school cannot be built."
"Mr. Min Yuan, not to mention the lack of teachers in the school, the factory also lacks jishu talents, this time from Beijing and Tianjin came a lot of students, many of them are normal students, I think they can be recruited directly into the school, in addition to other students who want to join the political army, we will put forward a plan for them, which can appropriately lower the admission standards, but the premise is that they must teach in the school for three years. Of course, the top achievers are also encouraged to teach, and this experience can be used as a basis for their future promotion. ”
When Wang Yongjiang heard this, a smile appeared on his face: "This method is good, learning and excelling are good, Chinese people like to be officials, but before becoming an official, you must first become a teacher, as long as the conditions are right, I think it is completely feasible."
"Mr. Min Yuan, in fact, I have been weighing the issue of education repeatedly, what kind of talents do we want to cultivate, to clarify this problem, targeted investment, than blind investment."
"To put it mildly, you mentioned it several times earlier, saying that it is necessary to develop science and engineering education, to carry out education for all, and to cultivate practical talents.
"I can't talk about high theory, I think that practical talents are also divided into many kinds, take technicians as an example, they are also divided into high, medium and low, which direction we want to tilt, the effect is very different. What I mean is that we should lean towards the middle and low end, not be too ambitious, not pursue those flashy things, and do not engage in education and not preach to those scholars that we should cultivate any excellent citizens, we should shape our personalities, and we should teach students according to their aptitude. Independent development. These things sound very reasonable, but they are the things that the rich play with, and we can't afford to toss this little family business, so we can solve the simplest literacy and numeracy problems, so that after lowering the standards, it will be much easier to find a teacher. ”
As a traverser, innovation is the most familiar word, and it is extremely sacred to say, Zhang Tinglan originally wanted to rely on his own foresight. Engage in some big innovations, and suddenly get ahead of the great powers. However, after more than two years of thinking, Zhang Tinglan completely put this idea aside, which is not realistic at all, even if Zhang Tinglan is a specialist in a certain field. I can't figure it out.
There are at least two levels to making a new product. One is Jishu's innovation. One is technological innovation, for example, Zhang Tinglan drew the drawings of the Essex-class aircraft carrier, but how to turn the things on the drawings into physical objects requires more effort, which involves a lot of shipbuilding technology. When it comes to materials science, when it comes to engineering integration capabilities, it's a huge systems engineering.
There are countless new designs on Shijie every year, but less than one in a thousand Zuihou becomes a real thing. That's engineering enablement.
Even if they are academician-level experts in later generations, they are only involved in one or two fields, and it is impossible to have such an all-round character, and Zhang Tinglan is even more out of reach.
And even in later generations, there are very few countries that can afford to play jishu innovation, and even the Japanese are evaluated as lacking in innovation ability, and in the final analysis, it is only a few countries such as the United States and Europe that will play innovation in later generations.
At present, Fengtian's industry has just started, and many fields are still blank, and it will definitely not work if you want to reach the sky in one step. Of course, this does not mean that there is no way out, on the contrary, Zhang Tinglan found a shortcut, that is, imitation and copycats, new things have appeared in the powers, and the Fengjun can imitate them.
If you do more, you will naturally master a large number of crafts, and at this time, you will have new ideas, slowly make some changes that suit your needs, and gradually accumulate them, and a primary scientific research ability can be formed.
Then you can carry out tracking research, catch up with Shijie's advanced jishu, in this aspect, Zhang Tinglan's advanced vision can play a great role, you can know the direction of tracking, you can avoid gratuitous waste, and the speed of catching up can be improved a lot, in fact, this road is also the road for China to catch up with the great powers in later generations, although there are many problems, but it is basically certain that it is a successful road, otherwise the United States and European countries will not be in a deep economic crisis, difficult to extricate themselves, and China is a standout.
In this way, China's jishu level is certainly lagging behind Shijie, but it will not be too bad for Japan, after all, Japan is also the bottom among the great powers, and China also has a huge size advantage, so it can rely on resources and manpower to fight the Japanese. This kind of struggle is not a tragic inch of mountains and rivers and an inch of blood, but a model of the torrent of red steel submerging the Third Reich, which is also the most realistic and economical way.
In the field of basic education, primary schools only need to solve the problems of literacy and arithmetic, and after middle school, they can get in touch with physical and chemical science knowledge. If you have good grades, you can enter the university, further your studies, or even study abroad, and these people will become the top part of the talent, as a leader.
