Chapter 243 Pinyin and Chinese characters

"Increase the production of parachutes!" Meng Xiang instructed.

DuPont gave a year of buffering, and within a year they may not be able to produce nylon on a large scale, at least they will not compete with the Pioneer Army for the market in stockings.

How can you not catch the huge profits at this time?

In addition, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other places fell into the hands of the Japanese, and the profits of raw silk were plundered by the Japanese. At the same time, it is also the center of China's cotton textile industry. You should know that the *** people have replaced the UK and become the world's cotton textile industry's first export in the world. Cotton products and silk products such as raw silk are the main pillars of ***'s exports.

Meng Xiang was very upset that silk products were occupied by the Japanese in the world's export mainstream.

China is the hometown of silk, and its beautiful silk products have won the reputation of the country of silk. In that era when silk is equivalent to gold, the word "Hua" in China shows its former glory, but now it allows the people to occupy the mainstream market for raw silk. Although Meng Xiang has nylon in his hands, increasing the production of nylon can suppress the Japanese's raw silk exports, Meng Xiang hopes that the Chinese silk industry can reappear the glory of the past.

Zhoucun and other places have a good foundation for raising silkworms. Silk was once famous all over the country. Although it is not as good as Jiangnan, it is a major silk town in the north.

At this time, due to the influence of the war, the silk industry declined a little, and the development of mulberry silkworms did not mean that they could develop rapidly.

"Let's start a silk school in Zhoucun, and start research on raw silk, silk industry, silk textiles, etc.!" There were once silkworm schools or forty or fifty silkworm schools in Shandong. After the impact of war, it was a bit difficult to maintain, so Meng Xiang proposed to support a special silk vocational school.

Recently, with the stability of the SAR and the gathering of various talents towards the SAR, the Jixia Academy alone can no longer meet the needs of these talents. The research-oriented schools in the Jixia Academy seem to be a little out of touch with social needs, so various vocational schools that need to be built are placed on Meng Xiang's desk. Not long ago, Meng Xiang had just established the second mechanical technical school, and also built the first chemical vocational school, the first metallurgical vocational school and the first transportation vocational school.

Unlike the basic research of Jixia Academy, these schools pay more attention to practical applications.

Meng Xiang also had a positive opinion on this. China not only needs scientists and engineers, but also senior technicians. The Germans attach great importance to vocational schools to have a large number of excellent senior technicians. It is their hard work that has created the excellent quality of German goods that is famous all over the world.

At this time, Meng Xiang also had some spare money in her pocket. After paying military pay, the extra money could be invested in education.

At this time, five normal schools have been integrated in the Special Administrative Region. Jinan, Qidu, Weifang, Tai'an and the newly integrated Qufu have one. A large number of passionate young people have received short-term training from three to six months and six months, and have supported them to popularize six years of compulsory education in the local area.

With money, Meng Xiang dared to boast about six years of compulsory education. Three years of primary school, three years of senior high school, and top students entered middle school. This is the slogan shouted by the special zone education. Meng Xiang dared to bear the investment of nearly 10 million yuan a year.

The weather was getting warmer, and fortress primary schools in various places also began to dress and paint each other, no longer the same grayish yellow color. Meng Xiangwen heard that the 100th primary school had been completed, and directly led everyone to the vicinity of Qidu to build the new fortress primary school.

"You can also try to annotate this with pinyin!" Meng Xiang was very interested in the students' textbooks at this time. When he occasionally read them, he found that the textbooks were not unified, and the learning of Chinese characters in the textbooks were all phonetic notes. He did not understand the phonetic notes at all. But as a communication in later generations, the pinyin of letters was obviously more convenient than phonetic notes.

"It turns out that the general also agrees with the pinyin of the letters. Does the general agree with the Luo Sect or the Bei La Sect?" He Siyuan, who accompanied Meng Xiang to visit the primary school in Qidu, suddenly asked.

Meng Xiang naturally didn't know what he was talking about was the dispute between the two major pinyin schools at this time.

In addition to phonetic notes, many people have also seen the convenience of using Latin letters, so they proposed a method of pinyin annotation.

