"I'm just a wandering idler, I read a few books, and I usually know a few words.

Before I give you a lecture, let me tell you a story.

Everyone doesn't know a person named Cangjie. ”

Everyone was confused when they heard this person, and they had never heard of who this person was.

"Who is this man, have you heard of it?"

"Nope! Who is this person named Cangjie? ”

"I haven't heard of it."

Looking at the confused people below, He Fuzi was not angry and continued to speak.

"Cangjie is a figure in ancient legends, he is an official under the Three Emperors and Five Emperors and the Yellow Emperor. The Yellow Emperor asked him to take care of the food and stuff of the animals. However, at that time, writing was not yet popular, and there was no way to record it, so it was quite troublesome to manage. What do you have to do to record these things? Think about it. ”

The people below lowered their heads and began to think, but they didn't come up after thinking about it for a long time, and their faces were still red.

Finally, someone said, "You can count!" Wouldn't that be nice? ”

The woman next to him pushed him and said, "You didn't hear the master say that writing was not yet popular at that time. ”

The man thought of what He Fuzi had just said, lowered his head and said, "Yes! So what can be done about it? ”

He Fuzi laughed a few times and said: "What this little lady said is right, the text is not popular, and it cannot be recorded. But the son next to you thinks positively and is brave enough to put forward his own opinions, which is a commendable thing for learning. ”

When the man heard his master praise him, he laughed like a fool.

The little lady boldly introduced to the master: "Master, this is my man's name is Ning Zhuzi, and the day he was born happened to be the bamboo growing, so he called it this name." ”

Ning Zhuzi blushed and was embarrassed when she heard her daughter-in-law say her name.

"Haha, good, bamboo is good, bamboo has the quality of rather bending than bending, perseverance."

Listening to the master's praise, Ning Zhuzi touched his head and smiled.

"Okay, let's continue with the story of Cangjie. After thinking about it day and night, Cangjie finally came up with a counting method such as tying knots. One animal ties one knot, five knots, and a thousand knots. ”

When everyone heard that a thousand animals had to tie a thousand knots, their faces were incredible, how long would it take!

"This Cangjie doesn't want to pay attention! If this is an animal to tie a knot, then if I have more animals, then I have to keep tying the knot, and then until long. ”

"That's it, yes, there are so many animals, how does he know which animal he represents with the knot, isn't it still divided, this method is not good."

He Fuzi continued to say vividly: "This brother is right, Cangjie also thought of this matter, so he began to have a headache again, what can I do?"

So one day on his way home, he saw three people arguing there in front of him, so Cangjie went over and asked them why they were arguing.

The three men told Cangjie that they were hunters and were talking about the prey on the three roads, the hunter on the left said that there were deer on the left road, the hunter in the middle said that there was a tiger on the middle road, and the hunter on the right said that there were wild boars on the right road.

Listening to the words of these three people, Cangjie was very curious, why did they know the prey on each road?

After asking the hunters, it turned out that they judged their prey based on the footprints of animals on each road, and Cangjie was inspired by this, so he drew some things to represent things.

Sheep is a way to draw, cattle is a way to draw, the sun, the moon, the mountains, the sea, the trees, the sky, the earth, etc. have their way of drawing, these symbols have been popularized in various tribes, and everyone has begun to use these symbols, which is the origin of the first generation of writing.

Slowly, later people began to evolve oracle bone scripts, golden scripts, seal scripts, official scripts, and regular scripts according to these characters. ”

When the villagers heard Cangjie's story, they all felt that this person was so powerful, it turned out that those who read books recognized words were all invented by him.

"Then I'm going to teach you one word today, which is the mouth we talk about."

He Fuzi took out a pen and paper from his bookcase and wrote a pictogram "kou" on the paper.

He picked up the piece of paper and held it to the side of his face.

"Look at this symbol, doesn't it look like my mouth?"

The villagers all squeezed their heads to go to the front to see the excitement, and riveted forward.

"It's kind of like that! You say yes. ”

"Well, it's kind of like that."

"You say this is a bit like that mouth, but how can there be two little puddles on this mouth!"

"yes, what is this little trolling!"

"Well, don't be foolish yet, can you still have more knowledge than the Master? Just wait for the Master to speak. ”

After the villagers had read it carefully, He Fuzi put down the paper and said: "This oral character is a pictograph, and its oracle bone inscription is like an upward mouth shape, and the upper part has the meaning of speaking, so it is mostly used to refer to pronunciation and speech."

Later, because of the need for words and the use of oral characters, they evolved into the spoken words we learn now. ”

He Fuzi wrote the word "mouth" on the paper again.

"You see, this is the word we learn now."

He Fuzi also talked about the evolution of the word "mouth" from oracle bone inscription to regular script, and the language is easy to understand, suitable for all ages.

"Now everyone read with me."

The villagers didn't know what was wrong, so they read "mouth, mouth, mouth" with Dr. He like an evil spirit. ”

When everyone finished reading, He Fuzi put away the paper and said, "Then please use your hands to compare the words we just learned." ”

The villagers all began to use their hands to gesture with the words they had just learned, which was not a gesture and did not know that they were startled.

"Oops! I can read, oh my mother, I can actually write. ”

"Aunt Niu, not only you, but I can also read and write."

"Oh, my mother, I didn't expect that this old man of mine would have a day of literacy! Oops, that's great. ”

"Yes! Yes! I can also read. ”

"Grandma, I can read too."

"Me too."

The little radish heads in the village have been listening to the story told by He Fuzi, and they are fascinated by it, and they are also gesturing with their own hands, and now almost everyone knows this word.

Looking at the happy appearance of the villagers, He Fuzi took out the paper just now and asked, "Everyone, what is this word?" ”

The villagers looked at the words on the paper and said in unison, "Mouth." ”

"Well, since everyone knows how to read, then we can't just know this word, but also know the meaning of this word, let's think about what other meaning this word has in our lives?"

The big guys all started to hold their heads and think hard.

The first is Ning Zhuzi speaking: "The mouth has the meaning of the mouth." ”

When the villagers heard him, they were not convinced and said, "Who doesn't know what this means!" It's just that you robbed it. ”

Ning Zhuzi's daughter-in-law, Zhu Xiang'er, said proudly: "Whoever made you slow down, you should think about something else." ”

After speaking, he turned his head and coquettishly said to Ning Zhuzi: "Xianggong, you are so powerful." ”
