Why did the once popular Wubi finally lose to the Pinyin input method?

Although Wubi was very popular in the past, due to the development of science and technology, computers have become a necessary equipment for the office. That's why Wubi will lose to Pinyin input method. In fact, in today's society, computers have changed a lot.

Due to some of the computer's keyboard input method,So now a lot of people rarely use five strokes,Although five strokes are also very popular,But in this society in the present, many people still like to use pinyin input method,After all, the pinyin input method will be more convenient and convenient。

At the beginning of the 70's, there were various input methods for Chinese characters, and Chinese characters were also input through the ten numbers from zero to nine. However, the efficiency of these input methods is still relatively low, so it has not been promoted to a large extent. Later, they had the Wubi input method, which encodes Chinese characters through letters, and each letter represents a different radical, just like their name, but no more than 5 strokes at most can put several radicals together and be able to piece together a Chinese character.

Although at that time, Wubi input method was also included in the computer curriculum of many schools。Since the emergence of the concept of mobile network, our input method is also connected to the Internet, so at that time a new network thesaurus was formed. In fact, the advantage of pinyin input method is that when you frequently use certain words, he can form a kind of memory in the memory thesaurus, when you hit a similar button again, these words will be quickly matched, which is equivalent to a huge data question bank.

In fact, there is another important reason, that is, we have already learned pinyin when we are in elementary school, so we don't need to learn it a second time, so the threshold of the input method of pinyin is relatively low relative to the input method of five strokes. So although Wubi is very popular, it still loses to the pinyin input method.

Because the Wubi input method is more difficult to start with than Pinyin, and now after the popularization of the Internet, most of them are using simple Pinyin input.

5 pen input method, it takes time and effort to learn. If you want to type a lot of words, use blind typing, 5 strokes are not suitable.

Because now the pinyin input method is very simple,It's very simple to learn,And the once very popular Wubi is too difficult to learn,And now basically no one uses it。

Because I think the pinyin input method is simpler and easier to grasp than the previous fire five-stroke input method.

Because the pinyin input method is more simple, convenient, and easy to learn, the Wubi input method is too complicated.

Because people nowadays pay attention to efficiency, Wubi typing is more difficult to learn, and the typing speed is relatively slow, and pinyin typing does not have these shortcomings.

Because of the 5 input method,It's too complicated,Many people can't learn it,So now basically no one uses it。

Wubi medicine back formula, pinyin is what we learned since childhood, children will, relatively simple, five strokes of medicine one stroke back formula, not so many people use.

It varies from person to person, I personally still don't like it, but now it's all the same, what comes out and what is used.

The computer can be said to be a very important invention in the history of mankind, from the beginning only as a computing tool, to now through the computer and its connected network, we can know all kinds of things happening in various parts of the world for the first time. And the help of computers in work and life is undoubtedly very huge, it can be said that without computers, the world today would not be what it is now. If you want to communicate with the world through the computer, the most basic operation is to type, and we all know that the computer was invented by a foreign country, and how to convert English into Chinese and input it into the computer when it was just introduced to China has become the biggest problem.

Under the general trend at that time, many people understood that maybe the computer would bring a huge change of age to the world, and as a developed country that China should not lag behind the West, some people actually proposed to directly abandon Chinese characters and input letters according to foreign habits. But our Chinese characters have been passed down for thousands of years, how can the wise Chinese nation give up so easily? So Professor Wang Yongmin, who was still a guy at the time, invented the five-stroke input method in 1983 after five years of research, and it took several years to popularize it throughout China, and later Professor Wang Xiaolong invented the pinyin input method, which completely solved the problem of Chinese typing.

But we also know that although the pinyin input method is very convenient and fast, but the complex words have many meanings and pronunciations, and if you want to type it accurately, you have to find it on the keyboard for a while. And the five-stroke input method can reach a typing speed of about 15 crosses per minute, since the speed advantage is so big, why is the five-stroke input method now so unpopular?

Actually, there is a reason for this. First of all, we have learned pinyin since childhood, which is a very basic thing, and when we use pinyin input method, it will not be so difficult to get started. But the five input method needs to re-memorize those cumbersome roots and shortcodes,If you want to achieve a speed of about 100 words per minute, you have to study for several days first,The intensity during this period is not small。

And for most ordinary people,We usually don't need such a fast typing speed,So everyone is still more willing to use the familiar Pinyin input method。

But this is not to say that the Wubi input method has withdrawn from the stage of history because of this,You must know that the Wubi input method has been trained and familiar with the song stupid for a long time,The speed can even break through a hundred words per minute,Even some people can reach a hundred or dozens of speed,This is the speed that Pinyin input method can not achieve。 Although we ordinary people don't usually use it, such as the civil service department of a bank or a public unit, the use of Wubi input method can greatly improve the efficiency of Sakura's work, and they are more willing to use Wubi input method.

Computer in the country just large-scale popularization of the era,At that time the input method is still very little,The mainstream is five strokes of typing,Pinyin input method just came out,Not perfect enough,Typing is not as fast as five strokes,The same pinyin words are easy to confuse,You have to keep looking,Five strokes are much more accurate,What is what to play. At that time, the first thing to learn about computers was to learn Wubi input method.

But Wubi has a shortcoming, requiring the root of the word, requiring practice blind typing, this is a relatively difficult process, time-consuming, laborious and brain-consuming, normal use of Wubi, most people need to practice for about 15 days, the first week is the most difficult, to the envy after a week I feel much faster, mainly proficient, consolidation. The pinyin input method is much simpler, the English letter corresponds to the Chinese pinyin, and the words can be typed directly, and the printing of the article can also be completed. You can skip that learning stage and get started with it.

I'm using Wubi now, users who are used to Wubi, will never go back and use Pinyin again, the accuracy of Wubi code words is higher than Pinyin, what words can basically jump out of the heart, and there are many homophones in Chinese, commonly used words are in front, sometimes you have to look for many times. Especially in the selection of some rare words, the pinyin typing speed is much lower than that of Wubi.

Now everyone chooses pinyin typing input method,It's not that the pinyin input method is better than the five-stroke input method,But now the young people don't want to work hard to learn,It's just lazy。 Because the pinyin input method threshold is low,Easy to get started,As long as you have learned pinyin in primary school,You can replace the English letter set on the keyboard with pinyin,As long as people who know the word can basically get started directly with the pinyin input method。 The same can input Chinese characters, to achieve the same purpose, so why waste effort to learn the root of the five strokes, and now the pinyin input method has also improved a lot, skilled people typing speed is also quite fast, but it is still slightly inferior to the five strokes input method.

All in all, Wubi did not lose to Pinyin, but to the era of change.

Pinyin input method continues to raise the level of liquid bend type. After years of development, the Pinyin input method has been continuously improved and has become more and more intelligent. Previously, typing with pinyin input method, you need to turn the page back and forth to find the word you want, but now, the pinyin input method has a variety of functions such as memory, association and guessing, so that typing becomes very easy and lively.

Because the five-stroke input method is more difficult,Or need some skills to source the front,Unlike the current orange split core in the Sogou input method is very simple,It's easy to get started。 Pinyin input method is constantly improving,It's not as slow as it was at the beginning,Round digging the current pinyin input method acronym can type out your commonly used Chinese characters。

Because pinyin is simpler. Wubi input method needs to memorize the root, often practice to master, and pinyin is faster to get started.
