Chapter 1566: Shouldn’t you be worried that I won’t pass the test?

"The old man is here?" Mingyi stood at the stall and greeted the two people who came over. By November, Tian Rui's cold cup stall had been removed, and now the front of Mingyi Noodle House was clean again.

This summer, Leng Leng Cup stall made a lot of money, because Zhou Zhi helped her come up with the idea, and Zhou Zhi also helped her to handle all aspects of the relationship with the industrial, commercial, urban management, school and community. Tian Rui hid this aspect from Niu Er and Zhou Zhi.

The business is open until midnight every day. It is indeed hard work, but the money is really scary. It has changed Zhou Zhi's view of making snacks as "one copy, two noodles and three buns".

For more than three months, the average daily turnover has been maintained at four to five thousand, with a profit of more than 30%.

The profit of about two thousand a day is about two hundred thousand in three months.

Because seeing how hard Tian Rui was working, Mingyi sometimes couldn't stand it anymore and helped him out. In this way, Tian Rui gave him more than 10,000 yuan.

"Xiao Ming, it's better to have two taels of medicinal food and noodles per person." Mr. Gu said, "I don't want the chicken. I'll put my portion in the elbow bowl."

"Let me add an omelette to the old man." Mingyi said with a smile: "It seems that you have some skills in Tai Chi sword? Your energy is getting stronger and stronger."

In the past, people like Mingyi, who were "flattering people", would probably not be welcomed by the old man, but now their ideas have changed, and I think this kid is quite capable.

Zhou Zhi explained that this is called a gentleman hiding his weapon in his body. If he wants to use it, he can take it out at any time. It is Mingyi's active choice rather than a useless passive thing. In fact, this is also good.

The old man was biased and even thought Zhou Zhi was right.

The two of them were chewing noodles, and Mr. Gu was more concerned about the progress of his classmates: "I'm good at rhyme, how are you doing with it?"

"I taught them "East Wind Breaks the Early Plum Blossoms". Adding the Cantonese of the monkey, the Meizhou pronunciation of the Hubei Province, Wu Lingshuang's Hakka, Qi Xinyan's Gusu dialect, and some English pronunciation, basically the ancient pronunciation Got it together for everyone.”

"The east wind breaks the early plum blossoms" is a poem written by Lan Mao of the Ming Dynasty in "Yun Lue Yi Tong". The content of the poem is "The east wind breaks the early plum blossoms, and one branch blooms towards the warmth. No one can see the ice and snow, and spring comes from the sky."

What is very clever about this poem is that it includes all nineteen initial consonants in the Mandarin of the Ming Dynasty. The extra one is "一", which has only finals but no initial consonants.

One poem solved the problem of initial consonants.

Another example is that the words "Che", "Zhe", and "She" are pronounced as cha, zha, and sha, but they are different from the other voices of fork, 揸, and sha.

I can’t figure out this pronunciation just by reading books, but the retroflex sounds in ancient Chinese dialects are actually divided into two sets. The set of fork, 揸, and sh is the same as the current Mandarin zh, ch, and sh, but the set of ch, zh, and she is It's called "lingual sound", similar to the English Jeep. The pronunciation positions of J and SH in Sheep only need to be expressed, and it is actually very obvious.

As for the rhyme finals, we start from the nineteen parts of "Ci Lin Zheng Yun", among which the rhymes such as the sixth person Chen Yun en, the thirteen heart invasion rhyme em, the fifteen house Wo rhyme uk, the seventeen quality Xi rhyme ik and other rhymes are written in Cantonese. It's easy to explain.

As for the third micro-rhyme, the ninth slope rhyme, and the seventh preverbal rhyme, Hakka is very good.

Such as the rhyme of Wujiza, which can even come from Peking Opera, such as the "street" in "Su San left Hongdong County and came to the main street". If you listen carefully, you will find the very clear pronunciation of "iai".

Mainland China's research on phonology has been concentrated in a few major universities for a long time. Unfortunately, these major universities are basically northern universities. There are natural disadvantages in using the existing northern languages ​​to study ancient Chinese. Therefore, for a long time, mainland phonology research has lagged behind Taiwan, where Hokkien and Hakka are used as a reference, and Hong Kong, where Cantonese is used as a reference.

If you want a professor who can only speak Mandarin and can't even pronounce it to teach students to understand Ci Lin's Nineteen Rhymes, it's almost a fantasy.

The thoughtful solution is to popularize a few special poems in the class. These poems can be read in Cantonese or Hakka with obvious phonological characteristics. For example, read "Man Jiang Hong" by Yue Fei in Cantonese and "Man Jiang Hong" in Gusu dialect. Du Mu's "Cardamom shoots in early February" and "It's better to roll up the bead curtain" almost immediately solved the obstacles in the students' learning.

"It's very good, you put your heart into it." Mr. Gu expressed his appreciation for Zhou Zhi and said with emotion: "It seems that it's not that the students can't learn it, but that the teacher's teaching method is not good enough."

"Actually, the dialects from both north and south are our precious cultural heritage, but it takes a lot of effort to master them."

"Yes." Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "Even so, it can only solve the phonological problem after the Song Dynasty. If we want to continue to push forward, this little effort is still not enough."

"However, I still insist on my own point of view, that is, the ancient pronunciation method studied by several scholars today, I think is wrong."

"Why is it wrong?"

"Because poetry is music without scales, it is first and foremost beautiful." Zhou Zhi said: "Even if we don't understand Tibetan, when we listen to Master Tenzin reciting "Danjur", we can easily understand the phonology. A sense of beauty; a person who does not understand English can also feel the beauty of Shakespeare's "King Lear" when listening to European and American actors."

"Now they say that they have derived the ancient phonology, but when they use it to recite the Book of Songs, it is like tearing down the erhu through a rotten window. Doesn't this make the ancients angry to death?"

"Hehehehehe..." Mr. Gu seemed to feel that Zhou Zhi had expressed his feelings, and he smiled a little gloatingly. However, he was a master of music and could not express his opinions at will. It would be easy for people to misunderstand, and it might also affect Zhou Zhi: "Then how do you think this dispute should be resolved?"

"I think we still need to look for traces of ancient phonology in today's various dialects." Zhou Zhi said: "At least these phonology are still in use. At least it is natural, reasonable, and conforms to the natural logic of phonology."

"This requires rewriting the teaching materials and even the methods." Mr. Gu pondered.

"Yes, we need a set of video or at least audio teaching materials." Zhou Zhi said: "This problem cannot be solved by relying on paper materials. It is also the fundamental issue of phonology controversy for thousands of years."

"Actually, this is also the problem with ancient Chinese mathematics. It lacks a mathematical symbol system and it is really difficult to express mathematical problems in Chinese characters. The information carrying capacity of Chinese is much worse than professional mathematical formulas in this regard."

"But problems are meant to be solved, and judging from recent practice with classmates, it doesn't seem to be difficult."

"I leave this question to you," Mr. Gu said, "You young people are so smart."

"I'm going to put the audio material on the school's forum." Zhou Zhi said, "But I'm afraid it won't work for me to read it. Wen Xin or Yijia will have to read it. The voice is pleasant, and the image is not bad."

"But Grandpa Shi, have we strayed from the topic? The exam is about to begin. It's the 18th exam. Shouldn't you be worried that I won't pass the exam?"
