What is the text used for? The most mainstream answer is that it is used as a means to disseminate and record information, and it is the images and symbols that carry language. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 There are actually only two types of info, which are to use letters to express pronunciation to record the content of speech, and to use graphics to express the image of things to depict.

The latter is the basis for Chinese creation.

Although he doesn't know the lingua franca, Zhao Mai knows Chinese characters. I stared wide and tried to look at the druid characters on the tree, but I didn't expect to see Chinese characters, the font was mixed with small seals and official scripts, and the small characters were densely packed, forming beautiful and intricate patterns on the bark.

Zhao Mai sat down on the ground, covering his mouth with his hands, not knowing what expression to use to face it. Is there really some relationship between the druids and the ancient Chinese, if this is the result of some god opening his brain, then this hole is really deep and big. According to the setting of the fantasy world, the druids were born from primitive shamans, and in the era when intelligent creatures barely survived, based on the awe of nature, which is logically not mixed by the Chinese. But what is it about using Chinese characters as druidic scripts?

No wonder when he heard the fragment of the Tao Te Ching, Joseph Druid had such a big reaction that he even fainted, which inevitably did not have the influence of this aspect, which is the so-called culture of the same line; no wonder the Druid script could not be learned by anyone except the Druid, which was too difficult to learn; No wonder the spell of knowing the language could decipher all the words, but there was no way to take the Druid - the others were alphabetic characters, only this one was graphic writing.

In the past, Zhao Mai had always been very puzzled about why the druid script was so special in all languages, and almost all language-related spells would make a special case to it, and it turned out that the root was here. If I hadn't personally come to the Druid community and seen the Tree of Enlightenment with my own eyes, I would never have believed this premise.

"Mike, are you alright?" Ziyue crouched down to look at him, and the two small circles were squeezed into an oval on her knees. "Why are you covering your mouth, why do you have a weird expression that you can't cry when you want to cry. ”

I was so excited that I wanted to laugh! Zhao Mai shouted in his heart. Unlike pinyin, where the letters have nothing to do with what they can mean, the Chinese characters themselves have meaning, for example, the words "up" and "down" will never be reversed and wrong. Besides, the whole text is already in Chinese characters, and this chance has been realized, so is there anything difficult to understand about their meanings not changing?

"Don't be discouraged, these druidic scripts were used in ancient times and are very difficult to learn, so they are now simplified. Afra said calmly, "As long as you have a foundation in the lingua franca, modern druid writing is very easy to learn. ”

Lucius flicked his blonde hair and said, "But, at the end of the day, the core of the druid language is these words. If you don't understand them, you don't understand the history of the druids. If you forget the origin of the lineage, you will be lost in the time of enlightenment. Mike, I sincerely hope that you will give up your radical ideas and move forward step by step. Only then will you be able to reach the level I am now. ”

Ms. Celine patted Lucius on the shoulder, signaling that he was talking a little too much. Lucius bowed slightly and closed his mouth.

Zhao Mai slowly calmed down, and he decided to take advantage of this advantage that no one knew about to seek benefits for himself. However, there was a question he hadn't figured out yet, so he politely asked, "Afra-san, can you tell me how to read these words?"

Afra's cheeks flushed slightly, and her voice twisted slightly, but she still said, "I can't recognize all the words on it, and the pronunciation can't guarantee that all of them are correct." If there is something wrong, I hope that Ms. Celine can correct it. ”

The elf smiled and encouraged her, "You have the most knowledge of the ancient script of all my druid apprentices. You say, I'll tell you if there's a mistake. ”

Well, even the chances of going wrong are just "just in case", what is there to blush about. I think that during Zhao Mai's college years, skipping classes often happened, and he could make a mistake of about 30 points out of 100 points (anyway, it was enough to pass, Zhao Mai added). Isn't this error rate equivalent to a 10,000-point paper with 9,999 points?

Ziyue also came over to join in the fun, but Zhao Mai couldn't tell whether she was here to study or to make trouble, and it wasn't until Teacher Celine pinched her face and dragged her aside that Zhao Mai was finally able to listen carefully to the class.

I read it word by word, but I could hardly understand a few words. From the rules of pronunciation, I can still hear some habits of Chinese, such as the characteristics of intonation and abrupt and four-tone changes. Zhao Mai tried to say a sentence in Chinese, but several others said they didn't understand it at all.

There are several possibilities for this. The characters used in Chinese have been passed down in one line, but in pronunciation, they have been influenced by factors such as regions, customs, and historical changes, forming a state of a hundred flowers blooming. The dialects of various places are basically intelligible to each other, but they are not necessarily understood. Although you know that this is a Chinese language department as soon as you hear it, it is very likely that you don't know what the other person is talking about.

Mandarin was created on the basis of Beijing dialect and softened the characteristics of the northern dialects, and it is certainly very different from the words of the Xiao Seal and Lishu periods. Plus there is also the possibility that the person who brought these words may have his own accent as a dialect......

Time travels, and the realization tree has grown for more than 20,000 years, can such a long time ensure that there will be absolutely no problems with the inheritance? Zhao Mai can't understand the "druid" they speak, and they can't understand their own Chinese, isn't it a good thing?

Then, he picked out the meaning of a few words, and found that it was no different from Chinese, which completely relieved him. Afra also said that the words on the tree of realization are all arranged in a haphazard manner, and they cannot express any meaning. Only by taking the elixir of enlightenment, or with the help of a druid master, can the words be reassembled and an impression formed in the mind. This is what Ziyue said: "Words become as big as heads and fly around in the sky." ”

Everyone's understanding of the words is different, and they are quickly forgotten afterwards, and only a few can remain. What is left behind is called the core of personal understanding, and when it is wrapped by the power of nature, it is called the heart of nature. But they couldn't say where the heart of nature was, so they only told Zhao Mai to "experience it for yourself".

If you want to learn it from scratch, it will take several years to master the Druid language, so no one thinks that Zhao Mai can learn it by listening to the lectures like this. Afra's suggestion to teach is only to be able to reassure herself, and at the same time make a small effort. Zhao Mai remained silent, and he didn't reveal anything about the fact that he could understand these words. This is his hidden advantage, how can it be known to outsiders?

The best laugh is the last laugh.
