Chapter 285: Pinyin's Important Future
As the head of the Su family, a half-saint family, he actually went to the study of the younger generation to "steal words", which is not a good reputation. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"The second uncle is stupid! I don't even know pinyin......"
Obviously, this is just an excuse for Su Zhong to cover up his "stealing words", everyone else understands it, but he wants to laugh but he can't bear it because of Su Zhong's face.
But the innocent and pure Su Ru couldn't understand the sound outside the strings, she really thought that Su Zhong felt that these pinyin were not torn by words, so she stepped forward with a smile and said to Su Zhong: "Second uncle, you knot the ten rock sugar gourds that you promised Ru'er last time, and Ru'er will teach you to know whether pinyin is good......"
"Uh...... Ru'er ......"
Su Zhong got down from the sandalwood chair embarrassedly, grabbed a few pages of pinyin characters torn off in his hand, and looked down at Su Ru's innocent and seemingly drooling appearance begging for rock sugar gourd, with a full expression of wanting to cry without tears!
"Hahaha...... Ru'er, don't be embarrassed for the second uncle. As long as you stand aside now and don't speak, my brother dares to promise that the second uncle will buy you a hundred sugar gourds and send them when he goes back......"
Seeing that the second uncle Su Zhong was so deflated, Su Lin really couldn't help laughing, and Dong Zijin also gently covered his small mouth and smiled without showing his teeth. Jia Lao could only sigh helplessly, squinted at the missing half of the calligraphy on the desk, and shook his head.
"That's it...... The second uncle is really embarrassed and thrown home today. But we're all our own people, hehe...... The second uncle just looks at the good handwriting you write, and wants to take some back to learn. ”
Seeing that the "steps" had been ruined by Su Ru's cuteness, Su Zhong had no choice but to be cheeky and take out the pile of Su Lin's calligraphy calligraphy that he had just stolen, and said with a smile, "You shouldn't be so stingy and don't even give this calligraphy to the second uncle, right?"
"The second uncle likes it, so take it all. These are just drafts that I copy and practice on weekdays. However, Second Uncle, what do you think of the pinyin characters on the wall?" said Su Lin with a smile.
"Those characters are called pinyin? Su Lin, could it be that you invented and created them? In the Tianren Continent, there have never been such characters. I just looked at these characters carefully, and I realized that they contained a very mysterious thought, and I tried to understand them but could not get started...... That's why I came up with the idea of tearing them off and taking them home for enlightenment......"
Su Zhong pointed to the pinyin characters on the wall and said, "Su Lin, what is the function of these pinyin characters, and what kind of meaning do they contain?"
"Second uncle! Second uncle...... This Ru'er knows that her brother has taught Ru'er the method of pinyin. Hee-hee, let's let Ru'er teach you...... This and this...... Pinyin has initials and finals, through the combination of initials and finals, plus four tones, you can spell the pronunciation of any word......"
Seeing that the second uncle, who has always been a knowledgeable representative, didn't know pinyin, Su Ru of course became a little gentleman with great interest, and immediately learned what her brother Su Lin taught her, and said, "For example, the word 'soft', my brother uses the initials and finals in pinyin to indicate the pronunciation, and the spelling is 'I am soft' after the end of the day......"
"What? In the world, there is still such a way to study seriously. All the words are unified with pinyin characters to represent the pronunciation, that ...... Doesn't that mean that after Meng Tong learns these dozens of pinyin characters, they don't need to teach Mr. Chuan word by word, and they can recognize all the characters through self-study?"
Su Zhong is the cultivation of the peak of the scholar's literary position, and his understanding is superior, so he can naturally understand it at one point. Just now he was still speculating about what the pinyin characters made by Su Lin were, some guessed that they were used to refine some literary treasures, and some guessed that they were used to condense some thoughts, but he never imagined that the pinyin characters that Su Lin made were actually such an effect, using a combination of initials and finals to express pronunciation, which was simply a genius idea! Moreover, Su Lin really put it into practice.
What does this mean? Although the entire Tianren Continent is guided and encouraged by the Temple, all countries encourage reading and literacy, and ordinary people also have the important task of cultivating their own children to learn ideology and culture.
However, because the cycle of learning literacy is too long and the cost is too great, basically every Mongolian child needs to be taught word by word by hand by the teacher, which can be as short as a year or as long as several years. As a result, the literacy rate of ordinary people in the Tianren Continent is still not high, and the number of Confucian scholars with literary status is naturally not high.
And now, if this pinyin literacy method invented by Su Lin can be popularized. The impact was a game-changer. Once pinyin literacy is implemented in the nine countries of the entire Tianren Continent, within ten years, the literacy rate of the entire Tianren Continent will be at least several times higher.
