Subverting the traditional Zhao memory method

Former Sun, Zhou Li Wu, Chen Feng Chu Wei, Jiang Shen and hundreds of other surnames. I believe that most people can recite a few words, but many people have a * * * problem in memorizing hundreds of surnames, which is a bit doubtful. Why does Zhao rank first among hundreds of surnames?

Is it really because Zhao is the first surname in the world that he is among the best? This is really not the case. If you want to know why Zhao ranks first among hundreds of surnames, then you need to know the reasons for the emergence of hundreds of surnames and the time of writing, and trace back to the source to find the answer.

The founder of the Dasong Dynasty was Zhao Kuangyin, who made a spot check in front of the temple. Chen Qiao mutinied in yellow robes, and many old Chai families fought in the south and blocked the east and killed the west, and finally established Dasong. Someone once commented that the Song Dynasty was the most suitable time for literati life, because there was a lot of respect for literati there. If you are a scholar in the Song Dynasty or an ordinary scholar, you will receive very high courtesy and respect.

In today's words, the Song Dynasty attached great importance to intellectuals, and also attached great importance to letting ordinary people learn culture, that is, in this case, hundreds of surnames became books. A scholar in Hangzhou in the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty may not even be a scholar, compiling textbooks for local primary school students. Similar to our current infant enlightenment books, they must be easy to understand and let them know some basic common sense.

What should I write? Let them know how many common people there are in our DaSong dynasty, so the simplest thing is what are the common people's surnames? Ah, here's an idea. Let's make up a hundred surnames. Hundreds of surnames were born under such circumstances. Then the problem comes again. Hundreds of surnames rank in 1. Whose surname should it be? Don't even think about it. You must have put Zhao in the position of 1. Some people may ask, why are there the most people surnamed Zhao after statistics in the Song Dynasty?

Or is it that all the oldest relatives in big noble in the Song Dynasty are surnamed Zhao? We don't need statistics or calculations, let alone look at the name of big noble, a big clan. We only need to know one thing: the chairman of this company in the Song Dynasty was Zhao. The whole world is king, and land is the coast of land. This is Chen Boer. You make a living in this company. You make up a book and tell people that all the surnames in the world are in this book.

The boss wants to ask him, who ranks 1? You tell him his surname is Wang, and you tell him his surname is Li. At that time, the boss Zhao Can didn't slap this face. I worked hard to create a river and a mountain of Zhao. As a result, you told me that Zhang surnamed Wang is the first surname in the world. Isn't this asking for trouble? So a very simple way is to put Zhao's surname in the position of 1, safety first, and absolutely no one will object to your reasons for compiling books.
