She followed Chu Zhongtian to the desk.
Then, a piece of paper with a line of words on it came into view:
The order of Chinese characters does not affect reading.
Chu Zhongtian laughed.
"Master Li, please read this. This is the example sentence given by the talented scholar who solved your problem."
Li Qingcha: ￣□￣｜｜
Hey!
Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck!
Ten thousand grass and mud horses galloped past in my heart.
In the imperial city, the seventh prince was copying books in his bedroom.
Suddenly, his nose started to itch.
"Ah!"
Accidentally, the brush touched the paper, leaving a large pool of ink.
The Seventh Prince's face darkened.
"Damn! This page is useless!"
Chapter 396 "The Tadpole Looking for Its Mother"
A faint smile appeared on Chu Zhongtian's face.
Genius is easily broken, the moon waxes and wanes,
Li Qingcha has infinite talent that ordinary people cannot even dream of, but it is not necessarily a good thing for him to have such a reputation at such a young age.
Perhaps, if someone could crack his problem, it would help him wake up.
"Master Li, how is it?"
Li Qingcha was speechless, trying not to show any emotion.
"good."
"Ah? Not bad?"
"Yeah, it's good."
"Is this the end?"
"Master Chu, it is indeed not easy for this person to know what I am thinking."
Isn't this nonsense?
This person is Li Qingcha himself!
She was almost unable to bear the awkwardness.
At this moment, the sound of Wei Xian's arrival came from outside, easing the awkwardness in the room.
Chu Zhongtian asked someone to welcome Wei Xian into the house.
When Wei Xian saw Li Qingcha, he immediately bowed and said, "Mr. Siwei, we haven't seen each other for a long time. I was thinking of asking you about some of the contents of "Han Jia Yuan Di"~"
Li Qingcha quickly waved his hands.
"Mr. Wei, you're welcome."
The two of them exchanged greetings.
Chu Zhongtian asked someone to watch the tea, and then explained to Wei Xian the questions asked by the Zhuwang Pavilion today.
Wei Xian was stunned. He twisted his beard with two fingers of his right hand and fell into deep thought.
a long time,
"I don't understand."
He turned to Li Qingcha,
"Mr. Siwei asked this question, but is there any deeper reason?"
I didn't expect to have to explain it to them again.
Li Qingcha said: "In fact, when people read, they don't look at each word one by one, but scan in areas."
As he spoke, he looked around the room and pulled out a copy of The Analects.
"Mr. Wei can give it a try."
"Try what?"
"Stare at one word."
Wei Xian nodded and stared at a word.
He was a second-rank cultivator, and had a strong ability to judge himself and the outside world. He immediately discovered that even without using his Qi, he could see the Chinese characters on both sides of the word.
Not much, only five or six words in total, but it was exactly as Li Qingcha said -
Scan the area.
He asked, “What does this mean?”
Li Qingcha smiled and shook his head.
"Don't worry. Read the whole article again."
Wei Xian had no choice but to read as ordered.
Soon, he discovered the second thing——
When people read, they often jump across lines. When they see a sentence, because the content is common, their eyes will scan it roughly and they will subconsciously process the text automatically.
Wei Xian looked at Chu Zhongtian.
"Zhongtian, do you remember the joke that happened in the Bailu Academy's scripture factory eleven years ago?"
Chu Zhongtian understood.
At that time, there was a problem with the engraving plate used to print the calendar. On one page, "宜动土" was written as "宜土动".
Logically speaking, this error is very obvious and should be discovered and reported quickly.
But the final time was four and a half months.
This is very telling:
People understand and remember words according to certain habits.
Li Qingcha spread his hands.
"The order is obviously wrong, but it can be read correctly when reading. This shows that as long as the structure of the sentence is correct, people can often fill in the blanks... imagine the correct content. However, this imagination is not a random guess, but is based on the context. On the contrary, if a word is taken out of its context, it will become more difficult to remember, just like the question I asked today."
context……
Context…
Although they had never heard of these two words, Wei Xian and Chu Zhongtian could roughly imagine what they meant based on the context.
But what's the use?
When Chu Zhongtian saw the question Li Qingcha asked, he felt as if an electric current was running through his body, as if he had thought of something.
After returning home, Chu Anyun told him about the genius's solution, and this feeling became even stronger.
He couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
After a while,
"Master Li, what do you think is the use of this matter?"
Li Qingcha: ???
I don’t understand what the other person is thinking.
She asked tentatively, "Memory? Understanding?"
Suddenly, Chu Zhongtian widened his eyes.
He looked at Wei Xian.
The latter's eyes were as big as bells, as if he had been inspired by something.
They both said in unison: "Meng Xue!"
In ancient times, a school was a place where children received enlightenment education. The main contents taught included literacy, writing, and ethics. The textbooks used were generally "Thousand Character Classic", "Hundred Family Names", and "Three Character Classic".
Instinctively, Li Qingcha felt that something was wrong.
"Gu..."
He swallowed,
"You two, I have something else to do..."
Before he finished speaking, Wei Xian and Chu Zhongtian gave him a look.
stare--
Their eyes were extremely anxious.
Li Qingcha: “…”
"What do you want to do? Don't come over here!"
Wei Xian laughed.
"Lord Li is truly a man of great talent. He can get to the heart of a problem with just a casual thought."
Chu Zhongtian nodded.
"Confucian scholars have always wondered why Daxia's literacy rate is so low. Now that I think about it, in addition to the high prices of paper and books and the difficulty in finding a teacher, there is another very important point, which is that writing is completely different from speaking."
Li Qingcha: ￣□￣｜｜
The issue of literacy is more complicated.
At least, the two reasons Chu Zhongtian mentioned are superficial reasons. The real reason lies in the economic foundation.
But she didn't dare to say it.
If I tell them, these two old guys will probably do something unnecessary again.
Wei Xian said, "The first sentence of the Three Character Classic is 'When a person is born, his nature is good'. This sentence is hard for a child to understand."
Chu Zhongtian nodded slowly.
“To expand ‘the beginning of man’ to ‘the beginning of man’s birth’ is something that only those who are capable of understanding can do.”
"That's why it's so hard to remember this sentence, and even harder to remember the words."
"That's right, that's right."
Both of them were educated in elementary school, and they knew that most of their learning was rote memorization.
If writing is in the same format as speaking...
Literacy rates will definitely improve!
The two looked at Li Qingcha again.
hiss……
Li Qingcha took a breath of cold air, and the ominous feeling became stronger.
Chu Zhongtian said: "Master Li, how do you think elementary education should be improved?"
Li Qingcha: “…”
"Master Chu, please don't use the word 'you' to me."
"No, Lord Li deserves it."
"Absolutely not."
