The little boy lowered his head and thought for a moment and said: "Some words are so complicated. Mr. teaches many words every day. Before I have time to finish writing a word, he teaches the next word."
When Zhong Jinwei heard this, he remembered that traditional Chinese characters are still used now, with many strokes, and many of the characters are very similar. It is indeed difficult for these kindergarten children to recognize the differences between traditional Chinese characters with many strokes.
As an adult, I have the foundation of simplified Chinese characters from later generations, and it took a long time to gradually master the most commonly used traditional Chinese characters. Even now, if I encounter unfamiliar traditional Chinese characters, I still can't write them.
And after adults become proficient, they can write traditional Chinese characters composed of a large number of strokes much faster than when young children first learned it. If the writing speed is not slowed down, young children will definitely not be able to keep up.
The child was very grateful to Zhong Jinwei and said everything without saying anything: "Uncle, it doesn't matter. After I go home, I can write on the dirt by myself. But I often forget how to pronounce the words. The next day when I go to school, I get slapped in the palm by my teacher.
Already."
At this point, the child saw that Zhong Jinwei looked a little shocked, so he straightened up and quickly added: "But, I get beaten the least!"
Zhong Jinwei frowned slightly and asked the little boy: "Isn't there pinyin? Have you forgotten the pinyin?"
"Pinyin? Uncle, what's Pinyin?" The little boy was a little confused and asked Zhong Jinwei.
Zhong Jinwei suddenly remembered that he had always subconsciously thought that there was pinyin. But hearing the child say this, it seemed that there was no pinyin at this time.
In fact, Pinyin already exists, and there are already several versions.
The method of spelling Chinese characters formulated by Pasiba, the state advisor of Kublai Khan in the Yuan Dynasty, was based on the Tubo script. It was no longer used after the overthrow of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty;
There is also a local version. During this period, the practice of using simple homophonic Chinese characters for Chinese Pinyin appeared. After several changes, this practice was still used in Taiwan in later generations.
At the same time, at the end of the Apocalypse, the Latin alphabet Pinyin also appeared. The French missionary Guinnigue, Han Yun, Wang Zheng and others of the Ming Dynasty worked together to compile China's first Latinized Pinyin vocabulary.
However, none of the above has been officially promoted. Most of them still use the "two-character tangent" pronunciation method passed down from generation to generation in China. That is, using the initial consonant of the first character and the final of the second character to spell out the third character.
This method is very cumbersome and often inaccurate.
Zhong Jinwei, who traveled through time in later generations, naturally thought of promoting Pinyin for the first time. As long as he wrote down a set of Pinyin by himself, and then handed it over to Xu Guangqi and others to modify it according to the actual situation of the Ming Dynasty. After being tested in practice by later generations, it worked.
An effective set of pinyin could be promoted in the seventeenth century.
When Zhong Jinwei thought of this, he asked the child: "Where is the kindergarten you study at? Can you take me there to see it?"
"Okay, okay! But uncle, it's too hot now. We all have a holiday, and my husband has gone back to the county seat." The child agreed at first, and then reminded him as he remembered the holiday.
Zhong Jinwei couldn't help but smile after hearing this. It turned out that there was summer vacation at this time, and everyone was on vacation. He thought for a while, and then asked: "Then do you know where your husband lives?"
The child shook his head and replied a little embarrassedly: "I have never been to the county town."
After hearing this, Zhong Jinwei turned to look at Wu Moquan and saw that he was shaking his head in shame. Apparently he didn't know where the kindergarten teacher lived.
Just when Zhong Jinwei wanted to ask someone else, Gu Baichuan reported to Zhong Jinwei in a low voice: "Master, they are here."
As soon as Zhong Jinwei heard this, his mind was no longer immersed in kindergarten matters, and he heard noisy sounds coming from outside, coming from far to near.
When he saw Wu Moquan's family's faces changing color and showing a hint of fear, he comforted them: "Don't be afraid."
After saying that, he turned around and looked outside the tea shop.
About forty people, armed with hoes, rolling pins and other utensils, came here aggressively surrounded by a few people in official uniforms.
Other passengers in the store also saw this situation and couldn't help but squeeze in again, but they still looked at the scene at the door of the store curiously. They really wanted to know how the two sides would collide when they met, and what would be the result?
Gu Baichuan was worried that these people would hurt the Duke because they didn't know their seriousness, so he just winked at them.
Seven or eight guards immediately stood up, took out knives from their luggage, hung them on their waists, and lined them up on both sides of the door on guard.
The tea shop owner originally wanted to be a peacemaker, say a few nice words at the right time, and reduce as many conflicts as possible.
But when I saw this group of burly men in brocade clothes showing off their weapons, I was shocked. They were either government officials or outlaws.
No matter which aspect, the tea shop owner did not dare to go there again. He stayed in the tea shop with other tourists, praying in his heart that it was best to be someone from the government, lest his tea shop would suffer if a fight broke out.
The patriarch surnamed Wu had already seen his son kneeling at the door of the tea shop. He couldn't bear it. He walked a few steps quickly and arrived at the door of the shop. He pointed at Zhong Jinwei, who was obviously the leader, and cursed: "Where did this wild man come from?
You are so bold as to dare to abuse my son like this. If I don’t beat you until your parents don’t even recognize you today, my surname will not be Wu!”
The seven people kneeling at the door started to commotion when they saw the clan leader leading the county captain in person. But when they looked up and saw the big men in brocade clothes with knives beside them, they were a little scared because they had been beaten before.
Should I stand up or continue to kneel?
Gu Baichuan frowned when he saw that he spoke rudely. When did a man from Dongchang get insulted like this by a commoner and even scolded the Duke? He immediately shouted with a low face: "Slap your mouth."
A sergeant obeyed the order, took a few steps forward, and drew a knife in his hand. Before the other party could react, he had already put it on the neck of the patriarch surnamed Wu, and then started to slap his mouth with "crackling" sounds.
Everyone was shocked by the scene that suddenly appeared in front of them. There were so many people coming from the other side, and these big men in brocade clothes even started to slap the patriarch Wu’s mouth on the spot. This was really the most arrogant group of people they had ever seen in their lives!
The county captain saw that the people here were so arrogant and slapped him when he saw him coming over. Moreover, he was the clan leader of his eight worshippers. This was obviously not giving him face and not taking his official uniform seriously.
Anger immediately appeared on his face. He walked a few steps quickly and was about to ask something. He noticed that the other party was carrying a knife. And the knife was very special, as if he had seen it somewhere.
The Xiuchun Knife is only used by factory guards, but the number of factory guards is limited after all, and they cannot appear in every place. Therefore, the county lieutenant has never seen it, but fortunately he has heard of it.
His expression immediately changed again, and after taking a closer look at these big men in robes, he broke out in a cold sweat.
When the Wu family villagers and several of the county captain's followers were preparing to watch the county captain show off his authority, scold each other, and then order their arrest to be taken to the county jail, what they saw next was what the county captain did, which surprised them.
