China is a multi-ethnic, multilingual and multilingual country, with 56 nationalities, more than 70 languages and more than 50 scripts. Determine the status of Putonghua and standardized Chinese characters as the national common language in the form of law, and stipulate the scope of use. It is conducive to social adaptation, ethnic exchanges, national unity and national unity. Only by bringing the language and writing work into the legal track can we meet the needs of social development, realize scientific and effective management, and provide a basis for correcting the confusion of social language and writing and promoting the management of language and writing according to law.
Chinese characters are one of the oldest characters in the world and the most widely used characters in the world. There are a large number of Chinese characters, about 60,000 in total, and about 6,000 commonly used characters. Chinese characters have a long history. The oldest Chinese character found so far is Oracle Bone Inscriptions more than 3,400 years ago. They are very mature and developed. According to scientists' calculations, the history of Chinese characters is about 5000 years. Chinese characters are the characters that record Chinese. It is a bond of national unity, a symbol of national unity and a treasure of Chinese culture.
China has a vast territory, complex dialects and great differences. Chinese characters are super dialects, which break the geographical restrictions and play an important role in the communication between different regions. At the same time, Chinese characters adapt to the characteristics of Chinese, record and spread the rich and splendid history and culture of the Han nationality, and preserve a large number of cultural heritage. Today, Chinese characters have made a major breakthrough in information processing. People can directly use Chinese characters to process and transmit all kinds of information on computers and networks, thus showing its strong vitality. Chinese characters are different from English, Russian and other pinyin characters. They are a unique writing system that integrates form, sound and meaning. In other words, a Chinese character not only has a certain shape, but also has a certain pronunciation, which can often directly reflect a certain meaning. So we say that Chinese characters are ideographic characters, and some people call them linguistic signs. Graphically speaking, Chinese characters are a kind of square characters, which are composed of various strokes such as horizontal, vertical, apostrophe, dot and fold. From the point of view of form, Chinese characters can be divided into two categories, one is a single word and the other is a combined word. Writing is not only the carrier of China culture, but also a splendid culture. However, in the tide of historical development, people have reformed the traditional way of writing China characters, resulting in the so-called "modern characters", that is, typos. This simple "rewriting" makes China Chinese characters lose their original charm. Usually, many people will abbreviate many words for temporary convenience; Or if you can't write, just replace the original word with another homophone, which may change the original sentence meaning.
If you look carefully, you will find that there are many typos in your surroundings. Usually, in order to simplify and save time, write four water divisions as horizontal lines under the word "point" or write four water divisions as "big". What's this word? Are the words that can't be found in the dictionary words? This simplification has become a word invented by the latest modern people. If this simplified character continues to be written, what will become of China characters in the future? Will the history of writing be distorted?
Walking in the street, you can also find typos everywhere. Some are for the benefit of advertising, and some are obvious low-level mistakes. For example, dancing is unparalleled, which is the topic of a street dance competition. It is intended to change "nothing" into "dance" and adopt a close tone in order to attract the attention of passers-by. For example, two different signboards in the same place are actually written in two different ways. Although it is homophonic, it gives consumers two different concepts.
On the surface, Chinese characters are just a symbol, referring to the corresponding things, but behind this correspondence, there are feelings, habits and even instincts of China people. Can we change these feelings, habits and instincts at will? Chinese characters are the crystallization of ancient Chinese people's understanding of society, nature, science and philosophy before the appearance of Chinese characters. Do we deny the crystallization of all this understanding?
The standardization of language civilization and written language use is one of the important symbols of spiritual civilization of a country and a nation. Standardized and beautiful unit names, signboards, slogans and billboards are an integral part of urban culture. Whether Chinese characters can be written and used correctly has a very important role and influence on our daily life, work, interpersonal communication and even economic development.
Since the reform and opening up, China's rapid economic development, smooth government decrees, legal progress, increased interpersonal communication and unified market economic order all need to standardize the use of language and characters. Let's continue to work hard to thoroughly implement the Law of the People's Republic of China on Common Language and Characters, and make contributions to the healthy development of the language and characters of the motherland!
