Chapter 60: The cone is in the bag

Liang Qu was not in a hurry. He patiently copied the remaining calligraphy and handed it to the teacher respectfully.

According to the information in the spiritual connection, what was found this time was not a treasure fish, but a treasure plant, or in other words, a unique terrain.

Neither of them will run away, so there is no need to worry.

The teacher Si Hengyi was a young man in his twenties. He sat behind the table and took the calligraphy and looked through it: "Not bad, not bad, obvious progress, you can already write sentences. I have been teaching for several years, and you are the fastest to learn words, just this word..."

Liang Qu lowered his head in shame. Unlike many predecessors who were both literary and martial, he had never learned calligraphy. Not to mention calligraphy, his normal writing was very average. When he first started, his handwriting was really like a dog crawling.

Si Hengyi laughed: "It doesn't matter. Your handwriting is ugly at first. You may even feel that it gets uglier and uglier. It's normal. Besides, you martial artists don't study the quotations of saints. It's enough to be able to read and write."

"Why does your handwriting get uglier and uglier?" Liang Qu was puzzled.

"Practicing calligraphy will quickly improve your appreciation of the beauty of handwriting, but if your hand can't keep up in a short period of time, you will feel that your handwriting is getting uglier and uglier, and even have the illusion that you can't write.

The key is to persist. When you feel that your handwriting is not so ugly, you will find that your handwriting is actually very beautiful."

It turned out that it was ugly in a subjective sense. Liang Qu nodded: "Students will learn from you."

Si Hengyi glanced at the clepsydra. The arrow scale in the copper pot had risen to nearly the hour of You. He stood up and shouted to the boys: "Okay, hand over the copybook. If there is nothing else, stop here today. School is over!"

The boys stood up and cheered. After handing the paper to the table, they ran out of the academy. There were already many maids, servants or parents waiting at the door, holding their own children's hands one by one.

For a while, only Si Hengyi and Liang Qu were left in the room.

Si Hengyi sorted the papers: "Liang Qu, do you have anything else to do? If you still want to practice calligraphy, the brushes, ink, paper and inkstone are all here. You can use them as you like without wasting them, or you can go to the library to read books. If you don't want to practice, go home early. The mountain ghost incident has caused a lot of noise. It's better not to travel at night."

"To be honest, sir, I do have something else to do."

"Oh, what is it?"

"I would like to ask you to take a look at this. This is a method of literacy that I have summarized and researched in recent days. I feel it is better than the direct sound method and the fanqie method. I would like to ask you for your advice."

Dashun has invention rewards. As long as you can invent useful items, you can get rewards.

The rewards can be silver, tax exemption privileges, or even low-level titles.

Liang Qu had an idea early on. He didn't dare to think about the title. Making some money or tax exemption were both great benefits.

But the productivity in this world is really not weak. After thinking about it, he didn't have any good ideas. It was not until he was reading in recent days that he came up with a good idea.

These two days, when I got home, I did nothing but practice martial arts.

Hearing this, Si Hengyi was quite curious.

Is it better than the direct phonetic method and the fanqie method?

The direct phonetic method is a method of using homophones to indicate pronunciation.

The fanqie method is to use multiple characters to indicate the pronunciation of another character, with the upper character taking the initial consonant and the lower character taking the final vowel and tone.

Both methods have a history of hundreds of years and are recognized as the best methods. Can a fisherman who has learned characters for a few days figure out a better method?

Si Hengyi didn't believe it in his heart, but not believing it didn't mean he didn't want to see it.

There are indeed methods that are better than the direct phonetic method and the fanqie method for some individuals, but they are not suitable for popularization. After reading it, you can encourage and motivate students.

Liang Qu took out several pieces of thin paper from his arms and unfolded them.

Si Hengyi came forward and found that the first sheet was a strange character, like a radical variant, and the following sheets were lines of characters, and the characters were marked with the combination of the characters on the first sheet.

"Sir,

The method I invented is called Pinyin."

"Pinyin?"

