Chapter 146 Font Library (seeking various tickets)
Yue Shan knew that he did have a little talent for writing, and he was complacent about it, but he was definitely not arrogant enough to think that he could stand shoulder to shoulder with the book saint.

Pei Ju's father and daughter praised it so much, the gratitude must have been exaggerated, and he naturally wouldn't take it seriously.

"I'll talk about the calligraphy later, you guys read the content of the book first." Yue Shan didn't want to continue the topic of calligraphy, so he changed the subject.

"Okay." Only then did Pei Ju reluctantly put down the font, and began to pay attention to what was written in the textbook.Because of the words, he has a third more interest and expectation in this book.

"Huh?" When he really saw what was written on it, he was stunned: "What is this?"

"Pinyin letters..." Yue Shan explained the usage of the letters to him again, and then saw Pei Ju's expression change from doubt to surprise to surprise, and finally to shock.

This feeling filled him with a sense of accomplishment.

"Qieyun?" Pei Ju immediately thought of the book listed as the textbook of the Imperial College, but immediately shook his head in denial: "With this letter, Qieyun can be discarded. I thought it could be called rhythm."

Prosody refers to the level and rhyme rules of poetry, and also refers to the rhythm of sound.Pei Ju said that the pinyin letters are rhythms, which means that they have mastered the rules of spoken pronunciation.This kind of praise cannot be added.

This time, Yue Shan was no longer humble. No one knew the greatness of the Pinyin alphabet better than him from later generations, and no praise could be overstated.So he just smiled and didn't speak.

Pei Ju didn't make any comments on the content of the language book, and Yue Shan was not disappointed either.The following content is an excerpt of classic fragments, and there is nothing to say.

It can be said that the most quintessential part of the first Chinese book is the chapter on the alphabet, as long as this section is attractive enough.

Pei Shuying, who was on the side, also opened the textbook in her hand to see the content.However, what she took happened to be a mathematics textbook, and she couldn't understand the content very well, so she couldn't tell the good from the bad, so she turned a few pages and put it down.

Hearing that my father praised the thing called the pinyin alphabet so much, my curiosity arose.However, due to etiquette constraints, she did not dare to stretch her head indiscriminately, so she could only sit aside and worry.

When Yue Shan and Pei Ju were discussing the usage of Pinyin, she held her breath and pricked up her ears to listen, and finally got a little understanding of Pinyin.

But just what she knew shocked her, she couldn't believe it.

How many characters are used in Datang?She doesn't know, but there must be many, many.Not to mention spoken language, the Central Plains claims that three miles have different sounds and ten miles have different tones, that is not an exaggeration.The number of spoken words is many times greater than the number of literal numbers.

A person can't master all these things in his whole life, let alone sum up the rules and summarize all the sounds into dozens of letters... It's hard to imagine how it can be done.

It should be known that although Qie Yun, which was praised by Pei Ju, was written by Lu Fayan, in fact he was only the person who wrote the pen, and eight famous scholars including Yan Zhitui, Liu Zhen, and Lu Sidao actually participated in the audition.

These eight people are from the north and the south, and the mutual communication was finally based on the lower pronunciation of Biluo, and the final version of Qieyun was finalized after referring to the dialect system with a large number of users.

But Qieyun still uses Chinese characters to mark Chinese characters, but it puts Chinese characters with the same pronunciation together, as long as you can read another one, you can even guess what it is.

The most groundbreaking thing about it is that it marks the tone of each character. Ping, Shang, Go, and Enter are the two tones, two tones, three tones and four tones of later generations.

But it is still too complicated, and people without a certain literary foundation can't understand it.

The phonetic alphabet is different. It summarizes the human voice into dozens of letters, and then the letters are combined according to certain rules to form the words we usually speak.

In theory, as long as you master these letters, even people who have never read a book can know all the characters in the world.

This is incredible and... great.

This kind of thing can only be done by the children of gods!Thinking of Yue Shan's other identity, she thought to herself.

"Thank you Mr. Pei for giving it the name, it will be called Rhythm from now on." Yue Shan said surprisingly.

"This..." Pei Ju's father and daughter looked at each other, not knowing what Yue Shan was singing.

You must know that the pinyin alphabet is destined to be recorded in the annals of history, and anyone who has a little relationship with it can use this shareholder style to leave his name in the annals of history, let alone naming it.

Yue Shan gave up the right to name, which is simply putting great benefits into his hands.This really... makes him dumbfounded.

Yes, dumbfounding.

For ordinary people, this is a great favor, but for a person of Pei Ju's status, it is a bit tasteless.Because he was already destined to be recorded in the annals of history, taking this naming right was just icing on the cake.

Even, if he was the kind of Confucian with strong self-esteem, he would still feel that Yue Shan was insulting him.

Yue Shan naturally understands this, but he really thinks that the rhythm is more pleasant than the pinyin letters, and it is more in line with the aesthetics of this era.If he could think of these two words before, he would definitely not use the name Pinyin.

But now that Pei Ju brought up these two words first, it would be really impolite if he used them silently.

Looking at the father and daughter with strange expressions, he could only give a wry smile, and said sincerely: "The pinyin alphabet is so ugly that I have always wanted to change it, but I am too young to think of a more suitable name for a while, so I can only use it temporarily. .

Just now Pei Gong said that the word "rhythm" touched my heart. I really want to use this name, so don't blame me if it is abrupt. "

Pei Ju was relieved, he believed in Yue Shan's words, so he smiled and said: "I don't know why, since this is the case, just take the name Cui Lan and use it, don't mention my name."

"No, Mr. Pei, don't rush to refuse. I have a plan. If you want to refuse, it won't be too late after I finish speaking." Yue Shan said.

"Oh? Please tell me." Pei Ju said with great interest.

"I want to compile a character library." Yue Shan said.

"Font library?" Pei Ju asked suspiciously.

"Pei Gong should know that in my Central Plains, three miles have different sounds and five miles have different tones. The same word has dozens of pronunciations, so only rhyme is not very useful. You must also have a book that is similar to Qieyun as a standard. Only in this way can the world be promoted." Yue Shan explained:

"The font library I am talking about is to imitate Qieyun and collect the world's characters with pinyin letters for phonetic notation. At the same time, we must explain the origin, evolution process and meaning of this character."

Yue Shan gave a general description of the functions of the later dictionaries, especially the method of searching characters based on pinyin and radicals.

"I don't know if Mr. Pei is willing to accept the position of editor-in-chief and be responsible for the compilation of the font library?" Although Pei Ju's excited expression already explained everything, Yue Shan still asked politely.

　Please take care of me on the first day when it was put on the shelves. Today, I just sit in front of the computer and type, write a few chapters and post a few chapters.But at least no less than five chapters and [-] words.

　　Look at my performance, please vote more