There are more literate people, more people will naturally read books, more people will naturally learn, and of course there will be more and more thoughtful people. Therefore, there will be more and more Confucian scholars of the Terran race, and the overall strength of the Terran race will probably increase several times. When the time comes, everyone in the human race will have a literary position and be able to read and write poems and lyrics, where is there any need to be afraid of those demons who are born with a distance, why use the Great Wall to protect the entire human race?
"This, this, this...... Su Lin, you are literate in pinyin...... It's so ...... The idea is too big...... I can't imagine what kind of sensation it will cause once it spreads!"
Su Zhong was so excited that he was a little speechless, like Su Ru, Dong Zijin and even Xiang Kaiwu may not be aware of the importance of pinyin, but Su Zhong, as the head of the Su family, is far-sighted, and he can naturally know the decisive role of pinyin at a glance.
"Second uncle, I naturally know this. As long as pinyin is popularized, the literacy rate of the entire human race will naturally rise, and the number of Confucian scholars will also swell several times. However, such a huge project is not something that I can complete right now. ”
Looking at Su Zhong's excited face, Su Lin smiled, calmed him down, and said, "Second uncle, what you see now is only the initials and finals in the pinyin that I have made, and it is only the most basic in pinyin." The most important thing is to mark all the words in pinyin, and then synthesize a dictionary for learning to recognize words, otherwise...... Even if they let Mengtong learn how to pinyin, they won't be able to recognize words by themselves!"
"That's right, hee-hee...... Second uncle, in fact, my brother originally wanted to use this method to help Ru'er read and write. But then Ru'er herself was amazing, and in a few months, she had already recognized most of the words!"
Su Ru nodded and said in agreement, not forgetting to praise herself by the way.
In addition to the method of pinyin, there must also be a dictionary. Each word must be marked with precise pinyin so that Mengtong can learn on his own...... However, now there are three or four thousand commonly used Chinese characters in our Tianren Continent, and the total number of rare characters and those that are not commonly used is more than 80,000 ......."
As soon as he thought of the number of thousands and tens of thousands of Chinese characters, Su Zhong felt like a mountain pressing down, "If you really want to phonetize each of these characters, the project is huge, comparable to the original Cangjie characters! Su Lin, how many words have you spelled out now?"
Su Zhong said that this problem, is also Su Lin has been a headache, although the pinyin holy word is good, theoretically can form any holy word, but it is necessary to understand the idea contained in the holy word, can be combined with the pinyin holy word.
Up to now, there are only a limited number of sacred characters in the Surin combination, such as Ba, Nian, Xin, Zong, Tao, and Qin, and there is not even a fraction of the entire number of Chinese characters. At this rate, I'm afraid that Su Lin will not be able to write a pinyin dictionary until he dies.
"Don't hide it from the second uncle, there are too few Chinese characters that I can spell out now, only six or seven, and I can't write them into a dictionary at all. If you want to write a text in pinyin, you must appreciate the ideological meaning of the text, and you must know ...... The ideas contained in each Chinese character are vast and majestic, and I am only relying on my own strength, how can I comprehend all the ideas of Chinese characters?"
Su Lin shook his head, this task is too difficult, don't mention it.
"Well, from the first glance at this pinyin holy character, I knew it wouldn't be that simple. I'm afraid that this matter will not be able to be achieved until you reach the Great Confucianism or Semi-Saint at the earliest. ”
Hearing this result, Su Zhong's heart was still slightly lost. Because if Su Lin compiled a pinyin dictionary, then he would be able to become the hero of the entire Tianren Continent Human Race, just like Cangjie, who made words in ancient times, and was remembered by the human race for generations. Even with the Su family, they will become the top family in the entire Tianren Continent, for thousands of generations, and enjoy the gratitude and feedback of the descendants of the human race.
To write a dictionary, you need to spell out Chinese characters one by one. Su Lin smiled, then diverted the topic and asked, "Don't talk about this, second uncle, you are coming to me in a hurry now, what is the matter?"
"That's right! I almost forgot about the business, that's the case, Su Lin, above the court in the capital today, there are many courtiers who oppose you entering the country, and even Ran Shitong, Zhao Tian and others slander your unfilial name, but fortunately, there are big brothers and Taishi who are in the same vein to protect you and help you clarify, but in the end, I am afraid that on the way to Beijing, you will still inevitably be troubled...... You see, this is a letter from the eldest brother......"
Su Zhong took out the holy power transmission sent by his eldest brother Su Jin from the capital from his sleeve and unfolded it for Su Lin to see.
"Twenty-four Filial Piety Pictures, the illusion of filial piety transformed by the holy word filial piety?" After Su Lin finished reading it, he stared in surprise.
