In recent years, with the development of China's economy and the great improvement of its comprehensive national strength, China culture has become more and more influential in the world.
With the promotion of the National Office for Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language, Confucius Institutes have been established in more than half of the countries in the world, and more and more foreigners have begun to learn about China and learn Chinese characters.
The Language and Literature Newspaper of the State Language Committee and the Language and Literature Newspaper pointed out in their congratulatory messages: "Chinese characters are one of the oldest characters, and no one in the world is as young and enduring as Chinese characters. All this is related to Cang Xie, the ancestor of Chinese characters. "
