Changsun Chong has also read a lot, and during the time he was in contact with Suning, he felt more and more about the gap between himself and Suning, but he thought that these gaps were not very big, but now it seems that such a gap has started since he was born, Suning has followed his master to the north and south since he was born, and he has seen how much truth he has seen, and he has never seen all the things in Shijie outside, all of which are known from other people's mouths or books.

How can such a gap be bridged? The ancients, reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles, is not unreasonable, how to make up for the huge gap with Suning? Changsun Chong felt unprecedented confusion......

The girl in yellow who was hostile to Suning was also stunned, and it was easy to come to her senses, savoring what Suning said, and looking at Suning's eyes became more and more strange......

Kong Yingda is old, reads a lot, and is a descendant of the Kong family, so he has a deeper understanding of these words, every word Suning said is deeply engraved in his mind, he was completely stunned by these words, what kind of peerless master can comprehend such a truth? When I was studying, I didn't feel some doubts, some questions, and I wanted to make some new answers, but as a descendant of Confucius, he has always taken it as his responsibility to maintain the orthodoxy of Confucius, thinking that change is not respecting the ancestors, out of reverence for the ancestors, and did not dare to make disrespectful actions against the ancestors, so he did not make any changes.

But Suning's words made him shake his belief all along, yes, his heart said to him, Suning's words are right, reading is not for the sake of reading itself, but for learning the spirit of the ancestors, and make changes on the basis of what the ancestors have learned, surpassing the ancestors! Only by surpassing one generation can the nation prosper and the country have hope; if we only blindly study the writings of the ancients and believe in the writings of the ancients, how can we make progress? Resting on your laurels, but is it the right thing to do?

Kong Yingda was suddenly awakened, the shackles that had plagued him for many years ceased to exist in an instant, Kong Yingda suddenly felt unprecedented relief, his eyes were clear, the dark clouds were gone, the sun was shining, everything was so fresh and natural, it turned out that this was the case, it turned out that he had always made such a mistake, made such an ignorant and terrible mistake! I have been immersed in the achievements of my ancestors, and I have never thought of continuing the glory of my ancestors and continuing the unfinished business of my ancestors!

Suning suddenly felt that Kong Yingda had some different changes, Kong Yingda's eyebrows seemed to be a little less melancholy, a little more calm, what happened to this old man?

Kong Yingda came back to his senses, his eyes were clear, he looked at Suning, and smiled: "I really didn't expect that the problem that has plagued the old man for many years has been solved by you in one word, although your life experience is unfortunate, but it is also a blessing in misfortune, Master Ling is an immortal master, and the old man is far behind!" I have been studying for 50 years, but I have not realized such a truth, and I finally feel shallow on paper, and I never know that I have to bow to this matter, so that the teacher's knowledge is fascinating!

It's a pity that the Lingshi has already driven the crane to the west, otherwise the old man would have given up all his official positions and worshiped under the Lingshi, even if he was a miscellaneous servant who handed tea and water, he only needed to listen to the teachings of the Lingshi from time to time, and this life was enough! Sanming, what you have learned, compared to the old man's chest to learn to ask, make judgments, the old man can't teach you else, otherwise it will hurt you, what the old man can do is just to consolidate your knowledge and teach you some self-cultivation and pleasure, the rest, the old man is powerless. ”

Kong Yingda sighed deeply, slowly walked back to the podium, and said to more than 40 undecided students: "Today's Sanming's words, you need to keep it in mind, you need to know, you need to know that the paper is shallow, you must not stick to book knowledge, as Sanming said, book knowledge is just knowledge, what you need in the future is real learning, is the truth, knowledge can not become learning without experience."

You also have to know that the purpose of reading is not to deal with the old man, not to deal with your parents, not to deal with bixia, but for you to wait for what you have learned, you are born in a wealthy noble, and you will become a high-ranking official of the Tang Dynasty in the future. ”

Kong Yingda said a great truth, and all the students woke up and bowed deeply to Kong Yingda: "The disciple understands." "Their hearts are also quite uneasy, and today, will be the most memorable day in their hearts.

"Sanming, the old man has nothing to give you, but you haven't read those enlightenment books, can you be literate?" Kong Yingda suddenly thought of a very important question, don't read, don't read enlightenment books, can you be literate? If such an unborn genius is illiterate, it will be a strange story for the ages......

Suning nodded: "Of course you can read." ”

Kong Yingda became interested: "If you don't read, don't read enlightenment books, how do you become literate?" ”

Suning thought about the kindergarten preschool and the first and second grades of primary school, and remembered, Hanyu Pinyin! I haven't used it for many years, Chinese Pinyin, an absolute good helper for literacy! It is also an artifact made of Mandarin, regardless of its original purpose, and now, it has been proven to be a very effective literacy helper.

So Suning said: "It's a word that is known in pinyin." ”

"Pinyin?" Kong Yingda suddenly sparta, how can this kid say anything casually that the old man has never heard? Could this be the knowledge of that grandmaster? Alas! The old man is really a frog at the bottom of the well, speculating in vain about the knowledge of the masters, and sinning! Sin!

