Direct pronunciation is a way to give it to phonetic chinese characters directly. Beginning in the Han Dynasty, a homonym was used to mark the pronunciation of another word. For example, use a piece of paper to mark the pronunciation of bow length. Although this phonetic notation method is simple, its disadvantage is obvious, that is, it is difficult to accurately mark the pronunciation of some rare words or polyphonic words by direct pronunciation.
Reading is a way of reading with other words. It mainly uses a common word to mark the pronunciation of another word. For example, the pronunciation of the word world is marked as and read as. The advantage of this method is that it can provide accurate pronunciation for uncommon words and polyphonic words, but the disadvantage is that a large number of phonetic words are needed, and some phonetic words are not commonly used.
In addition to direct pronunciation and reading if, the ancients also adopted some other phonetic notation methods, such as backcutting. The backcutting method is to mark the pronunciation of a Chinese character with two Chinese characters. The initial consonant of the previous Chinese character and the vowel of the next Chinese character form the syllable of the marker word, and the tone is determined by the class call method. For example, the phonetic symbol of Dongzi is Dehongche.
