Xingzhen originally only called Yi Concubine to help, but this Chuxiu Palace is now the queen's bedroom, the concubines of the six palaces come and go, and they have to come to the court every day, first Yun Concubine saw what the two of them were muttering in private, so she couldn't help but probe her brain, Chun Chang is because she is the daughter of a slave, the new palace concubine, and she wants to please the queen, so she came to help every day, and the palace knows that the queen is determined to do a big thing, who dares not to flatter? Even Concubine Li, Wan Chang and Concubine Zhen came to the Fengguang Room to help every day.
In the end, Emperor Xianfeng was naturally alarmed, and on this day, he ordered Yang Qingxi to come quietly to the Fengguang Outdoor of Chuxiu Palace, only to hear Wan Chang in the room saying: "Sister Yifei, this word 'sea' is next to 'Sanshui'?" β
"Exactly, the sea character is next to the 'three waters', according to the initial rhyme set by the queen's mother, the sea character is the sound of 'drink', the rhyme of 'love', drink love - the sea, the third tone."
"Sister Yi Concubine is really a family origin, and the palace is still a second monk, so I can't figure it out." This is the voice of Concubine Li.
"Sister Concubine Li made fun of it," Yi Concubine replied, "It's still the Queen's Sacred Heart that has come up with such a good way!" β
"Sister Yi Concubine praised it falsely."
The emperor was confused when he heard this, and wanted to go in and ask what was going on, Yang Qingxi saw the emperor's expression, so he hurriedly shouted: "The emperor has arrived!" β
Emperor Xianfeng walked into the inner room, the palace concubines all over the ground knelt down to say goodbye, and Xingzhen took the booklet in her hand and bowed slightly, Emperor Xianfeng opened her mouth to let everyone get up, and the women got up, Xingzhen gave up the main seat, and said with a smile: "Why is the emperor here." β
"I heard that the queen is doing something big, and on a whim, come over to see what big things you do." The emperor sat down, looked around, and then looked at Xingzhen and said.
The concubines of the six palaces didn't speak, they only looked at the queen, Xingzhen served tea to the emperor, and said with a smile: "Originally, I wanted to do this thing and surprise the emperor, but now that the emperor knows, the concubines will show you, and now the shelf is erected." After Xingzhen finished speaking, she picked up a book on the table and handed it to Emperor Xianfeng, "Your Majesty, please see that this is a dictionary compiled by the concubines and sisters." β
"Dictionary?" The emperor put down the tea in his hand, took the thick booklet, opened it and looked at it, only to see a few big characters written in a column: Pinyin search table. The second column after the head drew a crooked symbol, Emperor Xianfeng did not know the symbol, and saw the symbol after the head wrote: Ah, ah, short, love, hey, An, I and so on a column of words, there is a number after each word, so more than 20 letters, there is a "radical check list", written "one, δΈ¨, door" and other radicals, Emperor Xianfeng recognized this is a stroke, and heard Xingzhen said before the "dictionary", faintly seemed to know something, put down the book in his hand, looked at Xingzhen and said: "Queen, This is your dictionary? It seems that there is a pattern in it," the emperor saw that Xingzhen was still pursing her lips and smiling silently, and became a little angry, "I still don't tell me the truth." β
"Yes, Your Majesty,"
The idea of compiling a dictionary came from the fact that after he was canonized as the queen, he thought about how to educate his son well so that he could rule the world in the future, so he thought of the "Xinhua Dictionary" where almost every student was a copy in the future.
The first edition of the Xinhua Dictionary was compiled in 1953, and the founders of the new world regarded the compilation of this "small dictionary" as an important part of the new cultural undertaking, which had to shoulder the responsibility of standardizing modern Chinese and the task of eradicating illiteracy. The Xinhua Dictionary is the first dictionary to use vernacular definitions and examples in the vernacular. It consolidated the achievements of the Chinese Movement, which aimed to promote the spoken language of the Han people, and the Vernacular Movement, which aimed to promote the replacement of classical Chinese with the vernacular language that expressed the spoken language, and established it, promoted and carried forward it in the form of a dictionary. Xinhua Dictionary is the first dictionary in China with the purpose of lexical standardization and application. "The main purpose of the compilation is to enable readers to use this dictionary to have a correct understanding of the vocabulary of the ancestral Chinese language, and to know the modern and standardized use of the vocabulary, which can be used correctly in writing and orally."
