That night, Gao Hanwen was busy with his disciples, while Xu Youzhi was busy with phonetic notation of Chinese characters.
Although it has been clarified, Chinese characters lack monophone vocabulary, which leads to the problem that they are not suitable for phonetic notation at all. But you have to find an appropriate phonetic symbol.
I have seen various types of letter symbols written by Lai Zongqi in daily life, as well as a long string of letter symbols representing the form of a word. It is obvious that Thai and Western symbols are easier to correspond to phonemes one by one.
Xu Youzhi immediately decided to borrow Thai and Western symbols. Now that it is needed, it is renamed the alphabet symbol. Before, the whole house called it the ghost symbol.
At night, Mr. Lai came back in high spirits. Xu Youzhi naturally invited him to come to the empty duty room of the front office for advice. Because Shen Yiguan and Zhu Geng were still discussing in the backyard study.
Fortunately, there was not much drinking at the nightclub, so Lai Zongqi was relatively conscious now. One by one, he wrote down the letters of the Latin alphabet, Italian subscript, English, and Germanic script, and taught the pronunciation five or six times.
If Xu Youzhi hadn't been so smart and knew how to mark near-sounding Chinese characters, he wouldn't have been able to do it for three or four days.
General Lai’s help, how should I put it, is basically never free. The price for helping this time is naturally the teaching materials. Lai Zongqi continued the standard Ming Dynasty Mandarin teaching materials to facilitate his own and future promotion of teaching Chinese as a foreign language.
Lai Zongqi, who has a sailing background, is now very courageous. Hao Jing Ao and Macau have already removed him from the list. Even if he goes back, he has no savings before going back, so he will be completely broke. Now these people plan to create a trade that bypasses the Arabs in Central Asia and reaches Western Europe. Although I helped as a temporary translator, I wanted to get a share of this exclusive trade, which was a bit delusional. This can be seen from the fact that my partner has opened a store in Hangzhou for more than a month, but he only invites him to dinner and keeps silent about the business. Fortunately, I got help from Eunuch Yang to buy equipment.
But now there are too few people who can speak both Chinese and Thai, and they are in urgent need of learning.
As long as you take the lead, you will need to continuously cultivate talents for all future transactions and national exchanges between the two parties, and you will have to ask yourself to do contract text format appraisal for all kinds of contracts.
Wouldn’t it be nice to be an intermediary for plucking geese? Eat the East and the West, eat both ends. Just let those people who don't care about their lives earn money by selling their lives.
Xu Youzhi just dealt with the printing difficulties first. It is true that printing is difficult at this time. Later, General Lai was muttering something about Gutenberg. Xu Youzhi passed by without paying any attention. It is still quite troublesome to listen to the Chiang Rai General Flag's speech, and I can't hear clearly even if I am relaxed.
Gao Hanwen, after finishing his disciple's affairs, Zhu Xiaoyou had just left when Xu Youzhi knocked on the door. It's obviously been a while.
This is also the first time I have seen these pinyin characters from the medieval period. Gao Hanwen also had a headache. Because these letters have no English letters that later generations will come into contact with.Clean and refreshing.
So, in the first step, Gao Hanwen removed the dots on the letters. It suddenly looks much cleaner.
Then we work together to sort out Chinese morphemes.
But this matter is a bit troublesome, because Xu Youzhi’s Mandarin is not that standard. The Mandarin of the Ming Dynasty is more like the Southwest Mandarin of later generations. The typical one is Sichuan dialect, but it is also a little different.
Gao Hanwen, who was born in Dazhou, Sichuan in later generations, barely has an advantage, but since there was a voice in ancient times, Yang Jinshui probably had to help with this. Now the people with the highest level of Mandarin in Hangzhou City probably have to count on Yang Jinshui and a series of other eunuchs who came from the palace.
Fortunately, the list of commonly used words summarized by Hai Rui was also copied and reported. On this basis, Gao Hanwen summarized the morpheme classification of Mandarin and chose the English letters abcd as a clear morpheme identifier. Of course, above the tones of the prime letters, the four tones are added. It’s really satisfying to finally be able to combine the two or three sounds that Sichuan people are not good at. Long and short sounds are marked with a colon after the prime letters. Light and stressed sounds are marked below the morpheme letters, and dots are used to indicate stressed pronunciation.
After doing this, it was already early in the morning. Gao Hanwen had to leave the subsequent work of dismantling phonemes word by word and annotating phonetic symbols to Xu Youzhi and fell asleep.
