Chapter 977 Chinese Pinyin
A few Luzon barbarians didn’t even have any shame, and they just wanted to challenge my Tang Dynasty with a few turkeys. They must be tired of living. Humph! From my perspective, they should learn from Fujiwara’s way, and often move Han people here, lock all the savages and open mines for our Tang Dynasty. Secondly, they can also teach them what kind of benevolence, righteousness, integrity and shame are…” Li Zhi smelled a bad face, as if the one placed in front of him was not a map of the Tang Dynasty and its surrounding areas, but the heads of countless barbarians and the cannibalism.
I leaned lazily on the lounge chair, sucking the sour plum juice to cool off, shaking the folding fan, and watching Li Zhi's performance. I was thinking about a big question in my mind. The territory of the Tang Dynasty had expanded greatly. I am afraid that most of Asia, except for the Tang Dynasty and the vassal states of the Tang Dynasty, also had some barbaric lands. At most, there were only some wild monkeys floating around in front of the treetops, and there was no concept of a country or nation at all.
It is very simple to conquer them, but the problem is that our Tang Dynasty is too big, and it is probably 20,000 miles to stand up. In such a vast country, the accents of the people of the Tang Dynasty are everywhere. For example, Li Xiaode. If this guy uses an old Guangzhou dialect to brag about me, it would be good to understand two or three of my ten words. This has to be guessed and confused, let alone say anything about snoring, Tuyuhun dialect, Tubo dialect, Liaodong dialect, Jiangnan dialect, well, anyway, every official has to take at least several months to understand whether the local gentry is planning to use money or bribe him with fertile land in the house.
Although the words are a bit exaggerated, this is indeed a fact. And it is an unquestionable fact. Thinking about later generations, I was a native of Guizhou and lived in Guizhou for thirty years. But I couldn't understand the Mawei dialect from us only tens of kilometers away, and I couldn't understand the Tongren dialect hundreds of miles away. At least we had never heard of Xingyi dialect. Of course, when everyone started writing and learning the communication of people with disabilities, it was smoother.
This shows a problem. Text is one of the basic tools for communication between people, and language is the same. When the words used are the same and the language is different, a foot will be lost when communicating. Therefore, we should think of a way to let the people of the Tang Dynasty, vendors and ethnic minorities in the country that have subdued us in the Tang Dynasty learn the same voice. When their language is completely consistent and the words are completely consistent, the culture will become consistent. Then think about it. What ethnic independence can they have? There is a land. It is just the Chinese ethnic cultural circle of the Pan-European, Asia, Africa, and Latin Tang Dynasty.
------------------------------------------------
"Brother Jun, you are thinking of something bad. You look sinister and cunning." Li Zhi next to him couldn't see it and came over to ask. I smiled and shook the folding fan in my hand: "It's not a bad idea, it's definitely not a bad idea, but a good idea. Well, if I talk to you about this, I will know the magic of this plan for my teacher."
"What's the good idea? What's the matter in Weinan County? Are you going to scrape the family of that vassal state again?" Li Zhi scratched his chin and said gossipingly.
I shook my head helplessly: "You guy, you can be considered a new Confucian scholar in my Tang Dynasty. Do you only know how to plot against others every day and tell you that this matter will only benefit my Tang Dynasty. Well, or it should be said that it will help me integrate the ethnic and culture of the newly occupied land of the Tang Dynasty, causing those barbarians of all races to lose their cultural and linguistic roots, and accelerate the cultural invasion of my Tang Dynasty..."
Li Zhi rolled his eyes and gave him the latest Tang Dynasty and surrounding area map carefully put it in a bamboo tube next to him. He smiled at me and said, "Don't brag, always say something serious, what's going on?"
"Hehe, let me tell you slowly..." I still kept my hemiplegic position and leaned on the recliner, trembling with my legs crossed, shaking my folding fan, and slowly came.
After I spitted and talked to Li Zhi about the promotion concept of unifying the language, writing, and cultural level of human language, writing, and cultural level on Earth, white light began to pop out from Li Zhi's eyes, which was very dazzling. After squatting beside me, after thinking for a long time, I finally woke up. "Although this strategy is wonderful, it's really hard to be patient. The world is so big that it's not a hundred years, and I can't do this at all. Besides, it's still a little bit whether people are willing to learn this."
After hearing Li Zhi's words, I couldn't help but laugh. We have learned the promotion experience of Mandarin in later generations. Think about it, as long as the teaching staff can be improved, whether it is large, medium and small cities, or county towns, as long as the teachers can learn it and pass it on to students, after a while, I can't understand it or not learn it. Besides, if I vigorously promote the state machine, although I dare not say that it can expand to the countryside like in later generations, as long as it can be promoted in various places, as the official standard accent of the Tang Dynasty, can the national ruling institutions not be moved?
Today, the population of Guanzhongdao in the Tang Dynasty still accounts for one-third of the Tang Dynasty. In addition, the continuous migration of residents to various parts of the Tang Dynasty in recent years has given Guanzhongyin a greater opportunity for development across the country. Well, although the tone here is different from the Mandarin in later generations, Guanzhongyin is the main user population of the Tang Dynasty, which shows that it has great advantages in voice integration.
Although it was difficult to promote the Guanzhong pronunciation as the correct pronunciation of various provinces and prefectures and even ethnic groups, Qin Shihuang also unified the weights and measures of the country and unified the writings of the country. The benefit of this was that the land of China became a common whole. The promotion of Mandarin was also conducive to integrating the centripetal force of the people of the Tang Empire and identifying with the long-term national policy of a whole.
