When Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman learned Chinese characters, pinyin didn’t even exist. Therefore, when he taught the natives how to read and write Chinese characters, he merely taught them whatever he learned back then.
From the start, he never thought of something like pinyin—and the natives were fortunate enough not to be taught traditional Chinese characters instead.
"However… now that I think about teaching pinyin to these natives, I feel very fidgety. I’ll try first, and if it’s not working out, then I’ll wait for Drunken Sun, no, I mean, fellow daoist Drunken Moon to send a language teacher over," said Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman.