Suning nodded: "That's right, pinyin, the master said that it took decades to sort out, he said, what we say is words, can be written, the pronunciation of these words is regular, for example, the pronunciation of some words is very similar, fighting, the big of adults, the developed one, the collocation, in fact, it sounds just a different tone, in fact, it is the same sound."

Shizun seems to have referred to a language in the extreme west, and then used the knowledge of sound and rhythm to pinyin all the words that could be written; So the disciple did not read a book when he was young, but he has seen a lot of words marked out by the master in pinyin, or poems, long and short sentences, and some famous quotes, first memorized the pronunciation of those words, and then gradually removed the pinyin, zuihou, all the pinyin removal, get rid of the auxiliary of pinyin, the disciple is completely literate, as long as there is pinyin, even if you don't know the word, you will read. ”

Kong Yingda's eyes widened, and more than forty boys and girls were also extremely shocked, there were too many stimuli in this day, and their brains were a little difficult to accept; Kong Yingda had also seen the world, so he quickly regained his senses and asked, "The language of the Far West?" And the rhythm? ”

For a long time in ancient times, probably from the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Chinese literacy and reading used the two-character tangent reading method, the so-called two-character tangent, is to use two words to spell the pronunciation of another word, the upper word takes its initials, the lower word takes its vowels and tones, such as "red, Hu cage cut", that is, the initial h of "Hu" and the finals and tones of "cage" óng are spelled into hóng, which is the pronunciation of "red", but the pronunciation of this literacy method is inaccurate, the popularity rate is low, the efficiency is very low, the premise of literacy is literacy, It is not suitable for full promotion, and the straight sound method used before is even more inappropriate.

The earliest appearance of pinyin is still at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the beginning of pinyin is also created by foreigners in order to facilitate communication with China, as for the Chinese pinyin at the beginning of the purpose of abolishing Chinese characters, this is the late Qing Dynasty during the period of national danger some intellectuals who are too anxious to put forward the idea, they believe that Chinese characters are independent of shijie language, which is the reason for China's backwardness, Lu Xun is even more claimed: "Chinese characters do not perish, China will die!" A large number of intellectuals believed that this was right, and began to create new Chinese characters similar to the Romanized Latin script in the West.

But how can China's 5,000-year-old tradition be wiped out? Chinese characters are independent of shijie, can't Huaxia still be able to create shijie miracles for a long period of time and stand at the top of shijie? What does China's demise have to do with Chinese characters? Suning didn't understand, and the old man even rebuked those intellectuals who tried to abolish Chinese characters as "forgetting their ancestors"; But in a sense, this is the movement of the Chinese hoping to catch up with the shijie trend, so it did not stop, but continued to develop, after the founding of the country, the country began to prepare for new Chinese characters more intensively, and Hanyu Pinyin came into being, but soon, people found that Chinese characters could not be replaced for the Chinese; After the reform and opening up, the abolition of the Chinese character jihua was abandoned, and Hanyu Pinyin was widely praised as a widely promoted literacy aid system.

Suning said: "Yes! Shizun seems to have said that the reason why Shizun wanted to create pinyin at the beginning was to take into account the suffering of people in different places and the difficulty of literacy; Teacher, you think, our Datang is so big, right? The accents and ways of speaking between Jiangnan and Jiangbei are very different, and the communication between a Jiangnan person and a Jiangbei person seems to be very difficult.

Jiangnan Jiangbei accent also includes our Guanzhong dialect, Shuzhong dialect, Shandong dialect, Hebei dialect, the accent near the Turkic is even a bit like Turkic dialect, often people in one region to another area, can not find a person who can communicate smoothly, can speak, all literate, can write, but say to each other but can not understand, this is not the same as the deaf? This has also seriously affected the communication between regions.

Therefore, the master thought, can we create a common accent in the world, different from the dialect of any place, because the use of the dialect of any place to do the common accent of the world is disrespectful to other places, and it is easy to cause local disputes, the master's idea is that there is no need to abolish the local accent, and the villagers can still speak their own native accent with each other, but people in different regions communicate with each other with this kind of common accent in the world, so that they can communicate smoothly without affecting the importance of the local accent.

Although the current Datang uses the Guanzhong accent as the official dialect, the disciples think that this is inevitably a kind of disrespect for the people of other places, so it seems that our Guanzhong people are too domineering, which is not conducive to the unity of the whole country of Datang, especially in the border areas, the situation is complicated, and the Han and Hu live together, it is even more complicated, and there is an accent that can be understood by the whole Datang, that is the best. ”

PS: The official official language of the Tang Dynasty is called Jinling Luoxiayin, which seems to be closer to today's Hokkien Hakka, what is the pronunciation, I really don't know much about it, so I hereby annotate, the plot needs, with Guanzhong dialect as the official accent of Datang~
