Liu Xing couldn't help looking at Miyoko Hojo, a Japanese who has always been obsessed with Chinese cuisine. What kind of essence is this?Under normal circumstances, isn't Japan always improving the micro-innovation of what China has learned into Japanese characteristics?

For example, after Japan learned Chinese characters, it got inspiration from radicals and cursive scripts, created katakana, and mixed katakana with Chinese characters, forming a Japanese customary system.

As far as the characters created by the Chinese character system of Asian countries are concerned, Japanese is actually quite mature and successful.

In other areas such as North Korea and South Korea, the ancient scholar-officials all used Chinese. In the 15th century, Hanwen with phonetic letters was created for phonetic representation.

Modern Korea is a bit corrupt, and even tried to de-Chinese characters, using Hangeul, which is like the phonetic alphabet, as the text.

This has caused many people in South Korea to fail to understand even their country's historical documents.

Hangeul is not as good as Japanese katakana, with such half-baked phonograms, and trying to keep removing more and more Chinese characters, which leads to poor reading comprehension and even listening skills of Koreans.

Vietnam also used Chinese characters several times in ancient times, but the Vietnamese insisted on using the local Vietnamese language for phonetic representation and Chinese characters for meaning, calling it "Nangzi".

The pronunciation of "Nangzi" is the language of the Vietnamese, but the literal meaning is the same as that of Chinese characters.

This makes it very difficult for native Vietnamese to learn Nom.

And after learning it, I can't use it well to communicate.

After Vietnam was occupied by France in later generations, the abolition of "Nanzi" was more of a factor, that is, "Nanzi" was the most failed Chinese-derived character, and it could neither communicate with other Chinese character system countries in spoken language (written can be communicated) , Vietnamese natives are also very troublesome to learn.

As a result, abandoning "Nangzi" and starting to use the alphabet introduced by the French colonists is more conducive to learning culture than "Nangzi".

Of course, the shortcomings are also obvious. The artificial alphabet makes the Vietnamese separated from the ancient cultural and historical inheritance, even more serious than the Koreans.

Ultimately, at the level of Chinese characters, Japan should be the best student of Chinese culture.

Not only has Chinese characters been learned and used flexibly, but also katakana suitable for its native land has been added. Katakana looks awkward, but in fact, it evolved from the cursive script of the radicals of Chinese characters.

In essence, Katakana is still a quasi-Chinese character created according to the rules of Chinese characters.

At the same time, the Japanese did not abandon Chinese characters confidently, and replaced them with self-created katakana.

In fact, Chinese characters have always accounted for more than 50% of Japanese written text. For government documents and news events that need to accurately express the meaning of words, the proportion of Chinese characters used will be even higher.

Sometimes, more solemn texts are all written in Chinese characters, or more than [-]% of the entire text is in Chinese characters, which is normal.

Until modern times, Japan's history and culture were not deeply separated from the orthodox history of the Chinese cultural circle.

The Chinese say Journey to the West, but Japan knows it. Japan is second only to mainland China in the film and television animation adaptation of Journey to the West.

Most of the Japanese know what the Chinese say about Water Margin.

The Chinese say the Three Kingdoms, and the Japanese probably know more about the history of the Three Kingdoms than the Chinese.

Basically, Japan regards a lot of Chinese history and culture as common sense, because in ancient Japan, it has long been the licking dog of Chinese culture.

In ancient China, as the center of cultural prosperity, high-ranking women naturally didn't care too much about the movements of a few little licking dogs nearby.



Chapter 81 I thought it was Hojo, but it was actually Tazuo (second update, ask for the blade)

After the Internet era, especially since 2016, some Japanese have surprisingly discovered that removing all katakana and using only Chinese characters in sentences can express the meaning of everything, and can also make most Japanese netizens understand the meaning.

This kind of writing that only uses Chinese characters and removes the katakana in the sentence is called "pseudo-Chinese".

Grammar and word habits are strange to Chinese people, but the strange thing is... the pseudo-Chinese language created by a small number of Japanese netizens, not only the Japanese themselves can understand the meaning, but most of the sentences can also be read by Chinese netizens For example, Japanese netizens wrote the sentence "I want to touch the thigh of a high school girl" written in pseudo-Chinese. Although it looks a bit strange, the mood and meaning of the writer are clearly visible.

Japanese netizens can understand it, and Chinese netizens also have a sense of superiority that Chinese has never been imitated, never surpassed.

That is to say, if all Asian countries had not given up the Chinese character writing system, in fact, people from all over the world could realize that they would not speak at all and communicate purely with Chinese characters.

Even the barriers to communication are much smaller than the barriers to communication in alphabetic scripts for people in Europe who use different Latin alphabet languages.

Of course, most countries and regions that once promoted Chinese characters in ancient times have given up using them in modern history.

Only China, Japan, South Korea and East Asia are left, and they can barely revise the Chinese character dictionary commonly used in the Chinese character culture circle, and explain the ambiguity of some words in the three countries.

This is the awesomeness of Chinese characters. Chinese characters are more influential and practical than imagined by many people. They have been an international lingua franca for thousands of years in ancient times.

Even though the influence of Chinese characters has declined a lot after the Industrial Revolution, it is still a very strong language in the world.

"Okay!" Liu Xing nodded and said, "I'm going to add bamboo noodles for breakfast, and I'll press the noodles with a bamboo pole. After pressing, how about you rolling and cutting the noodles? And now, can you help me cook the noodles?" Does the market buy fresh ingredients? Here's the purchase order..."

"Huh?" Miyoko Hojo couldn't help being taken aback.

"Is it not possible?" Liu Xing said feeling very confused.

"Yes!" Kitajo Miyoko gritted her teeth and said, "Leave it to me!"

"Hey, the battery car key." Liu Xing said, "...???"

"I purchased a lot of ingredients, and it's too tiring to carry them back. It's more convenient to use a battery car." Liu Xing kindly handed the key to Miyoko Kitajo, "Although it looks a bit broken, the battery has just been replaced with a new one, and it's still good. use."

"No...my physical strength is very good!" Miyoko Hojo looked at the car key and refused to accept it as if she saw a terrible poisonous snake... Because Miss Hojo doesn't know how to drive a battery car!

Afraid of being discovered by Liu Xing, she couldn't even drive a battery car, so she refused repeatedly.

Afterwards, Liu Xing didn't even take the wallet that Liu Xing handed over, and ran out to buy in a hurry!

"Huh?" Liu Xing couldn't help but feel very speechless, "I have to reconcile and reimburse when I come back!"

After running out of Liu Xing's line of sight, Kitajo Miyoko clenched her fists: "Is it buying ingredients? Just wait and see, I'll definitely surprise you!"
