Chapter 8: Chinese Pinyin

That's right, the way Lu Bu wanted to improve his reputation was the Chinese pinyin and dictionary.

While studying in modern times, Lu Bu deeply felt the benefits of a Xinhua dictionary.

I believe that if a dictionary can be released in this era, it will inevitably benefit all scholars.

Of course, Lu Bu couldn't do this himself, and his knowledge was far from reaching.

Even if you can achieve Lu Bu, you won’t do such time-consuming and laborious things.

Lu Bu is now trying to invite Cai Yong to do this, and he gained fame in this matter. Lu Bu firmly believes that this is a win-win situation, and I believe that Cai Yong can't refuse it.

Sure enough, after listening to Lu Bu’s thoughts, Cai Yong’s eyes lit up.

"If this method is really available, it will definitely be a blessing for poor people in the world. Even if you can't afford to hire a teacher, you can learn by yourself with a dictionary."

Xun Yu couldn't help but exclaim: "Yes, this is definitely a good idea. If this dictionary can be compiled into it, it will definitely be remembered forever!"

Xun Yu said something to the point. What do literati want? It's just a name behind him. Now there is a ready-made opportunity to be remembered forever. Who is not moved by all the literati present?

Lu Zhi couldn't help but ask anxiously: "Fengxian, the pronunciation of the characters is extremely abstract. Do you really have a way to mark the pronunciation? I wonder what the method is, can you tell me?"

Lu Bu smiled slightly and said, "I call this method Chinese pinyin, can I write it out now."

"Yes, yes, please wait for a moment."

Soon someone put paper and pen on Lu Bu's desk. Lu Bu picked up the pen and wrote it, wrote down twenty-six Chinese pinyin one by one, and pronounced it with Chinese characters below.

Then there are the initial vowels, which Lu Bu listed one by one and were decorated with Chinese characters.

As soon as Lu Bu started writing, everyone at the scene stood up and stood behind Lu Bu, looking at the paper curiously.

After writing, Lu Bu pointed to the Chinese pinyin on the paper and introduced: "My set of Chinese pinyin is composed of twenty-six letters. This is the initial consonant, which is the final consonant. The initial consonant plus the final consonant can mark the pronunciation of all Chinese characters. The Chinese characters below are the pronunciations of these Chinese pinyin."

Next, Lu Bu read these pronunciations again: "Ah, Bo, you have a few guests..."

Looking at the strange symbols in front of you and the weird pronunciation, all the literati on the scene frowned.

Just these ghost-like things can really mark the pronunciations of all Chinese characters? Why do they look so unreliable?

Isn't this Fengxian a liar?

Cai Yong couldn't help but ask: "Fengxian, can your Chinese pinyin really mark the pronunciations of all Chinese characters?"

Lu Bu smiled confidently and said, "Mr. Cai, you might as well give it a try. Write a word to see if I can mark its pronunciation."

Not bad, I will experiment on the spot and I will know whether it will be successful or not.

Cai Yong now took up his pen and wrote a word "chang".

Lu Bu immediately put up his pen and marked:chang.

After marking, Lu Bu found the corresponding initial vowel from the initials and finals, and then explained: "The initials are for food, and the finals are for Ang. When they are connected, they are for food-Ang-Chang!"

The initials and finals are marked with Chinese characters in advance and cannot be faked. Everyone present tried to spell it out. Although it was a little difficult to pronounce, it was indeed possible to get the pronunciation of this character.

Can it really happen?

Everyone at the scene was excited. Lu Zhi immediately picked up his pen and wrote the word Liu and asked, "What about this?"

Lu Bu quickly marked it and explained: "liu, it's right------Liu!"

Everyone compared the initial vowel table, and it was indeed the case, and they couldn't help but become even more excited.

Xun Yu picked up his pen and wrote the word Hong.

Lu Bu marked it well and read it: "hong, drink———————————————————————————————————L”

Really done!

The people present could not contain their inner joy, and everyone excitedly picked up their pen and wrote multiple Chinese characters.

Lu Bu marked them one by one and correctly spelled out the pronunciation.

Until the experiment was conducted for hundreds of words, Lu Bu's voice was almost hoarse, and the literati on the scene stopped the inspection.

Because they have confirmed that the Chinese pinyin is really good!

Great, really great!

Cai Yong was so excited that he couldn't hold on to himself. He even bowed to Lu Bu and said respectfully: "I thanked Fengxian for all the scholars in the world!"

After Cai Yong, others saluted Lu Bu and said, "We thank all the scholars in the world for Fengxian!"

Lu Bu hurriedly stood up from the ground, avoiding everyone's salutes and giving them a lot of salutes.

Ma Richan sighed: "There is no need to be like this in Fengxian. Fengxian's set of Chinese pinyin has made no less contribution to mankind than the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors!"

Yang Biao also sighed: "Yes, Suiren guides humans to use fire, Shennong tries hundreds of medicines for humans, Fuxi creates Fuxi Bagua! Now Fengxian has created the Chinese pinyin, which allows everyone in the world to have the opportunity to learn. Such merits will directly catch up with the ancestors!"

Lu Bu hurriedly said modestly: "You are a senior, I really can't afford to take it!"

Cai Yong said seriously: "You don't have to be too humble in Fengxian, you should be completely satisfied! By the way, I wonder if Fengxian's dictionary is completed?"

Lu Bu bowed to Cai Yong and said, "Mr. Cai, Fengxian came here for this matter. Although Fengxian created the Chinese pinyin, Fengxian was very talented and knowledgeable about compiling dictionaries, so he was difficult to take on such a heavy responsibility. Therefore, Fengxian's meaning is to ask Mr. Cai to work hard and shoulder this heavy responsibility. I hope Mr. Cai can agree!"

Cai Yong laughed and said, "It is a blessing for Fengxian to be able to respect me. Since Fengxian has requested me, I will take it as my own!"

Seeing Cai Yong agreeing, Ma Richan, Lu Zhi and Yang Biao became anxious on the spot.

Ma Richan immediately said, "Although I am not talented, I still have to contribute my own strength. I just want to add my name to the editorial quota."

This is a peerless opportunity to be remembered forever. Is that literati willing to miss it?

Lu Zhi and Yang Biao also expressed their willingness to do their best to add their own names to the editorial quota.

As for the younger generation, whether they lack reputation or are unwilling to waste their good years on such tedious things, no one speaks out.

Cai Yong couldn't help asking Lu Bu: "Fengxian, the name of this dictionary is worse than named Lu Bu Dictionary, and the Chinese pinyin is named Lu Bu Pinyin. I wonder if our names can be listed on it?"

Lu Bu hurriedly said, "No!"

Cai Yong, Lu Zhima Richan and Yang Biao's faces were dark and said, "I'm greedy!"

Yes, why should people give it to others when they are so famous?
Chapter completed!