"Since language and characters are consistent, the language and speech are all the same. Although China is big, it is like a family. It is not like the one who stands on the border, and each speaks opposite the local sound without saying a word." I made such a classic saying very literary. These words naturally involve the unity and development of national languages. Only in this way can we truly realize the overall unification of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Zhi listened in detail and asked his questions from time to time. Naturally, I solved his doubts one by one, and Li Zhi gradually understood this truth. Well, who is actually unwilling to learn from Qin Shihuang? Of course, learn his persistent spirit of breaking the rules and establishing a new system and a new order.
In fact, it was founded in the Tang Dynasty
Some scholars have proposed this concept. However, no one agrees with this concept. It has only gained one-sided support from some knowledgeable people. The main reason is that most of these scholars who proposed to regulate the pronunciation of Chinese in the Tang Dynasty lack a forward-looking consciousness and foresight.
It should be said that the limitations of history have made their geographical concepts not recognized by most people. For example, when I was conducting a survey on Chinese pinyin, I found a data. It was that the monk Shou Wen of the late Tang Dynasty, who can be regarded as a more famous early phonologist in history.
He used Chinese characters to represent these initials and finals, so such letters did not further develop into pinyin characters. However, he created the thirty-six letters, which was the blueprint for the "thirty-six letters" of the Song Dynasty. The Tang manuscripts produced in Dunhuang included the fragments of Shouwen's works on phonology, and the memory of "thirty-two letters" and "four-class light and heavy examples" were used to confirm the theory that Shouwen first created letters, and from this he knew that he was the founder of Shouwen's quartz.
However, because the government agencies do not pay enough attention to it, or should be said to have insufficient understanding, it is impossible to promote it. Now, the era when the Tang Dynasty expanded and the expansion consciousness was the strongest, and the era when aggressiveness and annexation were developed to the extreme. At this time, the voice of the whole country would inevitably be valued by the aggressive rulers.
At least, based on my observations and understanding over the years, in the era of Uncle Li and Li Zhi, the Chinese Pinyin can definitely be promoted under the situation of important national policies. In addition, this young master vigorously advocates education and promotes Chinese Pinyin. In this case, why not? A hundred years later, the whole world is proud to speak Chinese.
After saying a lot, I simply sat up and drank the last bite of sour plum soup. After breathing a long breath, I smiled and said, "Haha, in the past hundred years? How many people in the Tang Dynasty are there? How many people in Guanzhong account for? Carefully selecting Guanzhongyin as the national standard, first of all, it has already occupied an advantage in the number of audiences. Let me give you the simplest example, aren't you afraid that no one will teach? Simple, how many students can I graduate from Qujiang Academy every year? If one or two of them are willing to teach and educate people, let them learn the rhythm of pinyin, and then, they can teach their disciples. Within thirty or fifty years, as long as the country vigorously promotes it as a Mandarin, at that time, why fear no one is willing to learn it?"
Li Zhi did not sit cross-legged like a plague, and was very happy and scratched his head. However, soon, Li Zhi noticed a problem, that is, I had fooled him for so long, but I had not revealed any key core issues for a long time. "What is the method of phonology?" Li Zhi earnestly poured me a cup of tea, and said with a smile on his face.
Without saying a word, I picked up a carbon pen from the table and drew some letters on the paper. "Do you know what these are?" I smiled at Li Zhi and said. Li Zhi looked over, then shook his head: "These are not the letters you usually use in teaching by Master."
------------------------------------------------
"Really, you're right. These letters are the result of gathering the world for the master, thinking hard... the gains from nearly twenty years." I pulled the wrench and said, "We are only in our twenties this year. If we think hard for thirty or fifty years, or a hundred years, it would be too much. Therefore, twenty years are more appropriate. But even so, Li Zhi rolled his eyes and almost choked out the tea he drank.
"Well, my teacher may be a bit exaggerated, but don't believe it. Since my teacher knew that he was living in this prosperous Zhenguan era, the great Tang Dynasty, such a country, and such a nation, his master's heart was surging. I was thinking, how could I let me be the Tang Dynasty..." I didn't say anything fake. We are not the cuckold that Fang Yiai was so cuckolded. We are an excellent time traveler identified by the beautiful administrator of the Time and Space Administration.
Do you know what an excellent time traveler is? Don’t you know? Then I’ll give you a detailed introduction: Give me a fulcrum to lift the earth, give me an apple, I can know countless laws of physics, give me a beauty, I can create a nation? Well, you heard it wrong. In short, besides this young master, who can have more forward-looking vision and vision than me? Don’t talk about Li Zhi, who is stupid with me, who is looking at me showing off his skills, even Uncle Li, his ability in this area is definitely not my opponent.
After a stick of incense, Li Zhi couldn't help but pull my clothes: "Brother Jun, you should talk about something serious. Well, Xiao Zhi naturally knows your astronomy, geography, and studying things to lead to knowledge. In short, there is nothing in the world that you, the second young master of Fang, don't know. Xiao Zhi admires this little bit. Well, let's talk about the pinyin letters first..."
In view of Li Zhi's surrender, I had to sit down. After all, the prince said so, and it would be unreasonable not to give him some face. "In fact, these letters are divided into initials and finals, and there are naturally differences among them. However, Xiaozhi, this thing is extremely simple and easy to learn. Unless it is a person with a slightly inferior IQ, ordinary people can fully master it in just about ten days." I forgot how long it took me to master these letters in later generations, but in my impression, these small letters are just native chickens and tiles for people like me with a high IQ.
