Why does "one" read "Yao"? _ Classic Net Pick

Noisy for a long time, to say this kind of special digital pronunciation, originated from the war-torn era.

The soldiers in the revolutionary Army came from corners, and it was inevitable to North. Among them, the pronunciation of "2" is the most confusing. We know that many Southern soldiers read "2" as "ni", or a similar sound. In order to avoid the pronunciation confusion, the communication soldier uses the Mandarin "two" to replace "er" the pronunciation. The same truth, the South after the nasal also have difficulties, so "0" can not read "ling" and read into the "hole." In fact, now many places play mahjong, also like to "cake" read "bucket" or "hole." Also, in many dialects "B" "P" is not divided, "P" is a blasting sound, audible clear, so "8" enrolled into the "fear."

A more important reason is the frequency of Chinese vowels. According to the study, the "I" in the Chinese vowel is the lowest frequency, the definition is the worst, with "a" ratio, "I" Power is only "a" half, poor at least 3 db. As you know, the battlefield noise is very loud, the communication soldier if send "I" the other party may not hear clearly. Communication is not smooth, in life can cause a lot of trouble, if happen in the battlefield, may have to pay the blood and the cost of life. So we come up with a good way, a comprehensive replacement of "I" sound, because the Chinese "Yao" refers to small meaning, so "1" read "" "," 7, 0 "according to its shape to read again to do" turn, Hole. " One of the most noteworthy is "7", because of its initials "Q" pronunciation is very unclear, instead of "turn", consonant "g" burst sound has brought valuable clarity. Similarly, "9" is also enrolled in the "dog".

After the founding of New China, due to the limitations of communication technology, this set of special pronunciation, also from military to civilian. Today, the information industry by leaps and bounds, Mandarin increasingly popular, in the civil, the special pronunciation of digital also basically completed its historical mission.

However, some of these sounds are still preserved and permeate our daily lives. For example, "1" in many places we all pronounce "unitary." So what's the reason? Is it the red-headed of the State or the common people?

After investigation, the state's red-headed did not provide for such a reading, on the contrary, in accordance with the standards of Putonghua, "1" should read "Yi" is right. So why is the digital pronunciation inconsistent with the Mandarin rules in people's work and life? There are two reasons for this, one, the pronunciation of the initials "I" still exist, and the second, "1" is the most commonly used in life figures. Because of this, people in many occasions, or the habit of "1" read as "the"

Here is a very interesting phenomenon, all over the country, the "110" read as "0", rather than "Yiyi 0", similarly, "911" also do not read "Nine Yiyi", and read as "nine." This is the origin of "Yao 0" and "Jiu Yao".
