578 Literacy
Everything is ready, the east wind is also coming, then a qiē can be carried out, along with a considerable number of scholars and side branch children into Suning's temporary advanced training class to study, teacher resources are complete, these scholars side branch children are dissatisfied with their own obviously did not do anything but suffered from the pond fish victims, and for the main family, for the descendants of the faction is very dissatisfied, Suning is very fond of this sense of alienation from the main family, grasp it, they are the lifelong Datang literacy machine qì.
The more literate people, the higher the country's civilization process, because writing is the beginning of civilization, only literacy can continue to learn a deeper culture, so if you want to make great changes in Datang in a short period of time, literacy is the first priority, and sweeping away all illiteracy in Datang is the most important task of the Datang government at this stage.
Literacy, many things only need to post notices in the imperial court, the people can understand, and it will not be as thankless as in the past, there are more literate people, and the civilization of the whole country and nation can produce leaps and bounds, only if there are enough literate people, can we continue to build a national education system, Li Erma's sentence does not make a person illiterate, and does not make a person ignorant of books is not empty words.
Of course, these children of the side branches of the scholars do not know how to educate those who are illiterate, so that they can change from illiterate to literate, which is not an easy thing, and it is necessary to start from many aspects, for example, to use the advantages of their literacy, so that a group of enlightened teachers who have been trained to carry out literacy work at the grassroots level can teach them. Let them understand how to teach those who are illiterate to read.
At first, Suning felt that using Hanyu Pinyin should be a very good method, after all, people all over China later used this method to read, and Mandarin was popularized, but gradually Suning noticed a lot of problems, the difference between Middle Chinese and modern Chinese was originally very big, aside from the problem of pronunciation, many places are different, not to mention the local dialects that are difficult to understand in the Tang Dynasty.
After Qin Shi Huang unified China, he discovered a rather strict problem, that is, the Seven Heroes of the Warring States had their own scripts. Each has its own language. Each has its own money, every its own culture, every its own weights and measures, every its own code of conduct. So much so that for a long time, Qin Shi Huang had to invite people from all over the world to read the recitals from different places for him. This is a very strict question. That's why Qin Shi Huang has the great initiative of unifying weights and measures, cars on the same track, and books on the same text. This move allowed China to avoid becoming a divided state like Europe, and to maintain the cultural foundation of great unity.
But so that Qin Shi Huang can not unify the pronunciation of the problem, is the problem that has plagued many people for thousands of years, that is, now, in Hunan and other places there are five miles of different sounds, not to speak Mandarin, even the dialect is also very different, people who are used to listening to Mandarin do not understand what the dialect says, it is not a problem that can be solved by the four pronunciations of Hanyu Pinyin at all, modern Chinese has been simplified and simplified, and it is not at all understandable in the Tang Dynasty, and Suning has also adapted to it after a long time.
But the reason why Tang poems and Song words can be produced, is inseparable from these pronunciations, if the forced implementation of Chinese pinyin, so that Chinese characters only four tones, it is estimated that Tang poems and Song words will not be produced, that is a sin, a sin that makes Suning unspeakable, so later Suning found Kong Yingda, asked him to stop the study and transformation of Hanyu Pinyin, said that he did not want to be a sinner, and then analyzed the disadvantages of Hanyu Pinyin in detail, saying that this is just convenient for himself, but harms the cultural inheritance.
Kong Yingda then realized the disadvantages of Chinese pinyin, in fact, he had already noticed it, but because there are indeed many words that can be directly phonetized, it is very convenient, and it is more convenient than the tangent pronunciation of two words, and the premise of literacy is that there is no need to be literate, and it is not so troublesome to teach an illiterate person to read, but Suning himself has put it forward, and Kong Yingda naturally does not want to be that sinner.
But if the tangent pronunciation of two words is used in the whole Tang Dynasty, the children will be forgotten, how can those illiterate adults who are difficult to educate? Their ability to learn is very weak, and they have long passed the most suitable period for studying, and they have been facing the loess for a long time, and if there is no method suitable for them, it is estimated that they will not be able to learn a few words in the end, but it will arouse their confidence and self-motivation that is easy to dampen their confidence, which is very detrimental to the country.
In the end, Kong Yingda sighed: "I thought that papermaking and movable type printing could change the Tang Dynasty, a great change that has never been seen in the ages, but I never thought that a small literacy would make me so embarrassed. The old man underestimates these too much, Su Hou, this matter is not easy, this matter is not easy! If you want to let the people of the Tang Dynasty be able to read and write, how easy is it? ”
Suning is also helpless, the drawbacks and weaknesses of the tangent pronunciation of the two words are too obvious, but it is the only suitable literacy method in this era, as for some other side doors, Suning also has nowhere to know, can only say that the world is too unfair, even this first step is so difficult, there is no pinyin this big weapon, if illiterate adults want to read, it is really difficult.
But then, Suning noticed a rather strict problem, although in ancient times without Hanyu Pinyin, the illiteracy rate remained high, but the sages in order to make more people literate, or on a limited basis to make infinite efforts, so the literacy rate is still rising, no Hanyu Pinyin era, with the passage of time, after the improvement of movable type printing and papermaking, people still think of a lot of methods.
