Su Xue didn't go down to the cliff this time, so he used a stone cave next to the stone crack as the opening and closing place of the space-time gate. Anyway, Rusya can't get out of bed, so she doesn't have to worry about being seen by her.

The information revealed in the more than 4 hours of communication just now has given Su Xue some preliminary understanding of this world.

Indeed, as he expected, there is indeed a country established by the Han people in this world, the name of the country is [Han Empire], and the royal family is the Liu family. This Han Empire is located in the southwest of this continent, and it has been allied with the Elven Empire for many years, and the exchanges between the two countries are very close. In the elven society, as long as the family conditions are slightly better, they will learn Chinese, as well as the history of the Han Empire, social customs, and so on.

From the analysis of the situation said by the elf girl, this Han country should have been established by a group of ancient participants, but it is impossible to confirm the specific time period. After all, people are not professional historians, where do they know so much?

However, from the information obtained, it can be roughly determined that the era that these Han people traveled through should be after the Eastern Han Dynasty and before the Northern and Southern Dynasties. Because regular script first appeared in the Eastern Han Dynasty. And according to the elf girl, this Han empire has been established for more than 1,500 years. Well, by the way, Su Ze has already tested the rotation and revolution period of this world, which is almost the same as that of the earth. So this 1500 years is completely directly regarded as a unit of the earth.

In this way, it is the period from the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

Now Su Ze thinks that since the other party's Chinese ability is very strong, then he can consider trying the language exchange between the two sides.

..........................................................................................

Ruthia...... Dew...... Silk...... Ya ......" The elf girl looked at the words pointed by Su Ze, slowed down her speech, and said word by word.

"Oh, it turns out that the pronunciation of the words [Lu Sexia] is [Rusya], and the pronunciation is so bad......" Su Ze nodded thoughtfully, and then used the International Phonetic Alphabet to mark the pronunciation of those three words.

The reason why Su Ze does not use modern Chinese pinyin is because the scope of application of modern Chinese pinyin is very narrow, and it is only suitable for marking the pronunciation of "Mandarin", which is the modern official phonetic. Nowadays, the pronunciation used by Rusya cannot be accurately marked with Hanyu Pinyin, only the wider International Phonetic Alphabet.

The two of them were like this, Su Ze wrote a sentence, Rusya read a sentence, and began to learn the Chinese of this world.

Out of gratitude, Rusya taught very seriously, and Su Xue also studied very seriously in order to understand the world better. In order to prevent inaccurate labeling, he also brought a tape recorder and recorded all the Chinese spoken by Rusya.

During this period, Su Ze also learned about some customs here. For example, the name of this elf, according to the custom here, the name is transliterated, and the surname is transliterated.

This is because the elves' surnames are very long, and because they are in ancient elven language, the pronunciation is quite strange, with complex trills and glissandos, which cannot be described at all in Chinese characters, so they have to be paraphrased. Their names are in the modern Elf language, and the pronunciation is relatively simplified, and they can basically find similar or identical pronunciation words from Chinese, so they use transliteration.

Of course, the Chinese language mentioned here only refers to the Chinese pronunciation of this world. If you use Mandarin, it is still difficult to find the right syllables.

What surprised Su Ze even more was the name of the local Han people for the elf race. They called the elves "mountain ghosts".

That's right, it's "Mountain Ghost"!! Rusya wrote these two words clearly in the notebook.

According to Ruthia, the title came after the first contact between the two parties more than 1,000 years ago. Later, when the two sides became closer, the elves also inquired about the meaning of the name, which, according to the Han interpretation, was a reference to an ancient poem of the same name.

Because the poem is too long and complicated, Rusya doesn't remember the specific content very clearly. However, according to her, the elves were quite happy with the name. In their exchanges with the Han Empire, many of them called themselves "mountain ghosts".

....................................................................................

Ancient poems of the same name?

Damn, isn't this "Chu Ci, Nine Songs, Mountain Ghosts"? Su Xue was thundered at that time.

"If someone is in the mountains, he will be taken by Xue Lixi. is both embarrassed and smiling, Zi Muyu is good at smiling. Take the red leopard from the civet dog, and the Xinyi car is tied to the laurel flag. was taken by Shi Lanxi to Du Heng, and he thought about it......"

Su Ze immediately wrote down the first few sentences in "Mountain Ghost", and he couldn't remember the rest for a while.

However, this is enough.

Rusya's eyes widened and she nodded repeatedly, indicating that it was this poem. Moreover, according to the words in the book, I recited it in local Chinese.

After careful distinction, Su Ze found that this kind of otherworldly Chinese should be an ancient Chinese, because its pronunciation has extremely obvious "in-sound" and "de-sound", as well as "sharp sound" and "group sound".

These characteristics are not present in the standard Chinese language used on the modern earth and created on the basis of the Beijing dialect, "Mandarin".

However, it is similar to the dialects of some southern regions, such as Cantonese, Hokkien, Hakka, Wu and so on.

When he asked Rusya about the official name of the language, Rusya's answer was "Yayan"!

"Yayan" is the official standard language of ancient China, and in modern parlance, it is "Mandarin".

However, each dynasty has its own "Yayan", and the pronunciation is different. With Su Ze's poor linguistic knowledge, it is impossible to judge which era this is the "Yayan".

Of course, this is not a problem, Su Ze is not a linguist, as long as he learns to listen and speak. As for studying its origin, evolution or something, that was an expert's business, and Su Xue was not interested in it at all.

Although the pronunciation of this Chinese and Mandarin is very different, no matter how you say it, it is also a kind of Chinese. No matter how its pronunciation changes, there are always many similarities. As long as you take it seriously, it is still much easier than learning a foreign language.

In addition, because of his work, Su Ze is still familiar with several southern dialects, and he is still very quick to learn.

Comparatively speaking, it is still Ruthia's native language, Elven language, which is much more difficult to learn. Of course, according to their own words, the name of this language is "Tasty", which means "new language", and this "new" is relative to the Old Elf. If it is a local Han Chinese, it is called "mountain ghost language".

If we say that the local Chinese language can still find similar southern dialects on the earth. But Elvish is not the same at all, although at first it sounds like a southern dialect, but when you listen closely, it is not like that at all.

Based on Su Ze's impression, he can't think of any language with pronunciation characteristics similar to it. The way it is pronounced is very complex, and the grammar is so cumbersome that it brings tears to your eyes.

Therefore, Su Ze's learning progress in elven language is very pitiful.