As for the vast majority of others, after a certain amount of skill training, they can become qualified middle and low-level jishu workers, relying on their operation accumulation, and then with the leadership of a few outstanding talents, Fengjun may not be able to make some products suitable for themselves, and at that time, there will be no worries about the Japanese.
"What new culture, new ideas, or let those university professors who have spare time to solve it, let's honestly solve the problem of survival, I think you can almost promote the simplified words, after all, after the font is simplified, learning to recognize will become much easier, there are more literate people, the base has increased, and there are more possible talents!"
In later generations, there is also a dispute between traditional and simplified characters, but if you look back at Chinese history, you will find that Chinese characters have been simplified, from the big seal, to the small seal, in the later italics, Chinese characters have been simplified, since the Han and Tang dynasties, Chinese society has coexisted with two fonts at the same time, one is the regular character, the other is the vulgar character, that is, the so-called simplified character.
The orthographic character is used in the formal official documents, inscriptions, the vulgar characters are mainly ordinary people, peddlers and pawns, do not seek beauty and beauty, just for easy writing, easy to identify, to the time of the Ming Dynasty, the vulgar characters have been accepted by many readers, if according to this trend, perhaps the simplified words will appear hundreds of years in advance.
As a result, after the Manchu Qing Dynasty stole the Central Plains, they showed an unprecedented authoritarian attitude towards culture, and the Qianlong Emperor personally ordered that the use of vulgar characters was banned in the imperial examinations, and all traditional characters with complex writing were adopted, which caused a great fragmentation of culture, and the cultural ties between the upper class of scholars and the bottom peddlers and pawns were severed, and those intellectuals could only bury their heads in the pile of old papers.
The retro of traditional Chinese characters is essentially no different from the Manchu shaved hair and easy to obey, both of which are promoting slavery education, taming intellectuals, and more haode dividing social classes and controlling the common people.
This policy of fooling the people has been implemented for hundreds of years, and later generations even have a group of people who claim to be scholars to summon the soul of traditional Chinese characters, and Tian shamelessly said that traditional Chinese characters represent cultural inheritance, if it really represents culture, it is also a slave culture on behalf of the Qing Dynasty, and it is the poison of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
And in the final analysis, writing is not culture, but the carrier of culture, China's thousands of years of inheritance is not a few words of writing, but the inheritance of loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, gentleness, courtesy, thrift, the inheritance of the gentleman like jade, industrious and simple national character, this is the core of the whole culture.
This core is still there, Chinese culture is there, the rest of the words, clothes, etc. are all appearances, when the Tang Dynasty was prosperous, the Chinese did not hesitate to abandon the previous clothes and crowns, and instead put on Hu clothes, without the slightest fuss, why the Chinese in later generations care so much, in the final analysis, it is still a manifestation of lack of self-confidence.
"To put it mildly, it is definitely not easy to implement simplified characters." Wang Yongjiang said: "Simplified Chinese characters are used in the army, and many people have approached me and asked if Fengjun also intends to push it out in an all-round way. Most people are against it, but the reason is very simple, after a little simplification of the font, there will be more people who can read and write, and it will be a huge shock to those who now monopolize knowledge, so they make up all kinds of reasons to stop it. ”
"Don't worry about that." Zhang Zuolin suddenly said on the side: "It's just a matter of daring to do things, the salt merchants have been inherited for hundreds of years, the relationship is intertwined, and the resistance is very huge, but how much backlash has we received when we take down the Fan family?" On the contrary, there will be new businessmen filling in immediately, and we will have guns in our hands and money bags in our waists, and if we want to do things, we will make bold moves, and we will not be afraid at all. ”
"Dashuai is right, I recently found someone to sort out the first batch of 160 commonly used simplified Chinese characters in society, ready to be officially announced, and stipulate that the government documents of the three eastern provinces must use these characters, and then the army, schools, and factories must also use these characters."
"After the implementation of the first batch of simplified words, we will solicit opinions from all parties and launch the second batch, the text is simplified to facilitate writing and identification, if you can take into account the beauty, pay attention to the connotation of the font, the effect will be better."
Wang Yongjiang is not only a good hand in civil affairs, but also quite courageous, since he has this idea, Wang Yongjiang will not back down. Zhang Tinglan also agreed very much on the side: "Mr. Min Yuan, the army has not moved, public opinion first, and it is a big thing to comprehensively push away simplified characters, I am going to set up a special column in the newspaper to teach the development process of Chinese characters, the origin of traditional Chinese characters and simplified characters, and also preach the various measures of the Manchu Qing Dynasty foolish people, and make these things public and let the people of the world judge, I believe that people of insight will recognize this problem."
