In the long history, it has made indelible contributions to improving the cohesion of the Chinese nation. Chinese characters have many advantages. With its beautiful form, harmonious rhythm and rich cultural connotation, it has become an ancient writing in the world, and it is increasingly emitting unparalleled charm in the new century!
Chinese characters are graceful in form. Chinese characters are ideographic characters developed from pictures, which are composed of line graphics, and the structure of line graphics itself can show the beauty of pictures. Look at Chinese characters carefully, some are dignified and beautiful, some are natural and concise, and some are smooth and elegant. Because of this, China has such a rich art of calligraphy. The graceful form of Chinese characters gives us unlimited imagination. Open the book, you will feel that every Chinese character is alive, and every Chinese character is like a beautiful picture before our eyes. The sun is shaped like the sun, the moon is shaped like a crescent moon, the mountain rises like a continuous mountain peak, and the river flows down like a cliff waterfall. "Horse" is like a galloping horse, "Song" is like a bird's song, "Dan" is like the rising sun, and "Ji" is like a tree inhabited by three birds. Three people are "crowds", the sun and the moon are "bright", "one step of water (three points of water)" is "involved", and the double "wood" is "forest" ... Almost every Chinese character can insert a pair of wings of imagination for us, allowing us to think freely in the world of Chinese characters and gain real beauty in the gallery of Chinese character art.
Chinese characters have a harmonious rhyme. Chinese characters are a syllable. Within a syllable, there are no consonants, and no two or three consonants are connected at the beginning or end. Therefore, the boundaries between syllables are clear and the structural forms of syllables are neat. Chinese syllables are dominated by vowels, and a syllable can be without consonants, but it can't be without vowels. Moreover, many syllables are composed of compound vowels. Because vowels are musical sounds, the proportion of musical components in Chinese syllables is large. Every syllable in Chinese has several tones, which can produce sounds.
The boundaries between bars and syllables are clear and full of cadences, thus forming the special style of China's music. Many Chinese characters have the same or similar vowels. Putting these syllables with the same or similar vowels at the end of each sentence or every other sentence can make the tone harmonious and pleasant, rich in musical rhythm, easy to recite and easy to remember.
Poetry is the rhyme formed by using this law of Chinese characters. Each Chinese character has a specific tone. The yin-yang tone is slower to read, which is called flat tone, while the rising and falling tone is more urgent to read, which is called falling tone. Using these two tones alternately regularly can make the tone cadence and pleasing to the ear.
The history of Chinese characters is profound. For thousands of years, China's historical documents are vast and rich in allusions and idioms. A few Chinese characters can express the content of an article or a story. For example, countless concise words such as "teaching others to play with an axe", "cramming for the Buddha's feet", "learning donkey skills", "brilliant", "busy with traffic" and "there are few doors" vividly show the richness and far-reaching content. China ancient books, vehicle-mounted bucket. Laozi's 5,000 words have endless mysteries, forming the Laozi School. Sun Tzu's Art of War, with a thousand words, applies not only to the military, but also to the business circles of many countries in the world. Moreover, the distinction between Chinese characters and characters is obvious, and the personality is outstanding, which is convenient for the trial sale and reading of high-speed new products. Poems and songs composed of Chinese characters have neat rhymes, flat and even dialogues, refined words, rich connotations, elegance and freshness, which are difficult for other characters to possess.
Chinese characters are the creation of China culture. Chinese characters are a symbol system of ideographic system, so they can directly transmit semantic information. "River, river, flood, soup and berth" are related to "water", and "stabbing, beating, flapping, scraping and throwing" are related to hand movements. The construction of Chinese characters has certain motives. Zhang Bin pointed out:
The motivation of Chinese characters reveals the rich cultural information of the Chinese nation. Through the analysis of the internal structure of Chinese characters, we can even get a glimpse of ancient customs, social development and cognitive level. If we go deep into the structure of each Chinese character, we will find that there are deep motivations for word-making, from which we can spy on the social life at that time. For example, in ancient times, shells were used as money, so all Chinese characters recording economic activities were added with a "shell", such as "greed, poverty, goods, loans, capital, meanness, wealth and purchase", which reflected the ideological concept and cognitive level of the Han nationality. For example, the status of women in feudal society is low, so all Chinese characters with derogatory meanings are added with the word "female", such as "jealousy, rape, greed, demon, infatuation and whoring". Chinese characters express thoughts and feelings from the heart (or inner deformation), such as:
Thinking, forgetting, loyalty, forgiveness, resentment, worry, memory, worry, joy, fear, embarrassment, respect and admiration, etc. , are the reflection of the ancients' understanding of objective things. Ancestors believed that the heart was an organ of thinking. In view of this understanding, when creating words,
Left a batch of Chinese characters that express their thoughts and feelings from the heart.
"Chinese characters" is the only writing form in the world that has evolved from ancient times and never stopped. From Oracle Bone Inscriptions to the bronze inscriptions and seal scripts of the Western Zhou Dynasty (Zhong Dingwen and Shi Guwen), and then to the seal scripts of the Qin Dynasty, the "same script" was realized, and then to the "official script" and "official script", and now the writing stage.