Therefore, Xingzhen relied on the memories of later generations to silently write out the initials and finals table, and successfully brainwashed all the concubines and palace maids in the palace, and successfully promoted pinyin to Chuxiu Palace, and selected more than 9,000 words commonly used in the Kangxi dictionary by Yi Concubine, and then mobilized everyone to classify them one by one, and listed the words one by one according to pinyin, and then according to the number of radical strokes, but if you want to compile a dictionary, this is only the first step. The next step is to rearrange the Chinese characters that were originally classified according to the five tones and two hundred and six rhymes according to the phonetic order...... Otherwise, it is not enough to reflect the advantages of pinyin phonetic method. After completing this step, you will have to make a radical checklist so that you can assemble a usable dictionary. Before doing it, Xingzhen knew that this matter was complicated, but when he started to do it, he found that he still greatly underestimated the difficulty of the work. It is really difficult to put in the effort and time required to rearrange more than 9,000 Chinese characters in a phonetic order, and then to mark them with radicals. That's why the people of the six palaces were mobilized to compile a dictionary together, and the framework was only completed in the last few days.
Emperor Xianfeng nodded, "This is an excellent thing, but why do you want to make such a vowel, this doesn't seem to be of much use, Empress." β
"Your Majesty, don't underestimate this vowel, if this flow spreads, but no master in a private school can compare to this." Xingzhen looked at the emperor with a look of disbelief, so she beckoned Xiao Anzi to come to her and said to Xiao Anzi: "Can you know all the initials and finals that this palace taught you?" β
"I've learned everything."
Xingzhen said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, please write a word, don't be too common, Xiao Anzi will definitely know what this word reads." β
The emperor thought for a while, picked up his pen and wrote down the word "frequency", and then said to Xiao Anzi with a smile: "If you can tell what this character reads, I will be rewarded." β
Xiao Anzi looked at the word, gestured with his hand and wrote a few times in mid-air, then lowered his head and opened the dictionary, and after about half a minute, Xiao Anzi raised his head and said: "Your Majesty, this word reads splash-silver-frequency!" β
The emperor was slightly surprised, and wrote a few words in succession, and Xiao Anzi wrote them out one by one, so he was sure that Xiao Anzi was not crooked, and said to Xingzhen in surprise: "This dictionary is really for enlightenment!" β
"Exactly, as long as the concubine prepares the vowel rhyme cousin by heart, if you see the words you don't know, you can check it yourself, I will no longer have a place where you don't know how to educate, and the concubine congratulates the emperor!" Xingzhen leaned over and saluted to congratulate Emperor Xianfeng.
"Not bad," Emperor Xianfeng clapped his hands again and again, overjoyed, "If this is the case, there must be fewer and fewer illiterate people in the countryside, and if you know more words, you will naturally be able to obey the king, and the more people will go to school to take the imperial examination, and the more people will naturally not rebel!" It's hard for the queen that you can come up with this magical vowel! I don't know how to thank you! "Any emperor can't be calm about Wenzhi's martial arts, and now although he doesn't know where to get this martial arts, he can get it all at once when he puts it in front of him, educates the world, and makes everyone know how to be reasonable, and this merit is enough to surpass many emperors!
"Why does the emperor thank the concubine, now this dictionary has a shelf, Sister Yi Concubine helped the concubine sort out this common word, the concubine wants to edit these commonly used words out of the meaning, so that the people who use this dictionary will not only know how to read the word, but also know what the word means, this is a successful achievement!"
