Prince Qin's Mansion, Hongwen Hall.
Qin Mo, Kong Yingda, Yan Shigu, and the others met again. This time, Qin Mo was once again their teacher.
Of course, Li Er, who had nothing to do, also ran over.
"Brat, why did His Majesty ask us to learn how to read and write from you? What's going on this time?"
Letting a nine-year-old child teach these learned scholars how to read, if this were to spread, people would probably laugh their teeth out.
It wasn't like he was using punctuations.
Qin Mo smiled at the old masters 'doubts and asked," Gentlemen, how's the matter with the punctuations?”
Old Kong stroked his beard and smiled." Punctuation is a good thing. The imperial court has already issued a document and promoted it all over the world. What is this Pinyin thing? His Majesty didn't say it clearly either. He only said that he wanted us to learn how to read from him.”
Qin Mo broke out in a cold sweat. Li Er didn't make it clear either. No wonder these old men were unconvinced.
"Gentlemen, when we were studying, we didn't have a standard rhyme scheme. When you teach new words, you often use two common words to reverse or spell out the pronunciation of the new word. This method is obviously too cumbersome and difficult to read accurately. The kid thought about it day and night and finally came up with a plan called Pinyin to solve this problem.”
As soon as Qin Mo finished speaking, the old teachers became excited. They naturally knew this problem very well. The method of using common words to reverse the qie had to be done in advance. They had to learn this common word first, which was too cumbersome.
Old Kong grabbed Qin Mo's sleeve." Is that true?”
Qin Mo smiled and said," Really? Let go first, I'll demonstrate it for you."”
Old Kong smiled awkwardly before letting go.
In order to make it easier for him to teach, Qin Mo made a blackboard and some chalk.
He wrote the word "laugh" on the blackboard."Everyone, how do you pronounce this word?”
Old Kong Dao said," This word is cut as well."
This word naturally couldn't stump the great Confucians present.
"Then how do you pronounce the word 'sharp'?" Qin Mo said with a smile.
"The word cut is the same as Xue."
"How do you pronounce Xue?" Qin Mo asked again.
"Xue's name is the same as boots."
This time, he didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he sighed." Everyone, in order to learn the word 'laughing', I have to first understand the words' cut ',' Xue 'and' shoe', or even more. Isn't it very complicated?”
All the teachers nodded, and Li Er also seemed to be deep in thought.
Then, Qin Mo wrote the three Pinyin words " xu " on the blackboard." This is the Pinyin I'm going to talk about today. The four words " laugh "," cut "," Xue ", and " Xue " are introduced as " xu ". If this Pinyin was out, would it be so complicated to recognize the word " laugh "?”
Then Qin Mo took Mao as an example. When he used Fanqie, he used Mao and Spear, but the pronunciation was máo.
When these two examples came out, the old masters were so excited that their beards trembled.
"Wonderful! It's really wonderful." Yan Shigu agreed," This old man can be considered intelligent, but I suffered a lot when I was young and wasted a lot of energy.”
Lu Deming also nodded." This Pinyin is really a divine item that benefits the country and the people. This way, it will be much easier for the people to read and write.”
The other teachers nodded.
Qin Mo said," His Majesty asked all the teachers to come here to learn Pinyin and then compile a dictionary for scholars to refer to when they encounter words they don't understand.”
Qin Mo explained the function of the dictionary, and the teachers nodded.
Kong Yingda asked," But if a scholar doesn't know how to pronounce this word, even if he has a dictionary, how would he know where to look it up? It was too time-consuming and laborious to flip through the dictionary page by page.”
"Good question!" Qin Mo gave Old Kong a thumbs up." This is the other thing that I'm going to teach you today. The radical of the Chinese character 'Xue' is an example. The radical of the character is '' and the strokes are 16."
Therefore, Qin Mo simply explained the Pinyin and the things of the division leader. Old Kong and the others enjoyed it as if they were drinking wine.
"Uncle Lantian, please bow to me.”Kong Yingda bowed to Qin Mo.
"Please give us a bow." Yan Shigu and the other Confucians also bowed to Qin Mo.
"I can't take it. All the teachers are killing me.”Qin Mo dared not accept it.
Old Kong and the others insisted, so Qin Mo could only give up.
Li Er was indeed envious, but these old masters had never given him such a big bow before.
Li Er coughed lightly and said," This dictionary is really a work of art for thousands of years. I wonder if it has a name?”
Li Er's old habit of being too extravagant was back. He always liked to put his year number in front of great inventions.
It was fine if he wanted to name the chair, horse hooves, and Qu Yuanli, but he had a deep interest in this dictionary. He was determined not to let Li Er get what he wanted, so he pretended not to see Li Er's expectant eyes and said," This dictionary is called Xinhua dictionary.”
"Xinhua dictionary? Good name." The teachers all liked it.
However, Li Er was not happy. This Shandong kid was too unreasonable. I'll draw a circle and curse you.
Such a cool thing, wasn't it justified by the Zhenguan dictionary?
Qin Mo still had to give lessons to the old teachers. Li Er was not interested in the process and only wanted to see the results. Hence, he took the opportunity to deal with administrative matters and left.
"There are 23 initial syllables in Chinese Pinyin:b, p, m, f; There are 39 finals and 4 tones."
Qin Mo hung up the alphabets. The old masters 'eyes turned red when they saw the alphabets, like cats seeing fish.
Therefore, the sound of reading came from Prince Qin's residence." B, P, M, F, D.”
The teachers were very serious in class, and their crazy enthusiasm made Qin Mo sweat.
