Walking into the debate of pictophonetic characters

According to statistics, more than 90% of Chinese characters are pictophonetic characters. Using the laws of pictophonetic characters, we can find the golden key to literacy.

What are pictophonetic characters? Pictophonetic characters are a word-formation method, which is a combination of radicals representing the meaning of words and radicals representing the pronunciation of words. The rules of pictophonetic characters are: ① All pictophonetic characters can be divided into two parts, which are called pictophonetic characters and semantic pictophonetic characters respectively; ② The phonetic surface of pictophonetic characters has phonetic function; ③ Pictophonetic characters have ideographic function.

1, accurate pronunciation. About a quarter of pictophonetic words have the same pronunciation as the whole word. It is really effective to read half a word occasionally, such as "Lian" and "Lian", but it is easy to give birth to an opportunistic psychology, which has a side effect-reading half a word often makes jokes. It is found that about three-quarters of pictophonetic characters have different pronunciations from whole characters. For example, the pronunciation of "prepare, throw, say and pray" next to the sound of "Shou" is different from that next to harmony. Be careful when reading pictophonetic characters such as "point, non-,fat, sky, elbow, ruler and qi". There are many mispronunciations in life, such as "Jiu (xù) wine" as "Jiu (Xi not ng) wine" and "Attainment (Y)". What should I do? I think using phonetic symbols is just guessing the pronunciation of words, and what to read in the end still depends on the dictionary.

2. Write the correct font. All pictophonetic characters are divided into two parts, which is very helpful for us to master fonts. You see, which is more reasonable to divide "Mo, Sese and Bian" into three parts and two parts? Obviously, dividing it into two parts is easy to master, because "Mo" is a pictophonetic character, "Mo" is a phonetic character, and "Ma" is a pictophonetic character. This analysis makes it much easier to remember words like "mo". Here's another math Rubik's Cube that skillfully uses pictophonetic characters: Mo-(horse)+(earth) = tomb. Take stock of the key words you came into contact with in junior high school and see how many similar formulas you can write.

3. Understand the meaning of words. Pictophonetic characters can help us guess the meaning of Chinese characters, such as "mania" and "foot". The meaning of this word may be related to "feet", and impatient people often stamp their feet when they are in a hurry. The ideographic function of pictophonetic characters also has great limitations, and the meanings of some pictophonetic characters are difficult to understand. For example, why is "Zhang, Jian" a bamboo prefix? It turns out that in ancient times, people used to write on bamboo slips. You can't take such words literally.

Fang: About a quarter of pictophonetic characters have the same pronunciation as whole characters. Pictophonetic characters can help us pronounce correctly. It is also very helpful for us to master fonts. Pictophonetic characters can help us guess the meaning of Chinese characters.

On the other hand, if a scholar knows how to read, he will easily make jokes, and if he looks at the meaning of literature, he will often misinterpret its true meaning.