"Yes, it is a spelling method. I turned the characters marked with pronunciation by Fanqie into a special symbol, and slightly changed the pronunciation to make it independent from the characters."

Si Hengyi laughed: "Isn't that still the cut character method?"

"Not really."

Pinyin!

For the Chinese character system, it is a revolutionary learning tool.

The key lies in the independence of the system!

It is to use a simple system to explain another complex system, rather than using a complex system to explain a complex system.

As long as you learn the pronunciation of more than 20 symbols, the problem of recognizing and writing hundreds of thousands of characters will be solved.

Of course, the Pinyin in front of you is not the same as the previous life.

The characters of Dashun are different from Chinese characters, and the pronunciation is also different.

Liang Qu has made some modifications, and the symbols are also used after the radicals have changed their shapes.

At first he thought it would be difficult to modify, but it was surprisingly simple.

Pinyin is similar to Fanqie, which has initials, finals and tones.

It's just that one is spelling with words, and the other is spelling with characters.

Many things are not as difficult as imagined, the key lies in an inspiration point.

No one has ever tried to jump out of the text framework and use a simple set of symbols with a small number as pronunciation symbols.

Is it really impossible?

Of course not.

Before the noodles came out, no one thought that wheat ground into flour and rolled out would be so delicious.

Before the stirrups came out, no one thought that two stirrups would have such a big effect.

Of course, in addition to coveting Dashun's invention award, Liang Qu had another idea, he wanted to show his talent.

In more than a month, he succeeded in breaking through the barriers and became a real warrior. On the surface, he had not used medicinal baths, and his speed was amazing.

If you want to avoid suspicion, it is impossible to hide.

Unless you don't socialize with others for a lifetime, don't get into disputes, and don't use this strength to seek benefits, it will be exposed sooner or later.

Liang Qu always remembers the bald Zhang who seized the boat and the Wang brothers who robbed silver when he was weak.

A few ruffians can regard him as a fish on the chopping board.

Dashun is a peaceful Dashun, but also a cannibalistic Dashun.

He practiced martial arts not to be a turtle, but to show it, to gain a higher status and live a better life.

For this reason, the best way to hide is not to hide!

Show your talents as much as possible and become a "genius" in the open!

Perception and creativity are also martial arts talents!

Although the tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind, the masters, brothers and sisters around Liang Qu are all towering trees that protect him from wind and rain. His small "tall seedling" is really nothing.

After explaining the concept and usage of Pinyin, Si Hengyi raised his eyebrows.

It was really different from what he imagined. The so-called Pinyin method seemed to have some tricks.

"Interesting, please say it a few more times."

"Okay, this character..."

"Say it again."

"This pronunciation..."

After a long time, Si Hengyi's face became solemn.

"It seems to be almost the same as the cutting method, but your method is much simpler. You use another set of symbols to annotate characters. Should I say that this is what a beginner would do?"

It was a complete new start, and it did not fall into the trap of annotating characters with characters. The key is that it is really well done!

Apart from the whims of beginners, Si Hengyi could not think of anything else.

Originally, Liang Qu could leave school at the end of Shen time, but the Pinyin issue forced him to stay until the end of You time, and it was dark.

"There are still many mistakes and inaccuracies, but the general framework is indeed simple. It's getting late. I'll write down the pronunciation of your characters and study them carefully when I go back. I'll discuss it with you tomorrow."

"Thank you, Mr. Si."

Liang Qu bowed. There are still some differences in the pronunciation of the characters. He really didn't think about some places, but he didn't modify them. That's why it looks like he created it.

He paid the majority, and the teachers in the academy helped to think of the minor parts, and together they made a perfect whole, which not only shared the reputation and interests, but also seemed more reasonable, and the key was that it was easier.

Fortunately, Si Hengyi was young, had a strong learning ability, and his acceptance ability was not solidified, so he could listen to him. If he was replaced by an old scholar in his forties or fifties, it would not be certain.

As for whether the pinyin method would be taken away and embezzled, Liang Qu was not worried.

Which teacher in the academy didn't know that he was arranged by Yang Dongxiong to come in to study.
