Chapter 25

Li Buqi said that he would take Lian Guangzhi to find a teacher, and the two went out and walked on the street. Lian Guangzhi asked Li Buqi who the teacher he wanted to find was.Li Buqi said: "Ding Du, a scholar of the Imperial Academy, is Ding Gongya."

"It turned out to be him. Ding Xueshi is a university student, how do you know Ding Xueshi?"

In the fourth year of Dingdu Dazhong Xiangfu (1011), he won the second place in the "Fuqin Ci Subject" examination. He was awarded Dali Temple as a judge and later Zhijixian Academy.In the fourth year of Jingyou (1037), he and Li Shu published "Yun Lue" under the imperial edict, and later the book was renamed "Rhyme of the Ministry of Rites".This book is equivalent to the dictionary compiled by the official of the Song Dynasty, and it is a must for scientific examinations, so he has a good reputation among scholars.

However, Li Buqi and Ding Du have never met. He decided to find Ding Du as his teacher only because he heard about Ding Du when he was in the portrait of a wealthy family.He also heard that Ding Du was devoted to learning and had no interest in speculation. He guessed that this person would not be easily influenced by Han Qi, so he decided to study with Ding Du.

Of course, this kind of scholar has a lot of requirements for the selection of students. People like Li Buqi, who came from a forbidden army family, and Lian Guangzhi, who lack talent, may not be as good as Ding Du, but Liu Zhiwei is very sure that Ding Du Teach yourself, and you don't need to ask a teacher, just exchange your knowledge for Ding Du's knowledge.

Li Buqi said to Lian Guangzhi: "I don't know Xueshi Ding, and no one recommends it. Therefore, it takes so much to get Xueshi Ding to accept us..."

Finally he said: "I have sent a post to the Ding Mansion in your name, so don't screw up your acting."

Lian Guangzhi didn't take it seriously: "It takes so much trouble to ask for a teacher, you put too much thought into it."

If you don't put more thought into it, it won't work. If you don't deal with the future prime minister, you will die in an ugly way.

Arriving at the gate of Ding's residence, Lian Guangzhi told them their first and last names, and Ding Du had ordered the door to bring the two of them to the living room to serve tea immediately. Ding Du's son, Ding Xie, came out to accompany him.Ding Xie was also proficient in poetry. Seeing that Lian Guangzhi was a scholar, he began to talk about poetry with Lian Guangzhi, but after a few words, he lost interest and started talking about painting with Li Buqi.Li Buqi secretly sighed: It seems that even Guangzhi's level is worrying.

Not long after, Ding Du came out from inside, and after the two saluted, Ding Du looked at Li Buqi first: "This is Hei Saburo who is famous in the capital now? Your 'long long long long long long long long long long' But everyone knows about it. It is said that the characters you draw can walk out of the paper. Even His Majesty has heard of your name. The old man is going to Daxiangguo Temple to see your masterpiece when he is waiting for a rest. Let's see what kind of person can draw such extraordinary paintings, I don't want to meet you at home, but let the old man fulfill his wish first."

Li Buqi bowed and said: "Scholars don't need to listen to the nonsense of the people outside. The kid just got a wandering old man to teach him how to draw the characters, that's all."

Ding Du laughed, and then asked Lian Guangzhi: "You said that there is a knowledge that is related to the future of Shaanxi students. I don't know what it is. If I can help, I will definitely help."

Lian Guangzhi hurriedly leaned back and said: "About a bachelor's degree is the study of exegesis. Nowadays, when you take a scholar's examination for school poetry and prose, you can't avoid using rhyme, but my Shaanxi people's language is quite different from the official dialect. This rhyme is often inaccurate. Every subject All of them lost their reputation because of losing their rhymes. Just like students, who grew up in a remote place and lacked the teachings of famous teachers and Confucians, and only realized that the rhymes they used were inaccurate after they arrived in the capital."

