After Han Cheng and Wu confirmed the matter, they called the elder brother as the leader of the tribe, and the three of them discussed and formulated a solution together.
The eldest brother is also very curious about the language and writing of God, but he is far less enthusiastic than the witch.
After all, his main responsibility is not to pass down the writing, but to lead the tribe to fish and hunt and find enough food for the tribe.
After Han Cheng expressed the meaning of the phrase "Education must start from childhood" through the language and gestures of the tribe, these minors in the tribe suffered.
In the past, they had nothing to do, especially in winter. They would eat and play when they were full, sleep when they were tired from playing, play again when they woke up, and wait to eat when they were hungry.
But that’s not possible now, because they need to learn God’s language and writing from the Son of God!
There are a lot of minors in the tribe, as many as thirty-five! This number almost catches up with the adults in the tribe.
There are only forty adults in the tribe, including the shaman and the two old men responsible for tending the flames.
This does not include Han Cheng.
Because he has the mind of an adult but the body of a minor, he really doesn't know which type of person he should classify himself as.
Among the thirty-five people, excluding those who were still nursing in their arms, those who had just stumbled around and could walk two steps, those who were babbling, and those who were still in a state of ignorance, there were actually only eighteen children of the right school age.
, including three who are close to adulthood.
Han Cheng had never carefully counted the number of people in the tribe before. After this count, Han Cheng couldn't help but feel a little frightened.
He discovered a very serious problem, that is, the number of minors in the tribe showed a decreasing trend as the age increased.
Although there will be occasional fluctuations, the overall trend remains unchanged.
For example, right now, there are roughly seventeen children between the ages of zero and five, but only eighteen between the ages of five and thirteen or fourteen.
When he first discovered this phenomenon, he was a little silent, but then he realized that this is not a later generation with no worries about food and clothing, and advanced medical and health conditions, but a primitive era where the mortality rate of newborn babies was high, so this happened
things happen.
Han Cheng put aside this complicated mood and began to concentrate on teaching Mandarin and Chinese characters.
After all, he is not the real Son of God, he is just an ordinary person from later generations. When he traveled through time, he did not cheat.
There are many things, even if he wants to do something, he has no way to start. He can only start from some aspects and things within his power, slowly change the tribe, and try his best to create a good survival for himself and the tribe.
condition.
There are a total of eighteen minors studying Chinese characters and Mandarin with Han Cheng.
Well, you read that right, they caught all the school-age children in the cave.
Han Cheng's education for them, like a witch, started with the 'gloves' and 'socks' that they were already familiar with.
Then there are the body parts like ‘mouth’, ‘nose’, ‘teeth’ and ‘feet’.
There are limited writing tools in the cave, which is a problem.
After all, before this, writing was only a matter for witches, and the others had never thought about it.
It would be unrealistic to get a large stone slab for each of these children and let them carve on it with a suitable stone, like the witch did.
Because it is winter now, it is impractical to go out to find slates in the ice and snow.
Moreover, they are now learning calligraphy, unlike shamans who want to record some knowledge on stone tablets and pass them on to future generations, so using stone tablets seems to be overkill.
Of course, another important reason is that writing on slate can only be done once and is not easy to erase, making it unfavorable for multiple uses.
This was not a problem for Han Cheng. After years of burning, a thick layer of powdery firewood ash had accumulated in the cave.
He asked people to use stones to circle eighteen one-foot-square boxes on the ground in his classroom. Then he put powdered firewood ash in the boxes, and first used branches used as pens.
Smooth it out and then you can write on it.
After writing, you only need to touch the pen horizontally on it. After it is flat, you can continue writing.
Of course, such a writing instrument also has a disadvantage, that is, once someone sneezes on it, a burst of grass ash will fly up.
In fact, Han Cheng originally wanted to make a sand tray, but now that it is winter, the sand is frozen and difficult to remove, so he had to temporarily replace it with this 'grass ash tray'.
Fortunately, we are in primitive times. Having a writing instrument is already very good. Who cares so much about it?
If you don't believe it, you can see that after using the 'Grass Ash Tray' made by Han Cheng personally, he immediately realized its beauty and asked someone to get one in the inner cave where he lived, and just take it with him when he has nothing to do.
There are writings and drawings on the branches.
After all, in the past few days, he has been studying the writings of God with Han Cheng and has used a whole large stone slab!
Wang Qing's writing tool is not a 'gray tray'. This is not because he deliberately wants to be special, but because the straw tray can only be placed on the ground. If everyone wants to see the words, they have to gather around and stretch their heads to watch, which is really inconvenient.
He wrote on a stone slab that was erected in front of everyone. He did not use a stone pen to carve it, but selected half-burned charcoal from the ashes and wrote on it.
Although every time I finish writing, my hands are covered with black dust and I need to wash my hands with snow, but the advantage is that the writing is cleaned, and the slate can be used again by wiping it with snow and animal skins, which is more convenient.
The children in the tribe needed to read, write, and learn to speak the language of God. Han Cheng also did not let go of other adults in the tribe.
However, considering that they need to work, they don't have much time to spend on studying, and their plasticity is not as strong as these children, so Han Cheng did not force them to be able to write.
Writing can be based on personal interests, but learning to speak Mandarin is something that everyone must learn and cannot be discounted!
Well, everyone must speak Mandarin.
Because this matter was jointly decided by Wu, Han Cheng and the leader, Senior Brother, so although many people found it troublesome, they did not dare to disobey.
Especially after hearing that this language is the word of God, my resistance becomes even smaller.
As for Han Cheng, after breaking the ice to collect fish to save the tribe from danger, making socks and gloves to save everyone from the cold, especially after being dubbed the son of a god by a witch, no one in the tribe
Dare to despise him.
Therefore, during the teaching process, there was no such thing as contradicting the teacher.
As for the lazy children who don't study hard, Han Cheng has a solution. Just asking them to write the words they have been taught but can't write a hundred times is enough to get rid of everyone's problem of desertion.
Of course, Han Cheng hasn't taught them to count to a hundred yet, but Han Cheng has a way. He found a hundred small bones from the cave and put them into a pile. Every time he wrote a word, he took one bone from the ground and put it back.
On the hide.
As for cheating, how could Han Cheng, who had been educated for more than ten years, not think of a way to deal with it? When he was punished to write, someone was supervising him.
Those who know but do not report need to write together with the person who cheated, and every time he cheats, he will scroll up to 100 words...
