Chapter 205: The Tao is in the Mean

You Xing looked at Cheng Yi suspiciously: "Teacher, don't you think that this alone can really unify the voice?"

"Don't underestimate Qin Xianao. Cheng Yi said in a deep voice, "Think about it, just with our existing phonetics, we can make people from all over the world communicate, although there are accents, but most of the pronunciation is still similar." ”

"But isn't there still a ten-mile different sound in the world?"

"That's because there are only so many real readers, especially those who understand phonology, and there are even fewer of these readers who have really been out of their hometowns and in the capital. Cheng Yi's voice was faint, "Do you remember what Qin Xianao said in the previous issues of the newspaper? He wants to engage in vernacular instead of literary language, to replace traditional Chinese with simplified characters, and to implement semi-compulsory education.

"The real difficulty of unifying the pronunciation lies in the education, or the number of readers. Cheng Yi said in a deep voice, "Don't forget why Qin Xianao said in this book, saying that Hanyu Pinyin is a set of characters that can be used instead of Chinese characters, and he is trying to make the people of the world use and learn Hanyu Pinyin." ”

"Think about it again, how easy it is to learn this Hanyu Pinyin, if you just learn this Hanyu Pinyin, even a stupid donkey can easily learn it, once all kinds of books and texts are also marked with Hanyu Pinyin and Chinese characters at the same time, what will happen?" Cheng Yi said.

You Xing trembled and looked at Cheng Yi with wide eyes.

If this is the case, I am afraid that people who have not studied Chinese characters seriously will be able to break away from Hanyu Pinyin and understand Chinese characters after a long time. ”

"You finally get it. Cheng Yi's voice was indescribably weird, "Qin Xianao repeatedly said in the text that there are two kinds of writing in this world, one is ideograms, that is, our Chinese characters, and the other is phonetic characters. And most of the world, even eighty percent of the countries in the Immortal Kingdom, use phonetic script, what does this mean?"

"This is blatantly bewitching people to learn Hanyu Pinyin. ”

"You don't need to learn Chinese characters, but you have to learn Hanyu Pinyin, and if you learn Hanyu Pinyin, you can let him use it as a text. Come and communicate with people and write letters to discuss academic issues. ”

"It's very easy to learn Chinese pinyin, it doesn't take much time, it takes a very small amount of time to read and write, even write letters, read words, read newspapers, you think about it, people who don't even want to spend this little time. How stupid will it be? It can be said that this 'Hanyu Pinyin', Qin Xianao is not so much a unified pronunciation, but rather a realization of his ideal dream of 'literacy for all' and compulsory education for all. ”

Cheng Yi said that this voice was very emotional: "Once everyone can spell Hanyu Pinyin, even if there are local accents in various places, they are generally converging, as long as there is enough time, the pronunciation of the entire Great Song Dynasty can definitely be realized." ”

"This ......"

You Xing was dumbfounded. "This Qin Immortal is too arrogant to ......"

"It's normal for Qin Xianao to be like this. Cheng Yi said in a deep voice.

"Everyone has a Taiji, and Wang Anshi has his Taiji. His ideal world, Qin Xianao also has his ideals, Qin Xianao's ideal is the Immortal Kingdom, and Wang Anshi's ideal is his transformation and his new learning. And the Tai Chi in our hearts is Luo Xue, Confucianism and Taoism, so I and Sima Guang and others oppose changes that go against the way of sages and sages, because this will lead to chaos and uncontrollable, and will destroy the harmony, peace, stability, and peace that Confucianism is easy to govern. ”

"Wang Anshi's Tai Chi is not satisfactory. So he failed, and the world was in a miasma. ”

"Although Confucian Tai Chi is not perfect, it is more complete than Wang Anshi and any school in the world, and it is the best so far. ”

"Qin Xianao threw out the "Three Character Classic" and "Disciple Rules" this time I thought that his prodigal son turned around and woke up, but after reading this book, I realized that the country is easy to change, and the nature is difficult to change, Qin Xianao still has his set in his bones, and the "Three Character Classic" and "Disciple Rules" are just because of the great power of my Confucian alliance, so I won it over. ”