Ding Du said: "Then I will give you a set of "Rhymes of the Ministry of Rites". If you study it yourself, you will definitely benefit from it."

Lian Guangzhi said: "Students have also carefully studied this "Rhyme of the Ministry of Rites", but the phonetic notation in "Rhyme" uses the fanqie method except for the straight phonetic method, using the sound of a word and the rhyme of a word to form a third The sound of the first two characters. But the student can't read the rhyme of the first two characters correctly, even if he takes the book, he can't read the character he wants to learn."

Ding Xi raised his eyebrows: "Since ancient times, phonetic notation has been done like this. Since you came to the capital, you should study Mandarin with your heart, and you will be able to read it correctly in a year or so."

Lian Guangzhi said: "It's just that the students are worried about the many students in their hometown. Not everyone marches to the capital for a study tour. Many people only realize that their rhyme has been wrong all along after the exam."

Ding Du sighed and said: "The old man also knows that this is also a difficulty. In some places, even the school teachers can't read the rhyme correctly. How can the students be able to read it correctly? The old man didn't think of a good way to do this."

Lian Guangzhi immediately said: "The students just think this is very difficult. A few days ago, I heard that the brothers of the Li family have a solution, so I couldn't help being ecstatic. It's just that the students think that this method needs to be perfected by a wise person, so they take the liberty to ask for a bachelor's degree." I ask the bachelors to perfect this method to benefit the students all over the world."

Both Ding Du and Ding Xi looked at Li Buqi, "What is the solution?"

Li Buqi said, "The old man who taught me the painting method traveled in the West and saw that the characters used by the Daqin people and the big cannibals there only indicate pronunciation, and all the characters are arranged in a few combinations of less than thirty letters. These less than [-] letters represent all the sounds in their language, as long as they can read these letters, they can read every word. So the grandfather thought that since the characters of my Song Dynasty can also be divided into sounds and rhymes In the two parts, can all the sounds and rhymes in my Dasong Mandarin be expressed in a similar way, so that as long as Meng Tong learns fifty or sixty symbols, he can read all the characters."

Ding Xie said, "There are so many characters in the world, how can they be represented by fifty or sixty symbols?"

Li Buqi took out a few pieces of paper from his bosom: "This is the method that the old man thought about using the letters of the Daqin people to express the pronunciation of my Chinese characters, and the boy added some more after thinking about it. Let's see if it's feasible, bachelor?"

The pronunciation of Song people is very different from that of modern Chinese, but it can still be incorporated by simple changes in pinyin, not to mention Cantonese and Fujian dialects for reference. Liu Zhiwei stayed in those two provinces for a long time when he transferred the project. Over there pinyin.

Li Buqi used Kanto pinyin as the main method to incorporate the pronunciation of Da Song into it for Ding Du to demonstrate.Ding Du is a exegesis expert, and immediately understood the superiority of this method: "This is good, this is good. As long as dozens of letters and tones are very simple, let the county school officials practice these and give them to the students. Freed from the pain of loss of rhyme."

He called another servant and said: "Go to Li Duanming (Li Shu)'s house quickly and invite him over. Just say that the old man has important matters to discuss!"

In the middle of the night, Li Buqi and Lian Guangzhicai were sent back to Crossbowmen Lane by Ding Du in a mule cart.After getting off the car at the alley, Guangzhi asked, "Why didn't you say a word about studying?"

Li Buqi smiled and said: "It will be a long time in the future. Didn't Xueshi Ding ask me to go to his house to discuss the method of pinyin? After I go, can't I take the opportunity to ask for some knowledge? By the way, you should go to those literary clubs less often. The level is too low to be of much use. It is better to seek advice from university scholars like Ding Xueshi. Even that Ding Xueshi is better than those poor people you associate with. Also, now that my brother is rich, you should stop I'm going to tell my fortune, I just concentrate on my studies, and if I get a Jinshi in the future, my brother will rely on you to support me."
