After letting the children draw randomly for a while, Li Mengxi clapped his hands, "Okay, let's see how the words you write are."

Li Mengxi walked downwards.

The children sat in a row, one by one, leaving enough space in the middle, and the children's handwriting with sticks was on the ground.

Li Mengxi went over and looked at it one by one.

Some children really painted on the ground and didn't write anything out.

As he continued to look down, Li Mengxi saw some handwriting that looked like that.

Some children use wooden sticks to draw the shape of their mouths on the ground. Although the drawings are not that similar, they are roughly a closed figure.

When Li Mengxi walked to the last big child, he saw that in the open space in front of the big child, the child felt that the mouth was troublesome and directly drew a circle with a stick.

It was this child who said his mouth was open like a bowl.

Some talent, Li Mengxi thought.

Children have relatively strong observation skills. Some people can capture the general graphics after their mouths are opened.

And this is exactly the earliest process of the birth of hieroglyphs.

Li Mengxi walked towards the "pool" and while walking, Li Mengxi was wondering how the word "mouth" changed from the earliest pictogram to a square square.

When he walked onto the stage, Li Mengxi thought it out clearly.

"Look at everyone," Li Mengxi pointed at the door panel, which was smooth, "Look at it, my mouth is open, isn't that what it looks like?"

As he said that, Li Mengxi drew a very vivid picture of the mouth with upper and lower lips on the door panel.

Li Mengxi's painting skills are good, and his paintings are simple and vivid. "Does the mouth look like this?" Li Mengxi asked, pointing.

"That's how it looks!"

"That's right!"

...

Below, the children stared at each other and responded one after another.

"Then let's draw faster, wouldn't we better draw a few more?" Li Mengxi looked at the children below and asked with a smile.

The children all said yes.

Then, Li Mengxi took a breath, and the pen in his hand began to write quickly on the door panel. The paintings were all the same as the mouth with the upper and lower lips. The faster he drew, the faster he drew, and in the end he drew more and more. Gradually, he ignored the curve of his lips, so how could he draw them to save trouble.

"Draw so fast!"

"So fast!"

"Quick! Quick!"

The children below all started to make excuses and were laughing.

In the blink of an eye, Li Mengxi drew twenty words in one breath, and at the last one, it was extremely sloppy. In order to save trouble, Li Mengxi drew a circle and tried to get things done.

The hieroglyph that looks the most like the mouth should be four strokes, with two lips in different directions on the upper lip, and the same is true for the lower lip.

As I write faster and faster, I can’t take too many strokes into consideration. From the fifth one, the strokes on the upper and lower strokes are almost gone.

Then, continue writing down, the more you write, the more abstract it becomes. The shape of the lips that were originally irregular in shape began to converge, and the entire font began to become more and more round.

Then, eventually, it becomes a circle.

The complete evolution process of the word "mouth" is vividly reflected in the door panel from these twenty figures.

The children below were curious and looked at the many paintings on the door panel, and then looked at Li Mengxi.

Li Mengxi pointed to the first drawing, then moved his fingers slowly to the last drawing, explaining, "Look, the mouth is like this at the beginning. If you want to draw faster, isn't it just a circle, it's the fastest?"

"So, draw a circle, what is this circle?" Li Mengxi pointed at his mouth and reminded the children.

"It's the mouth!" The children below rushed to answer.

"Yeah!" Li Mengxi nodded affirmatively, "This word, pronounced, kou, means the mouth. Come and read it with me, kou~"

The children followed and read it over and over again.

The adults watching were amazed.

Most adults are illiterate, but although adults are illiterate, many adults feel a sudden understanding after listening to Li Mengxi's teachings.

Adults have much better understanding than children. After watching for a while, the adults watching roughly understood. Oh, drawing a circle means mouth.

The first word is finished.

What we teach is not simplified Chinese characters, or even characters from the Han Dynasty, but primitive oracle bone characters.

"Okay, classmates. Let's finish learning the word "mouth", you can see me.

If you draw [speak], how should you draw it?"

Li Mengxi asked, and the children below looked confused.

"Come on, look again. What can you see in your mouth when you speak? What is moving?" Li Mengxi guided patiently.

The child is still confused.

"What can you see in your mouth when you speak?" Li Mengxi pointed at his teeth. "What can you see?"

Li Mengxi looked at the children below and asked patiently.

"Haha! I saw your teeth." A big child said in the back row.

The children laughed in a ball.

Li Mengxi nodded.

"Yes! It's the teeth. Look, how do you write it when you open your mouth? Do you still remember it? How do you write the word "[mouth]?" Li Mengxi deliberately paused for a moment and asked.

"Draw a circle!"

"Draw a circle!"

The children below rushed to answer.

Then draw a circle.

Li Mengxi casually drew a circle on the door panel.

"When you speak, you can see teeth in your mouth, right?" Li Mengxi continued to inspire the children to think.

My friends below are right.

"How do you draw those teeth?"

"Can we draw a horizontal line as a tooth?" Li Mengxi asked.

As he said that, Li Mengxi drew a horizontal line in the circle.

Li Mengxi pointed to a circle with a horizontal picture and asked what character it was.

"It's a tooth!" A naughty child answered without hesitation.

Li Mengxi smiled, "Then, when will I see the teeth?"

"When talking!" the child replied.

"Okay! Then, add a horizontal line to this circle, what is this word?"

"This word is speaking."

"It means speaking."

"That's right, this word is to speak." The child expressed his opinion in a lingering manner.

At this moment, looking at the children who answered the questions seriously, Li Mengxi smiled with relief.

"Yes, this word means speaking, this word, pronounced, yue~

I am learning and practicing it from time to time. Come, read it with me twice, yue~” Li Mengxi took the children to read it over and over again.

The child has learned the second word, which is related to the mouth. The font is similar to the mouth, which means speaking, and the horizontal line in the middle is the teeth you can see when speaking.

Adding a horizontal line to the mouth means speaking, because when you speak, you can see teeth in your mouth.

After confirming that the children had roughly learned the word "日", Li Mengxi pointed to the sky in the west and the sunset that had not yet set, and asked the children, how should they draw the sun?

The children all turned back and looked up to the sky.

"It's just drawing a circle." The child replied.

Li Mengxi smiled, "Then draw a circle, the mouth is also a circle. How can you recognize two circles? Which one is the mouth and which one is the sun?"

When Li Mengxi asked this, the children didn’t know how to answer.
Chapter completed!