"Okay, good, I want to reward you! Lan'er," Emperor Xianfeng was happy, and spat out Xingzhen's nickname, "If you say what you want, I don't refuse to allow it!" β
"Since the emperor is so gracious, the concubine said it directly." Xingzhen suppressed her smile, bowed to worship, and the women behind her also knelt down together, Xingzhen raised her face, "Please follow the example of the Kangxi dictionary and name the dictionary compiled by the women of the six palaces as the "Xianfeng Dictionary", in order to show the virtue of the Heavenly Dynasty!" β
"Xianfeng Dictionary"! Emperor Xianfeng laughed, proudly picked up Xingzhen, and looked at the queen's eyes with indescribable tenderness and appreciation, "The queen is willing to think about me, how can I refuse." Anything else? β
"The concubines, please include the sisters involved in the six palaces in the list of compilers, and the edict will be distributed to the world, so that everyone in the world will know that this "Xianfeng Dictionary" is compiled by the Son of Heaven's benevolence and virtue, and the virtuous concubines are compiled, and the sisters will be famous in history and will be famous for centuries!"
The emperor has been gone for a while, the people in the room are still silent, Concubine Zhen and Concubine Li and others are moved to look at Xingzhen tears inexplicably, this is more glorious than any title, left in the book that tens of millions of people have seen, explaining their efforts and sweat, even the Wen Concubine Yi, who had just been re-given the title "Wen" by the emperor, didn't care about the title, everyone was surprised by this explosive news for a while, in addition, the heart was more about the queen's heart to be sincere and convinced. Many years later, countless people took this "Xianfeng Dictionary" and taught the children at home who did not want to read: "This is the dictionary compiled by the ladies in the palace of Xianfeng Ye * for your enlightenment!" If you don't study hard, how can you be worthy of the ladies in the Fengde Palace! β
"Who said that women are inferior to men, sisters, the emperor just said, when the dictionary is completed, the world will be published, and the six palaces will be sealed, let's let the people outside take a look, we are not the masters who will spend money and only care about eating and drinking!" Xingzhen waved the dictionary in her hand and shouted at the women.
"Yes!"
On the ninth day of the sixth month of the fourth year of Xianfeng, it was the emperor's longevity festival, and on the same day, the Xianfeng Emperor issued an edict to publish the "Xianfeng Dictionary" to the whole country, and personally made a preface to explain the beginning and end of the compilation of this dictionary. In addition to the county schools in various places are directly distributed, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is also on sale to the outside world, each price is fifty Wen, people who buy the dictionary are surprised to find that in addition to the emperor's preface, the final compiler is not the editor of the Hanlin Academy, nor is it the bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion, but it is written: Queen Chuxiu Palace, Concubine Wen of Jingyang Palace, Concubine Zhen of Zhongcui Palace, Concubine Li of Yonghe Palace..... and other words, this dictionary is compiled by the emperor's concubines in **.
Xingzhen distributed the dictionary to the eunuchs and palace maids in the six palaces one by one, "You have learned this method of pinyin, and when you leave the palace in the future, you can also have one more livelihood, as a pinyin teacher, the eunuchs teach children in the countryside, which is both decent and comfortable; It is even more advantageous for the palace maid to marry after going out, so you must learn it first! "This is Xingzhen's kindness, Emperor Xianfeng naturally has no reason not to agree, the unprecedented inner palace study began, the first to learn the concubine (after the dictionary was successfully published in the world, promoted to the concubine) Anqian Fan'er and Xiao Anzi were sent out to teach pinyin, sure enough, Xingzhen material, several eunuchs and palace maids who were released out of the palace by teaching pinyin, all their lives have been very graceful and generous. In the future, when many gray-haired old people trembled and went to the tomb of Emperor Xianfeng's ** concubine to worship, they did not cry, but recited the pinyin taught to them by Xingzhen and others affectionately.
PS: "Kangxi Dictionary" is a far-reaching Chinese character dictionary compiled by more than 30 famous scholars such as Zhang Yushu and Chen Tingjing by the holy decree of the fourth emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty.
