At the end of December, Lin Zixuan received an invitation.

He was asked to attend the National Mandarin Conference held on January 1, 1926, which will be held at the same time in both Peking and Shanghai.

This is actually a publicity campaign to popularize Mandarin.

Mandarin is also called modern standard Chinese, a common language that is implemented nationwide by the state.

In ancient times, it was called Mandarin and in later generations it was called Mandarin.

In China, when dialects of different localities are not in common, it is extremely necessary to communicate smoothly and promote Mandarin.

In this way, we must first unify the pronunciation of Chinese.

In 1909, the Qing government established the "Mandarin Editorial Committee" and officially named the Mandarin, which was commonly used at that time.

In 1911, after the establishment of the Republic of China government, the "China Pronunciation Unification Society" formulated a national voice system called the old national voice, and determined the national voice that was based on "Beijing voice as the main theme, taking into account the north and south".

On April 21, 1919, the Beiyang government established the "Mandarin Unification Preparatory Meeting" to be responsible for this matter.

Below are the "Chinese Character Provincial Style Committee", "Mandarin Roman Character Pinyin Research Committee", "Pronunciation Review Committee", "Mandarin Dictionary Committee" and "Mandarin Dictionary Compilation Office".

It can be said that all matters related to Mandarin are under the responsibility of this institution, including the Chinese language textbooks in the school.

In recent years, all parties have been having a lot of trouble over the issue of Chinese pronunciation.

This involves the issue of pronunciation teaching in primary schools. In 1920, less than two years after the implementation of Mandarin, a debate called "The Controversy between Beijing and the State" broke out, which is the similarities and differences between Beijing dialect and Mandarin pronunciation.

Finally, the pronunciation scheme based on Beijing dialect was confirmed.

But this is not the end. What this era does not lack is the innovator. They have proposed various solutions for Chinese pronunciation.

Some people even create a phonetic plan themselves.

In China, if you want to accomplish something, you have to hold a meeting to discuss it.

After a few years of discussion, all parties still argued endlessly. These people were all talking, very arrogant, and they all thought that their plans were the best.

Although there is no final result, some progress has been made. Many papers have been published and a lot of royalties have been earned.

Lin Zixuan didn't pay much attention to this, and he didn't even remember that he had written a book called "Lin's Chinese Pinyin Plan".

At that time, in order to sue in the United States, he hurriedly copied out the primary school Chinese textbooks of later generations and formulated a set of Chinese pinyin plans.

However, the Chinese pinyin scheme he wrote was the crystallization of the wisdom of countless linguists in later generations.

Although it is primary school textbooks, how can primary school textbooks that can be promoted nationwide be simple? This is the foundation of a country's education and is definitely the result of countless discussions and research.

Therefore, his plan is the most mature and perfect plan.

However, Lin Zixuan is usually relatively low-key, and after the lawsuit is over, he forgets about this matter, unlike others who promote and sell his own phonetics plan everywhere.

In this way, the "Lin's Chinese Pinyin Plan" has not received enough attention.

This time, Lin Zixuan went to Europe, the United States and other countries, which attracted the attention of domestic media and even discussed when Lin Zixuan won the Nobel Prize in Literature.

Some people remember that Lin Zixuan was also a linguist who wrote a book called "Lin's Chinese Pinyin Plan".

When this pinyin scheme was submitted to the Mandarin Unification Preparation Conference, those linguists realized the conciseness and convenience of this pinyin scheme, and even the tone was marked.

It is simple and easy to understand. Whether it is school teaching or promotion, it is much better than their immature plans.

This does not mean that these linguists do not have real skills, they are also talented people.

However, the research and evolution of Chinese pronunciation takes time. The plan proposed by Lin Zixuan comes from later generations and was improved based on the research of these people.

There are people in the world, and many scholars deliberately criticize the "Lin's Chinese Pinyin Plan" and point out the shortcomings.

After all, this is a thing that can leave a name in history. It is the founder of Chinese Pinyin. Who doesn’t want to be such a name?

Education is a matter that benefits today and for thousands of years. Every Chinese must learn Chinese Pinyin. When it comes to Chinese Pinyin, it will be said that this was invented by someone. This is the name left in history.

This is also the reason why these people are fighting over and over.

Of course they are contributing to Chinese culture, but they also have the desire to be fame and fortune.

However, those people are a minority after all, and most linguists are fair. After approving Lin Zixuan's pinyin scheme, he felt that this scheme could be used in comparison with the current "Photophonetic Letters" and gradually promoted it.

The Mandarin Unification Preparation Association is preparing to submit this proposal to the Ministry of Education and publish it in the Mandarin Monthly.

At that time, Lin Zixuan was still abroad and his whereabouts were uncertain, so no one informed him.

After solving the problem of pronunciation in Mandarin, another problem plagued these linguists, that is, the promotion of vernacular Chinese.

Although vernacular Chinese has been promoted for so many years, most writers still have sentences like "Zhihuzheye" in their articles when writing, even people like Luxun and Hu Shi are no exception.

This generation of their generation received private school education when they were young and could not change this habit in their bones.

When Luxun was studying in Japan, Japanese syntax sometimes appeared in his articles, which is the impact of education.

At this time, many people found that Lin Zixuan’s popular novels written by him were proficient in using vernacular Chinese and vernacular, and his martial arts novels played a great role in the promotion of vernacular Chinese.

People like to read Lin Zixuan’s martial arts novels, which is equivalent to promoting vernacular Chinese.

Some people were quite puzzled by this, and after asking, they found out that Lin Zixuan had not received private school education.

He received his early childhood education at the Concession Aiguo Primary School, no wonder he did not bring classical Chinese when writing.

But it is precisely because of such an educational background that actually wrote ancient poems as majestic as "Qinyuan Spring Snow".

Finally, they had no choice but to come to the conclusion that people are omnipotent!

To be honest, the popular novels written by Lin Zixuan were criticized as having no literary talent and were full of vernacular Chinese, but now they are praised, and they believe that they have made contributions to the promotion of vernacular Chinese.

The fundamental reason why the contrast between the front and the back is that Lin Zixuan's position in the literary world has improved and he has become an authority.

If Lin Zixuan had just traveled through time, even if he wrote "Lin's Chinese Pinyin Plan" with great excellence, it would not attract attention and would even be criticized.

Just as a large number of people attacked his novels at that time.

After becoming an authority, it has a halo, like a statue of a god in a temple, and is respected.

This is reality.

However, no matter what, the "Lin's Chinese Pinyin Plan" will soon become a textbook for primary schools across the country, and the title of the founder of Chinese Pinyin cannot be eliminated.

With the founder of new poetry and the founder of popular songs, this is the third founder.
