Chapter 204: Exaggerated
"With a textbook to unify the voice, this Qin Xian Ao is inevitably too crazy, right?" Chen Qian gasped, his eyes flashing brightly, "But if it is really done, then it will be ...... to this world and to me" Chen Qian continued to look at it.
"The country with writing in this world is not only my Great Song Dynasty, but no matter what kind of writing it is, even if it is in the country of immortals, it is probably not divided into two categories, that is, phonetics and ideographs, and my Great Song Dynasty script is ideograms......"
Chen Qian frowned, he didn't know why Qin Xianao talked about the classification of words, but suddenly his heart jumped, and his eyes fell on the 'phonetic characters'.
"The so-called phonetic scripts are the words used to record the speech in the language. ”
As an official of the Great Song Dynasty and an elite figure among the younger generations in the martial arts world, Chen Qian is well aware of the many shortcomings of today's phonology for the pronunciation of Chinese characters, and it is precisely because he knows these shortcomings that he is excited and very skeptical when he sees Qin Xianao say 'unified speech' in this preface.
I saw it in the book—
"This kind of phonetic script occupies an absolute dominant position in the country of immortals, and it is said that there is such a phonetic script in my Great Song Dynasty. ”
Chen Qian was dumbfounded again, my Great Song Dynasty also has phonetic characters?
"In Lingling, Yongzhou, there is a kind of script that I call 'Nüshu', that is, the phonetic script in my Great Song Dynasty, as for whether there are other phonetic scripts, I don't know......
Chen Qian raised his eyebrows: "Yongzhou, isn't it the place in Liu Zongyuan's "The Snake Catcher Said"? Is there really such a 'female book'?" Chen Qian remembered in his heart and looked down.
"The ideograms of my Great Song Dynasty were originally very good, and they had the advantages that other phonetic scripts did not have, but the phonetic methods used today are too old and out of step with the times, and I summarize their shortcomings as follows:"
The disadvantages of the reverse cutting method are: "
"The reverse cut contains redundant elements. So that the ...... when flattened
"Too many words are available for reverse cutting up and down words, thus making ......"
"There are some narrow rhymes, and I have to occasionally borrow words from other rhymes to cut off the words, resulting in ......"
"Second, if you read the law, its shortcomings are ......"
......
Chen Qian nodded slightly.
"This Qin Xianao's existing phonological shortcomings are right. However, this is good enough, and there is nothing to be done with these shortcomings. "Chen Qian is also a rich man, and naturally knows that in fact, for the pronunciation of Chinese characters, many people in all dynasties have done improvement work, and when it comes to this Great Song Dynasty, it is already very perfect.
"There have been continuous improvements, but now there are so many shortcomings, and others can't change them well. Could it be that you Qin Xianao can?" Chen Qian looked down with a calm face.
"Since there are so many shortcomings in the existing Zhuyin, how can we turn a blind eye?"
"The reason why I can clearly record the phonetics of the text in the realm of immortals is that it is nothing more than the use of ......"
"And the phonetics of my Chinese characters should also learn from these phonetic characters, abandon the existing reading methods and reverse cutting methods, and use a set of symbols to analyze various phonemes......"
Chen Zong's heart jumped, and he switched to a set of symbols to analyze various phonemes?
Soon the preface is finished, followed by the main text.
"According to the precedent in the country of immortals. I designed a scheme called 'Hanyu Pinyin'. ”
"Hanyu Pinyin?"
Chen Qian raised his eyebrows, and saw-
"This set of 'Hanyu Pinyin' is simple and easy. Even the most stupid person can easily learn it in a few days, so not only children can learn, but also adults who cannot read and write, and even use him to write letters to their families......"
"This Qin Xianao is really good at blowing!" Chen Qian snorted, half-believing in his heart.
"However, I speak the language of the Great Song Dynasty. There are too many homophonic and non-semantic characters, so although the phonetic characters are used in other countries, they are not very suitable for my Great Song Dynasty. ”
"So in my opinion, the biggest use of 'Hanyu Pinyin' is to replace the existing phonetic method of writing in my Great Song Dynasty......" Chen Qian quickly finished reading this paragraph and boasted, and then-
"For this set of 'phonemes' of Hanyu Pinyin, I used the alphabet of Shenxian Chinese. I divide them into initials and finals......"
"The initials share bpmfdtn......"
"The finals have a total of aanaoaiang......"
"The pronunciation is ......"
Chen Qian carefully watched and analyzed this set of rules of Chinese pinyin, and after understanding it, he directly used this 'Chinese pinyin' to silently spell out Chinese characters in his heart, and soon his eyes lit up.
"This ...... This word is the most difficult to read, and it is easy to make mistakes with the old phonetic method, but with this ......"
"And this channeling word, I used to make a mistake when I was in my hometown phonetic, it's not my fault, it's ......"
If the method of Chinese pinyin only adopts the 'reverse cut' in the old phonetic method, but because of the use of phonemes and various scientific rules, it seems complicated, but once you are familiar with the use of phonemes, complex spelling becomes extremely simple and easy.