"Because what he wants to do is to overthrow Confucianism, he looks down on my Confucian scholars, farmers, and businessmen, and he can't punish scholars and doctors, and he can't pay tribute to the common people, the three outlines and the five constants, and so on. Since your Confucianists say that 'scholars' are the most noble, then I let everyone in the whole world read and write, and everyone is 'scholars', how can you still divide them into grades? But if you have all studied, you can't stop farming, don't be craftsmen, and don't do business, right?"

"But if you have studied and learned profoundly, and you have to farm, do business, and work, how should you count your rank?"

"The monarch has the highest status, and the officials are the second-highest, so good, I will come to a people's rule, the laws of the country are formulated by the people chosen by the people, and the officials are also selected by the people, and you are still proud?"

Qin Xianao's series of behaviors are all for one purpose, to defeat and destroy the foundation of Confucian ethics, and even to trample Sage Kong on the ground, so he made up "Travels to the Immortal Country", advocating that all people are created equal, and everyone enjoys the same rights before the law. ”

"I said that Qin Xian was arrogant and terrifying. ”

"I said that Qin Xianao is the devil, because he not only looks down on me as a Confucian, but also looks down on Taoism. ”

"This time he threw out the "Ancient and Modern Sages", I also wondered why I patted the Taoist sycophants, read this book to know, he is also to calm the anger of the Taoist Alliance, because, his vernacular text, Chinese pinyin and a series of actions, its purpose is to establish a world where transportation and communication are very convenient, the end of the world is close at hand, such as the fairy country, which is completely contrary to the ideal world advocated by Taoism of "small countries and widows, chickens and dogs do not get along". ”

"Anti-Confucianism, anti-Taoism, it was originally difficult to succeed, but he bewitched the public, and threw out this kind of newspaper to bewitch countless foolish people and foolish women, especially "Travels to the Immortal Country", which depicted a huge and beautiful cake for the common people in the world. ”

"Because of this painting, fools and fools will support him. ”

"We can stop Wang Anshi's actions, but Qin Xianao has learned from the experience of Wang Anshi's failure, and created this kind of general trend of gods blocking and killing gods, and Buddhas blocking and killing Buddhas, who can stop it?"

"So I said he was terrible, he was terrible. Cheng Yi let out a long sigh, his back gloomy.

Yang Shi and You Xing's faces were ugly, Confucianism would really be destroyed? Taoism would also be difficult to preserve, and Qin Xianao's demonic path would be rampant?

"Teacher, Wang Anshi was also in full swing back then, and he wasn't ......" You Xing said unconvinced, "This Qin Xian Ao is rampant now." I don't believe ......."

"Maybe it can be stopped, but the current Qin Xianao is the most vigorous, like the noon sun, brilliant and unstoppable. Cheng Yi said in a deep voice, "When there were three emperors and five emperors. The Yellow River flooded, Kun to water to block the method of water control, did not succeed, Yu in the way of channeling, but successful, today we deal with Qin Xianao, if the blockage is not good, maybe you can use the way of 'according to the situation'. ”

"Situationally?" You Xing frowned.

......

Bianliang City.

Sima Guang and Sima Kang were also reading the newly bought books in their hands in the study.

"If Qin Xianao really unifies his voice, it will be a contemporary. It's a good thing for a thousand years. Sima Kang looked up and smiled.

Sima Guang frowned slightly: "Look, Qin Xianao rarely lets out empty words, although the words of unified voice are crazy, but there will be some genuine goods." ”

The two of them buried their heads in looking, and when they saw the explanation of finals and initials, they began to read silently, and after a little familiarity with the spelling of Chinese pinyin, they read it word by word. Time passed, and both of them had shocked looks on their faces. Long.