The most famous of them are Zhao Yuanren's Mandarin Roman characters and the new Latinized text. One of them is called the Guoluo School and the other is called the Beila School. This Beila has received support from the Soviet Union in the north.

Meng Xiang knew nothing about this.

He smiled and said, "No matter what faction it is, it is to enable students to quickly master Chinese characters. We cannot be limited to factional disputes. I also have a plan here, let's see if it's OK!"

Years of exam-oriented education finally played a role. Meng Xiang remembered rote things in elementary school in an extremely deep way in the lesson of punishment. Later, even when he used a computer, he didn't save effort by spelling and typing.

Although the traditional Chinese characters that Meng Xiang is practicing are still a little unprofitable, the pinyin is just a little easy to use.

After asking for a few blank sheets of paper, Meng Xiang quickly listed the detailed initial vowel, tone, and some irregular changes that he couldn't remember, and carefully explained and discussed it to the surrounding pharmacist Tang, Zhou Bai, He Siyuan, Li Shuchun and others.

"The general seems to agree with the Beila Sect a little more, so the general also agrees with their Chinese character pinyinization? I think if this pinyin scheme is used for Chinese character pinyinization scheme, the frequency of repetition is too much." He Siyuan nodded and asked again.

"Chinese characters are Chinese characters. The ancestors have been passed down for thousands of years. Chinese civilization relies on Chinese characters to continue the history of the world. How can it be changed to those pinyins with only monotonous syllables?" Meng Xiang said directly. This issue has been discussed a lot in later generations. He is proud of the glory of Chinese characters, so how could he wear a Western hat again?

"Writing is the cornerstone of a civilization. If even the words are changed, then this civilization is not far from being cut off." Meng Xiang sighed, "Pinyin can only be a convenient annotation, not a fundamental one. The pictographic characteristics of Chinese characters can exceed the boundaries of regions, and make people from different sounds unite under the same civilization."

"Then in this way, it is a bit inappropriate to simplify the word "simplified"?" Zhou Bai next to him said.

"Inappropriate! It is not appropriate to force the word simplified. It can only change slowly with the development of society!" Meng Xiang directly denied.

Another time and space in Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and other places are also using traditional characters, and there are no illiterate ones. The rules of pictograms, phonograms, ideology, etc. have already made every traditional character have its origins to be traced. The manual simplification of the simplified character may immediately lose the root of the character.

This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is the inheritance of civilization.

The traditional Chinese characters are now passed down from the Qin and Han dynasties to this day. A large number of written records have been passed down, recording the long history of Chinese civilization. However, when it was changed to simplified Chinese characters, most people immediately did not recognize them. After all, the guessed characters did not mean the original meaning, and there may be a lot of ambiguity. Later people's inheritance of previous cultures was completely broken, and they could only leave some original things through word of mouth.

There are only a few experts who can explore the secrets behind those words. Most people want to understand them, but they can only be translated from traditional Chinese characters. Anyone who knows the history of China knows that once any words are sorted out, they will definitely not be the original taste.

This method is most convenient for clearing the legacy of the past life. However, after decades of the death of those old people with traditional Chinese characters, how many people can still find the old paper piles?

At this time, Meng Xiang’s support from the base’s gold fingers, and what he restored was not only the country, but the cultivation of the mentality of a great power first came from the foundation of his own unique civilization. The fragrance of the Chinese civilization is far from being covered by the taste of braids and Wennu in modern times.

So he directly rejected the statement of simplified characters, not to mention the pinyinization of Chinese characters.

He Siyuan nodded, picked up the discussed and modified pinyin plan and read it and smiled: "This plan is feasible! Now, another Meng's pinyin method is coming out!"

Meng Xiang couldn't help but feel ashamed. The psychological quality of plagiarists still needs to be covered with shamelessness to perform well.

"Where is it! This is also based on the predecessors, which inspired this. Without the pursuit of those pioneers, it is easy for future generations to surpass it."

"That's called Pioneer Pinyin, which is easy to remember and nice to remember!" Li Shuchun said with a smile. The Pioneer Army has become rich recently, and the railway he planned to lead to Laiwu is also ready to start.

