Chapter 173 phonetic notation

Many experts have talked about the many benefits of Zhuyin in difficult characters. I will only talk about the necessity of Zhuyin in difficult characters based on my personal experience. All in all, most of the characters I have recognized in my life were not taught by teachers, because the characters in textbooks are limited after all.When my teacher taught four or five volumes of Chinese textbooks, I had already browsed and read "ten lines at a glance".At that time, I didn’t know how to look up a dictionary, even if I knew how to look up a dictionary, when I was eager to know a story, I didn’t bother to look up a dictionary. Therefore, there were many glyphs that only passed my eyes and entered my brain, without any Through my tongue, the horizontal and vertical glyphs have been repeatedly exposed, and the meaning of these characters can be guessed. The sound of the characters becomes unimportant in reading.

When I tell stories to others, I only read many glyphs according to what I know, its radicals, for example, "Qin" (qin) which is "refreshing", I pronounce it as "heart", "full of flaws" I pronounce "zhan (zhan)" as "定", and "门" as "stunned". 〔cheng〕, I pronounced it as "Tang" and so on. Someone corrected it for me, so I corrected it. If it was not corrected, I continued to pronounce it as usual. A few days ago, in the column of "Do you know these words" in "Wen Wei Po", those listed are not uncommon, and some of them are words that I often use myself. I found that I mispronounced more than half of the words. Yes, this surprised me!So, how can I speak?How can broadcast?When writing an article, how can you grasp the musicality of the text?

"People's Daily" began to implement phonetic notation for difficult characters in the newspaper from November 1st. This is a great language education for readers, and I cheered for it from the bottom of my heart.I know that there are many children who suffer from the same disease as me. Like me, they have been reading tomes at a young age, and they don't look up dictionaries either.From my own "overturning", I hope that when they read books, they should pay attention to slow reading, careful reading, and deep reading, but the phonetic notation of difficult characters will undoubtedly be of great help to them.And I agree that the pronunciation of the words is inserted after the words, like the "People's Daily", which is more convenient for readers.

In order to have a "common language" when talking with others, the difficult characters of people's names, place names, cultural relics names, and characters used in the scientific and technological circles should all be phoneticized, so as to form a gradual unification of Mandarin.As for the standard of phonetic notation, I agree with Comrade Zhang Zhigong's opinion that the phonetic notation of different pronunciations should never follow the old, the vulgar and not the elegant, the crowd and not the few, and the easy and not the difficult.Leave the rest to the experts.