"Father, it's hard to imagine that only 43 'phonemes' from our existing 'reverse cut' method can have such a good effect, this ......," Sima Kang praised, "From this point of view. You only need to master the pronunciation of 43 'phonemes' to be able to master the standard pronunciation of Chinese characters, and master 43 phonemes ......"

Sima Kang's face was flushed, and people's language learning ability was very outstanding and conditional. Don't say 43 tones, even 4,000 or 40,000 tones can be learned.

"Even if a child wants to master these, it will be able to do it in a few hours or a few days, and the time that Qin Xianao has arranged for schoolchildren to learn this Chinese pinyin will be at least a year......" Sima Kang said with a smile, "Qin Xianao is smart, but here is a hundred and eight thousand miles wrong. ”

"Qin Xianao doesn't know that he can master Hanyu Pinyin in a day or two. Sima Guang said lightly.

Sima Kang was stunned.

"Kang'er, you have to remember that pie will not fall from the sky, the way of learning, without it, only diligence and understanding, and diligence is particularly important. When my father was young, he was the stupidest student among all my childhood friends, why did my father have his current achievements, but those people were not human? Sima Guang said with emotion, others have heard the story of Sima Guang smashing the cylinder, thinking that he Sima Guang has been smart since he was a child, but in fact, he Sima Guang was the most stupid when he was young.

"Remember, child. Sima Kang said respectfully.

"Qin Xianao arranges the school time, so that this Chinese pinyin can penetrate into the bones and souls of every enlightened child. Sima Guang shook his head and sighed when he said this, "Qin Xianao has even noticed such details, such a person is terrifying......"

"It's terrible, but this time he did a great thing in Hanyu Pinyin. Sima Kang said with a smile.

"A good thing?" Sima Guang shook his head slightly.

"What?" Sima Kang looked at Sima Guang suspiciously.

"Although Confucianism is not in the eyes of Qin Xianao, the words in it are all subtle words. Sima Guang said in a low voice, "Zi said: 'It's too much', Qin Xianao is such a talented person, and even his ability has exceeded what I can imagine in many aspects, but where is his mistake? ”

"It's too great and wrong?" Sima Kang's heart was heavy, and he naturally understood what Sima Guang meant.

"If he Qin Xianao just threw out this Chinese pinyin, I, Sima Guang, raised his hands in approval, but he didn't just throw out this Chinese pinyin, but also threw out the vernacular, simplified characters, various teaching programs, newspapers, and all kinds of academic theories that contradict Confucianism...... What will this cause?"

"When the northerners first arrived in the south, they would not be accustomed to the water and soil, Cao Cao's 800,000 army was defeated in Chibi, the real history, not the fault of the war, but the water and soil, and countless people fell ill and died. ”

"The series of actions that Qin Xianao is implementing now are like a drop of ink thrown into my cup of clear water, the changes are too big, so big that I Sima Guang can't control it, and he Qin Xianao will never be able to control it. ”

"The unity of phonetics, the merit is in the contemporary, and the benefit is in the future, this may be true, but when Qin Shi Huang unified the text, it was not the merit in the contemporary, but the benefit in the Qianqiu?

"Kang'er, you are familiar with history, you should know that the merit is too great, and the change in the whole world is too great, which will inevitably cause the whole situation to get out of control, and even collapse, just like the newspaper this time, the result is to make the overthrow of the emperor and the people's movement, once the world is out of control, it will be the people of Li who will suffer. Sima Guang said in a deep voice.

"So, should we oppose this Hanyu Pinyin and prevent its implementation?"

"Stop?" Sima Guang shook his head, "Qin Xianao has already let this world get out of control, we, who play chess, have become chess pieces on the chessboard, the chaos in the world caused by Wang Anshi can still be pulled out of chaos, Qin Xianao has done not much...... Sima Guang's face was full of loneliness.

"Father......" Sima Kang looked at the lonely Sima Guang, and his heart trembled slightly.

"Go, please Azhu, Abi come and ......"

"Father is doing his best, obeying the destiny of heaven, and opposing this?" Sima Kang perked up.

"No, I'm going to praise!"