Chen Qian didn't believe it in his heart, but after spelling each word, compared with the old method, the effect could not deceive people.
"Obviously, it's just a normal reverse cut, and some improved adjustments have been made, how did it become ...... This Qin Xianao is a set of Chinese pinyin. Chen Qian was very excited.
Ten miles of different sounds, a hundred miles of different customs.
Chen Qian has really traveled a lot of places, and clearly knows that many places in the Great Song Dynasty have chaotic dialects, inconvenient communication, and often complicated and troublesome governance, many times the officials sent from the capital arrive at a place, they can't play a role at all, and the officials have to rely on the local gentry and officials to govern, almost everything is governed by the local government, if it is against their interests of the imperial court orders, many are yang and yin.
And all this has to do with the difference in accent and the inconvenience of communication, after all, you come to a place where you can't understand anything, even if someone deceives you, you can't investigate clearly.
"It's good, but Qin Xianao still overblows it. Chen Qian squinted and smiled, he could naturally see that although this Chinese pinyin solved many defects of the existing phonetics, it was absolutely unrealistic to say that it could unify the pronunciation, after all, everything must be conditioned and people should do it.
If the local language is too far away from the official dialect, there are not a few homophonic words, and there are no people who know more about the official dialect to teach, all by themselves, then the Chinese pinyin will also be spelled out of tune.
After figuring out the Chinese pinyin, Chen Qian continued to look at the content behind it, and frowned again: "Divide the lessons?" Compared with the "Three Character Classic" and "Disciple Rules", the textbooks of later generations are divided into the content of one lesson and one lesson, and only one lesson is learned at a time, and one lesson is one content. At first, it is a simple study of initials and vowels. After three or four lessons, the first lesson finally appeared with Chinese characters, and the only texts taught in this lesson were:
"Dad, Mommy, me!"
Chen Qiang's eyes widened, and he only learned three words, which is too simple.
And then—
"Earth, rice, horses, rabbits!"
"Little Bunny, Little Bunny Jumps Gently!"
"Puppy puppy run slowly!"
......
Time passed, and after reading this book for a long time, Chen Qian fell into a long silence.
"This Qin Xianao really put his heart into it, not to say that the Chinese pinyin, just to say that the later class, the arrangement of the class, is just ...... Does it need to be arranged that way?"
......
Yichuan Academy, Cheng Yi, Yang Shi, and You Xing were all looking at the textbooks in their hands.
"Unified voice? is it really a toad yawning, what a big breath?"
Cheng Yi also frowned, he was different from others, he had put a lot of effort into studying Zhuyin, a thing that hindered countless readers, but he couldn't find a good way to solve it, so he gave up, and now he saw Qin Xianao actually speaking a unified voice, and his heart was naturally unhappy.
"Qin Xianao has the wisdom of Zhuge , one step and three plans, he may really have a way. Cheng Yi smiled slightly.
"Qin Shi Huang only unified the text, which is already a merit in the present and a benefit in the future. Unifying the phonetics, which is a greater merit than Qin Shi Huang's unification of the script. You Xing said, "Qin Xian is arrogant and compares himself to the Son of Heaven, with this ambition, I can understand it, but ......"
"It's impossible for others, Qin Xian is full ......of tricks, it's hard to say," Yang Shi said with a smile.
"Don't say more, just see, see what he does. Cheng Yi said lightly.
The three of them read the preface quickly, and then read Hanyu Pinyin.
"This 'Hanyu Pinyin' is a phonetic script, which can be learned in a short time, and even used to write letters?" Time passed, and at some point, the three of them all had words in their mouths, and gradually a look of shock appeared in their eyes, and then they all fell silent, quietly reading the content behind the textbook.
I don't know when, Cheng Yi put down his textbook and walked to the window to look outside.
Not long after, Yang Shi and You Xing also put down their textbooks.
"This Qin Xianao is very remarkable. Cheng Yi said in a deep voice, "In miscellaneous studies, it is very good in cheap studies, and this phonology is also ...... , the old man actually can't figure it out. ”
"Teacher ......"
"Shen Kuo, Shen Cunzhong is also miscellaneous, cheap, phonology, astronomy and geography are all refined. Cheng Yi said in a deep voice, "And he and Qin Xianao are both capricious, snakes and rats at both ends, a big rebellion, rebellion, and rebellion, and they are not good morally, but Qin Xianao can make this 'Hanyu Pinyin', make "Principles of Ethics", and "Theory of Tools", but Shen Kuo can't, why?"
"Could it be that as Qin Xianao said, our education method is sometimes too similar to 'test-oriented education', so that our thinking is not free and imaginative, although his phonemic method is only derived from the reverse cut, but the effect is much better. ”
"The effect is good. You Xing said in a deep voice, "But when he said a unified voice, I think it's an exaggeration." ”
"Exaggeration?" Cheng Yi snorted. (To be continued.) )
