Chapter 354: Zhu Shu, Who Felt That He Was Taken Advantage Of, Had His Educational Threshold Raised
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was sitting at the back, heard Yan Changqing's words and immediately couldn't help but stand up and look at Yan Changqing, who was shocked and said:
"Mr. Yan, is this true?!"
Yan Changqing nodded affirmatively and replied:
"Of course it's true."
For example, among the documents from the Han Dynasty and beyond, "Historical Records" uses 4,932 characters!
This 4932 is the number of words in "Historical Records", not the ordinal number in "Historical Records".
Among these 4,932 characters, 868 Chinese characters make up 90% of the entire article, and 1,017 Chinese characters appear only once!
Another example is based on the "Sikuquanshu", which contains 3,071 books with a total of 800 million words, using 29,088 different Chinese characters.
If we make a statistics on word frequency, then the most commonly used words constitute 81% of the total length of the book!
The two thousand most commonly used words constitute 92% of the entire book!
Three hundred core Chinese characters, two thousand important Chinese characters, plus a few uncommon Chinese characters, a total of four thousand characters make up 98% of the entire book!!!
Zhu Yuanzhang fell down on his chair in a daze and murmured to himself:
"Three hundred words, two thousand words..."
"Three hundred words, two thousand words..."
Not only Zhu Yuanzhang was absent-minded, but the princes such as Di Baobiao, Zhu Di, Zhu Gang, and Zhu Di were also in a trance.
【Three hundred core Chinese characters?!!】
【Two 190 thousand important Chinese characters?!!】
[You only need to know 300 core Chinese characters to understand 60% to 70% of the content of any article?!!]
[You only need to know two thousand important Chinese characters to understand 90% to 100% of the content of any article?!!]
[You only need to know about 2,500 Chinese characters to read any article?!!]
[Are the requirements for reading and literacy so low?!!]
[His mother-in-law, then I know more than 10,000 characters, wouldn’t it mean that I know 7,8,000 or 8,000 characters in vain?!!]
[Calm down, calm down, Zhu Shu, you can do it! I want to believe that you will be able to remember who the gentleman who taught you how to read was, his grandma, and I will smash his door when I go back tonight!!!]
No wonder Zhu Yuanzhang, as well as the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes were so confused, because each of them came from the literacy stage.
And each of them has known more than 10,000 characters, and they have just completed their literacy.
As a result, Yan Changqing now tells them that they only need to know 300 core Chinese characters and 2,000 important Chinese characters, and then they can actually understand almost any article.
At least I can understand almost 10% of the Chinese characters in any article!!!
I don’t know if other people feel that they are being taken advantage of, but King Zhu Bo of Qi feels that he is being taken advantage of (bhbd).
I remember when he was learning literacy in Mongolia, in order to be able to read more than 10,000 words, he often got slapped on the palm by Mr. Kai Meng at that time!!!
When Mr. Kaimeng beat him, he showed no mercy!
Every time he made a mistake in reading a word, he would be hit on the palm of his hand with a ruler.
His palms were drawn red every time, and he was not let go until he was beaten to tears.
Does that gentleman know how much physical and psychological damage it caused to a six- or seven-year-old child when a ruler was struck down by his eminence?!!
What's even worse is that even if he is beaten to tears by his husband, neither his father nor his mother and concubine will help him.
At most, after his mother and concubine gave him the medicine, she spoke softly and continued to learn to read with a lot of runny nose and tears.
Although after that, he also learned to pretend to cry whenever he saw his husband holding a ruler, in order to avoid the punishment of the ruler.
But no matter what, that enlightenment experience of reading and literacy did create very unpleasant memories for him, which was one of the reasons why he didn't like to study much later.
If he only needed to know 2,300 characters back then, the beatings he received when he was learning to read and write would have been at least four-fifths less!!!
On the podium, Yan Changqing looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, who was either in a complicated mood, or looking melancholy, or gnashing his teeth, as well as the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes, and shook his head slightly.
In his previous life, the reason why students were only required to have a basic Chinese character literacy of about 3,000 characters.
It’s not because the requirements for students are low, but because they can recognize 300 core Chinese characters, as well as about 2,000 important Chinese characters, plus some relatively rarely used Chinese characters.
Then it can already meet daily life, work, study and communication.
In addition, it is not impossible to know more Chinese characters, but it is not necessary.
Because except for those related to language archeology who can come in handy, others are basically useless in other situations.
Even if you want to use it to show off, in the eyes of others, you will only be laughed at by Kong Yi who shows off the four ways to write the word "fennel" for fennel beans.
"Sir, hasn't anyone discovered for so long that you only need to know 2,300 Chinese characters to know almost all the words in any article?!!"
King Zhu Su of Qi looked up at Yan Changqing and said with some inexplicable resentment.
Of course, this resentment is not directed at Yan Changqing, but at the gentleman who is about to have his door knocked down tonight!!!
"It's not necessarily that no one has discovered it, or it should be said that after hundreds or thousands of years of education being passed down, someone must have discovered this."
"It's just that no one said it."
“Because literacy is difficult, literacy is a threshold in itself, a threshold for learning, a threshold for becoming a scholar, and a threshold for becoming a ruling class.
Yan Changqing said calmly.
Zhu Yuanzhang, as well as the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes remained silent, knowing in their hearts the meaning behind Yan Changqing's words.
Why not tell us that "you only need to know 2,300 Chinese characters to recognize almost all the words in an article"?!!
The reason is very simple, it is just to raise the threshold of students' learning.
By raising the threshold for students to learn, then raising the threshold for becoming scholars, then raising the threshold for becoming the ruling class, and finally monopolizing the channels for people at the bottom to move up and be promoted in disguise!!!
Previously, Zhu Yuanzhang, as well as the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes, had not had much feeling about the fact that the scholar-bureaucrats raised the threshold and monopolized the upward promotion channels for the people at the bottom in disguise.
But this wave really made Zhu Yuanzhang, as well as the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes feel how far the scholar-bureaucrats had raised the educational threshold in order to prevent the people at the bottom from flowing upward! !!
[His mother clearly only needs to know 300 core Chinese characters [which is already a preliminary introduction to Mongolian admonishment characters!!!]
[You only need to know 2,300 core Chinese characters and important Chinese characters to complete enlightenment literacy!!!]
[As a result, those scholar-bureaucrats forcibly raised their literacy level to tens of thousands of words before they could complete the preliminary enlightenment literacy, directly increasing the difficulty and requirements of enlightenment to dozens of times!!!]
【It’s really hateful!!!】
【Killable!!!】
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a trace of murderous intent unconsciously.
[Hmph, you want to raise the educational threshold to the sky, but we have to knock it down into the dust!!!]
However, in his mind, Zhu Yuanzhang became more determined to implement basic "reading and literacy" education for all.
On the podium, Yan Changqing looked at Prince Zhu Biao and said with a smile:
"In the beginning, if we just need the people to know the most basic three hundred core Chinese characters."
“So, is it still difficult for the common people to be basically ‘ready and literate’?!!”
Prince Zhu Biao shook his head. He just needed to know and learn three hundred core Chinese characters.
So even if ordinary people memorize things by rote, most of them can memorize, recognize, and memorize them. Ordinary people still have this kind of learning and memory ability.
Thinking of this, Prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Yuanzhang, as well as Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes looked at the words [three hundred] written by Yan Changqing on the blackboard, and the same thought flashed through their hearts again.
[The title of one emperor through the ages, the Ming Dynasty’s prosperous era of enlightenment, and the future of the national imperial examination have been stabilized by two-thirds!!!]
