Who invented Chinese Pinyin?
The first westerner who invented spelling Chinese characters with Latin letters was Italian Matteo? Matteo Ricci, a Catholic Jesuit missionary, came to China in 1583, and 1605 (thirty-three years of Ming Wanli) published the book Miracle in Western Languages in Beijing. There are four articles in it: "trust and tread on the sea, doubt and sink."

According to the translation of Chinese characters and Latin in the article, Luo Changpei compiled a scheme of Chinese Pinyin including 26 initials and 44 finals. This is the earliest publication that uses Latin alphabet to phonetic Chinese characters, which is a little later than Xiaojing, which uses Arabic alphabet to pinyin Chinese characters. Xiaojing (also known as Xiao Er Jing and Xiao Er Jin) is probably the first attempt to pinyin Chinese characters with alphabetic characters.

There are no pinyin letters in our country, so we annotate Chinese characters with orthography or anticlockwise. Direct pronunciation means using homophones to express the pronunciation of Chinese characters. If homophones are uncommon words, they can't be read even if they are pronounced. Backcutting refers to annotating another Chinese character with two Chinese characters. The upper word is the same as the initial consonant of the annotated word, and the lower word is the same as the vowel and tone of the annotated word. It is very difficult to learn Chinese characters in this situation.

On February 19 13 and 15, a phonetic symbol based on Zhang Taiyan's phonetic symbol was born, which was formulated by the phonetic unification association of China. 1930, the government of the Republic of China renamed the phonetic symbol "phonetic symbol", which is the predecessor of Chinese Pinyin.

At present, "Zhuyin" is still one of the main spelling tools for Chinese characters in Taiwan Province Province, China, and it is a necessary content of Chinese education in primary schools. Since the scheme of Chinese Pinyin 1958 was implemented in Chinese mainland, it has stopped being widely used, but it continues to be used together with Pinyin in Chinese phonetic notation of basic tools such as Chinese dictionaries. Its birth ushered in a new era of Chinese development.
