Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

Xuanzang didn't know how to describe his feelings. He thought that he had gone through thousands of dangers all the way from Chang'an. After leaving the border of Tang Dynasty, it can be said that the dangers encountered were thousands of times, and finally arrived in Tianzhu, with only death in the middle. The risk is unknown.

But thinking about his experience all the time, Xuanzang knew that he was the safest when he was in the Tang Dynasty, but after leaving the Tang Dynasty, the experience of those countries in the Western Regions made him feel extremely dangerous.

But now on this map... Starting from Chang'an all the way to all the places west of the Jieri Dynasty in Tianzhu, the red land of the Tang Dynasty has been connected into one piece. That is to say, if he wants to, he can go to Datang without going abroad. The border between the Tang and Jieri dynasties was gone.

This feeling is... weird.

"General Xu, I have an unfeeling request." Xuanzang said. If he followed his original temperament, he would definitely not make the request, but now that he has this opportunity, he feels that he can advance some matters. come out.

"Master, please tell me." Xu Zheng nodded.

"It's like this. In this Nalanda Temple, it can be said that many important documents and ancient books of the entire Tianzhu since ancient times are stored here. Although these things are different from my Central Plains culture, I think that if they can be preserved, it is also a kind of value."

"And here, I think it will be destroyed by the war sooner or later, so I want to bring it back to the Tang Dynasty, and the virtuous Master Jie of Nalanda Temple also allowed me to take them away, but there is one thing, this is not the place of Jie. The territory of the Japanese Dynasty belongs to the territory of Tubo, so..." Xuanzang was somewhat embarrassed when he said this.

This is the first time he has said such a thing. Although he traveled all the way west to reach Tianzhu by alms, the most he asked for was a sip of food and a sip of water. Such behavior has surpassed that of many Buddhists. precepts.

"Of course, I will raise this matter with Zanpu of Tubo later, and I think he will agree. At that time, my personal opinion is that it is better to print all the documents here first, so that you can give This Nalanda Temple has a copy." Xu Zheng smiled and said, "In Yuzhang Port, we have related printing equipment."

"Then thank you General." Xuanzang was overjoyed immediately, he did not expect this matter to go so smoothly, it must be much better for this General Xu to come forward than him.

"It's okay, you can ask me any questions you have, Master. I'm leaving this time, and it may take a while to see Master next time." Xu Zheng said with a smile.

Xuanzang didn't get entangled, but asked some of his doubts one by one, for example, what did the letters on the new customs clearance document mean? Xu Zheng told him that it was a 26-letter alphabet invented by His Highness. Pinyin reading method is conducive to children's early learning.

Integrate the advantages of easy-to-learn phonetic characters into Huaxia characters.

After Xu Zheng finished speaking, Xuanzang was very interested in this pinyin, because he had already learned Sanskrit and was now deepening his study, so he knew exactly how important it was.

Fortunately, Xu Zheng knew this relatively well, and in the end Xu Zheng simply gave Xuanzang a book on spelling and literacy.

As for why Xu Zheng has this book...it's because...Xu Zheng was also considered half illiterate before, not to say he was illiterate, but he was also half. He was literate, but not many, and he hadn't read many books.

And now all the naval generals overseas, from generals to soldiers, have to carry out literacy activities, and this pinyin literacy is naturally supplemented for them at the first time. As a general, although Xu Zheng is not very advanced General, it is normal to have your own textbook.

Putting the book aside, Xuanzang asked about the pattern on it and the meaning of the stars. Xu Zheng told him that the patterns around the pattern represented items commonly used by scholars, farmers, businessmen and commerce to replace ordinary people. The Tai Chi Palace naturally means the royal family of the Tang Dynasty.

It means that the people of the Tang Dynasty are closely united around the royal family of the Tang Dynasty to build a prosperous new Tang Dynasty, and the five five-pointed stars also mean this, and the four small ones represent the four classes of scholars, farmers, businessmen and commerce.

After saying this, Xuanzang expressed his understanding.

After Xu Zheng left, Xuanzang couldn't wait to study this phonetic literacy book. After he finished reading it, Xuanzang was astonished. Is this also what His Highness researched?Your Highness really deserves to be a genius. Such letters have greatly reduced the difficulty for the common people and children to learn to read.

No wonder His Highness wants to spread education to the whole world. His Highness does not ask the people to be highly educated, but to let them know how to read and write will greatly enhance the convenience of life for the people.

This pinyin seems simple, but Xuanzang, who has learned Sanskrit, Persian and many other languages, knows very well that this... is difficult!Very difficult!

Of course, what Xuanzang didn't know was that the pinyin has gone through nearly 360 years of evolutionary research in history before it reached its current state, and what Li Ke directly produced is the finished product, can it not be strong?

In the original history, as early as the seventeenth century, during the Ming Dynasty, in order to learn Chinese characters, many famous missionaries in other countries in the world began to find ways to phoneticize Chinese characters, from the earliest Italian missionary Matteo Ricci to the French The missionary Jin Nige perfected the way of phoneticizing Chinese characters.

In the ensuing 300 years, the phonetic notation method invented by these two people has been widely spread in the West, providing a way for Westerners to learn Chinese characters.It was not until the end of the Qing Dynasty and the period of the Republic of China, when the national power was weak and the country had to start learning foreign languages, that similar phonetic schemes began to flow into the country.

Subsequently, a large number of scholars demonstrated, discussed, and finally improved the several plans of Pinyin. In the 60s, the final plan was passed, and the final plan of modern Pinyin was completed based on 26 English letters and phonetic symbols.

Without the two or three hundred years of continuous transmission and learning, the phonetic method of Chinese characters is really not that easy.

But now Datang uses the final product, and even this letter is also called Datang alphabet. As for whether English will be born in the future, who knows?Anyway, I haven't even seen a hair in English now.

Moreover, the pinyin invented by His Highness also played a very important role in learning Chinese characters for people in other countries. After all, it is really not easy for countries around Datang to learn Chinese characters, and it is even more difficult to popularize them.

Xu Zheng, who had bid farewell to Xuanzang, was a little emotional. He didn't expect that the master's thinking was somewhat similar to that of His Highness. Among the tasks His Highness gave them was to collect various documents from various regions such as Tianzhu and Persia.

His Highness did not say what to do with these things, but only said that these documents should be used to fully understand the history of civilization in these areas, so as to prevent them from being destroyed by war.