With this simple and easy-to-use plan, coupled with Meng Xiang's nod and the strong promotion of the Pioneer Army, the SAR soon began to pilot this Pioneer Pinyin plan.

The new textbooks are also being compiled urgently.

Some of the old-fashioned textbooks even put forward party-state slogans that support Lao Chiang, which made Meng Xiang explain how he and the central government were asymmetry to the children who had learned these tutorials in the future.

Besides, the textbooks are not unified. After the Spring Festival, due to the shortage of funds and time and the increase in the number of children enrolled in the school, the textbooks collected from various places were all used. At this time, the next school year was about to enter, and the scale of compulsory education was getting bigger and bigger with the continuous development and publicity. The next school year was only the year of the full popularization of compulsory education in six years.

With full preparations in the past six months, the Pioneer Army has built three large printing factories, and with the help of German printing machines, the scale far exceeds that of other printing factories in the SAR.

Recently, Meng Xiang planned to build a new paper mill with the help of rich reed resources near Weishan Lake. Now he doesn't have to consider the issue of paper pollution in the environment. The Special Administrative Region has integrated more than a dozen small paper mills to form three large joint-stock companies. The Pioneer Army injects capital into it, and only distributes dividends and supervises finance, and does not participate in specific management. However, with the support of the Pioneer Army, he still directly squeezes other small paper mills produced by the ** to the side. Without the drag of the pension and retirement rating system, large enterprises often save costs more than small enterprises.

With paper and printing equipment, printing a large number of newspapers are often printed, and leaflets are much more convenient. The most fundamental guarantee for the textbooks for the next school year.

"Don't worry, we will never delay!" Luo Dongcheng smiled and sent the staff of the SAR Management Committee. After this public bidding for textbook printing and procurement, with his good reputation over the years, his printing factory was the only small printing factory to win the bid outside the three large printing factories. This made him very happy.

It is very reassuring to deal with the Pioneer Army. Although they have strict quality requirements, they never default on money. Although they pay the checks from Taiping Bank, they can withdraw cash at any time. The recent rise in copper prices in the outside world has made the big copper round more popular.

"You can rest assured about our quality. The local newspapers in Ta Kung Pao are printed in our factory." Xu Houzhong, the owner of the five winning printing factories and another larger printing factory, also made a note to the staff of the Special Committee with a smile.

With the successive victory of the Pioneer Army, major domestic newspapers have established offices in the SAR.

Those who have received information bombardment in later generations will naturally not let go of media propaganda such as newspapers. In this era, the main channel for ordinary people to obtain official exact information is newspapers and radio. Newspapers have a greater influence on literate people. And literate people are the leader in various ideas in this era.

Although the Pioneer Army developed in a low-key manner before, its emphasis on newspapers has not been interrupted. Through continuous acquisitions and controls, Meng Xiang has already had more than 50 newspapers on hand. Recently, it has been integrating and planning to integrate three large newspapers. Of course, the small newspapers do not intend to discard them, and still have seven or eight. Just like the Internet vests of later generations, some things that are not suitable for being said are more appropriate to be shouted out through small newspapers.

At this time, Meng Xiang was planning to expand publicity for the next step of action, but found that he did not have a powerful gunman.

Newspapers in the Republic of China period were the most powerful and the content was developed the most rapidly. It was easy to solve the problem of office and equipment, but the gunmen had to consider it. Because the literati at this time were very stances. Ordinary newspapers were difficult to convince without the support of celebrities.

Although the Pioneer Army also has a record, facing the Central Army's low-key handling, the voices they shout need to be proved by convincing people. Just relying on the Pioneer Newspaper, which has just become famous across the country, is not enough to fight the tide on the propaganda front.

There are more than fifty newspapers on hand, and there are many literati, but not many of them can have super weight. They still need time to improve their reputation.

"There is a good candidate, but the control of the newspaper is hard to say." Tang Pharmacist pondered.

"who?"

"Zou Taofen! He was not long after he was released from prison and had a good reputation. He was still a national senator at this time. However, he was restricted by the central government at this time. He just followed this person's personality and would not necessarily promote it according to our intentions! He asked to maintain the integrity of the newspaper."