This makes Suning think of the "Three Character Classic", "Hundred Family Names" and "Thousand Character Text", which is known as the three hundred thousand three children's literacy books with heavy dà meaning, the ancients had no way to use musical notes to phonetize Chinese characters, but they can use the catchy three-character sentences and four-character sentences to recite repeatedly, so as to strengthen people's memory of these words, on the basis of remembering the pronunciation, and then recognize and write, generally speaking, in the private school for a year of study, you can also pass the literacy level.
It's just that no dynasty in ancient times could establish a complete national education system. If the education system cannot be established, the literacy rate will naturally not be improved, and the illiteracy rate will remain high, and a large part of the reason is that the education system is not perfect.
If these catchy Mongolian textbooks are distributed to various places, and these teachers can take them to read and teach for a year and a half, it will be almost the same. Mission accomplished. Of course, not only these three hundred thousand three books, not to mention that the "Thousand Character Text" has already been written, Suning plans to bring the Ming Dynasty's "Dragon Wen Whip Shadow" and the Qing Dynasty's "Primary School Rhyme" to the Tang Dynasty in advance, with the three hundred thousand Mongolian textbooks. Become the "Five Classics" for schoolchildren's literacy.
Sure enough. In addition to the "Thousand Character Text" that has been sorted out. "Longwen Whip Shadow", "Primary School Rhyme", "Three Character Classic" and "Hundred Family Names" all made Kong Yingda quite satisfied and shocked, and the few books that Suning had made some changes to obviously exceeded Kong Yingda's psychological expectations, no matter what purpose these books had for literacy. They themselves are some quite popular Mongolian textbooks, with far-reaching meanings and catchy, Kong Yingda shook his head when he got his hands on it, making Suning wonder if the ancient students learned it from him when they read it.
But whether to say it or not, these books were sorted out by Suning and handed over to Kong Yingda, and Kong Yingda integrated this on the basis of Suning, and then sorted out a complete set of five Mongolian textbooks and reported them to Li Erma, Li Ermaxi was overjoyed, and hurriedly recruited Suning into the palace to speak.
Suning is not good to be cheeky and say that this is his own compilation, just say that this is the young master taught him to read and write when he casually compiled some catchy words and sentences, his memory is quite good, so he wrote it down, and when he found that Chinese pinyin is not fully applicable to the current Tang Dynasty, he began to make up his mind to do his best to contribute to the literacy of the Tang Dynasty, so he integrated the wisdom of his predecessors and sorted out these five Mongolian textbooks, hoping to be of some use to the world's reading and literacy.
Not only is it useful, in the era when there is no pinyin phonetic, relying on rhyme and catchiness to read and write, it is the only good prescription, Li Er Majesty was overjoyed, and rewarded Suning with a lot of exquisite ingredients......
When the five textbooks arrived, Li Er Majesty immediately ordered the printing workshop to print these five textbooks immediately, how many copies could be printed, taking advantage of this time, Suning got the side branch disciples of the four major families, and at the same time, Li Er Majesty exerted strong pressure on the remaining three families, forcing them to hand over some of the side branch children who were regarded as abandoned children, this is well known to everyone, so those abandoned side branch children are naturally resentful in their hearts, and they have weakened the power of the three major families while getting the teaching teacher, Kill two birds with one stone.
Kong Yingda set up an enlightenment teacher education school in accordance with Suning's ideas, personally taught them, and explained the essence of the five designated Mongolian textbooks.
As a result, for a long time, whenever there were no students studying in Hongwenguan, there would be reading sounds such as "at the beginning of people, nature is good, sex is similar, and Xi is far away", which is catchy and makes people who pass by can't help but stop.
Three months later, the first batch of 1,000 enlightenment teachers who had completed the training was completed, and Li Ermajesty drew a circle in the Guanzhong area, which is currently the most densely populated and economically prosperous area in the Tang Dynasty, indicating that this is the first batch of areas to build Mongolian schools and start the task of eradicating illiteracy, and there are hundreds of families in each township that can be educated, so each township can cover 1,000 townships by sending an enlightenment teacher.
As long as you are willing to study, you can go to the government to register, and then receive textbooks, the Mengxue church for literacy and reading is free, without charging any fees, as long as you are willing to study, you can sign up for study, and you can manage a meal at noon.
In order to popularize education, Li Erma can be said to have invested a lot of money, because at present, the farmers in Datang are still relatively poor, and teenage children also have to work in the fields, generally speaking, there is little time to study, although parents say that no matter how poor they are, they can't be poor in education, but they are hungry and uncomfortable, how can they talk about learning? So Li Erma was ruthless and used the money obtained from the trade in the north to spend on lunch in the education area, although it was only gruel and steamed buns, but many people were greatly relieved.
Labor is very hard, a few years old children forget it, if it is an adult, if you don't work for a day, the field is not good, although you want to study, but life is more important, so under the trade-off, they will easily give up their literacy and reading, and let their children read wholeheartedly, but Suning hopes that all people can be literate, adults don't go to study, even if they don't read, literacy is still possible, but this labor problem is very troublesome.
Fortunately, Li Erma's great cause of Zhenguan reform spared no expense, and this problem was solved, and the news was distributed to all places, the masses rejoiced, and the education reform plan was launched. (To be continued......)
