What are uncommon words?

Rare words, also known as uncommon words, refer to Chinese characters that are not commonly used or uncommon. Since the emergence of Chinese characters, Chinese characters have been constantly developing and changing. The earliest written language in China is Oracle Bone Inscriptions in Shang Dynasty, which is about 3,500 to 4,500 words. Because some symbols are not sure whether they are words of that era or uncommon words, it has caused great trouble to the word count in Oracle Bone Inscriptions today.

Since the emergence of Chinese characters, Chinese characters have been constantly developing and changing. The earliest written language in China is Oracle Bone Inscriptions in Shang Dynasty, which is about 3,500 to 4,500 words. Because some symbols are not sure whether they are words of that era or uncommon words, it has caused great trouble to the word count in Oracle Bone Inscriptions today. There are 3,300 words in Cang Xie, erudition and calendar in Qin Dynasty and Xun Bian written by Yang Xiong in Han Dynasty.

There are 5,340 words, and there were 9,353 words when I went to Xu Shen to write Shuo Wen Jie Zi. After the Jin and Song Dynasties, the characters became more and more complicated. According to the seal cutting performance of Moon Hee in Tang Dynasty, Jin wrote 12824, Wei Yang Chengqing wrote Zitong 13734 and Gu Liang wrote 169 17. Jade Piece is a supplement to Sun Qiang in Tang Dynasty, with 225,665,438+0 words.

Two uses

Say uncommon words

Nowadays, many people are tired and trapped by "fame". Not because they are famous, but because they are.

Rare words

Many people don't know the name, how to read it, how to write it, and how to input it if they use a computer. These are all jumbled and uncommon words.

Names are used in uncommon words. You really can't use the same name as an excuse, which has nothing to do with your personality. Names are used in uncommon words, ID cards can't be obtained, deposits can't be saved, and various procedures are not easy to handle. Therefore, it is really necessary to restrict the use of uncommon words for naming.

In the future, you can only use the words found in the latest Xinhua dictionary, otherwise you will not be registered. Naming with uncommon characters has little to do with protecting Chinese characters and traditional culture. Restricting the use of uncommon words for naming does not mean that you restrict the freedom of naming and deprive you of the right to remember a name. This is entirely for your own convenience, but also for the convenience of others. You don't want it to be a problem there.

There is no standard for rare words, and Xinhua dictionary can't frame them. Because there are also many words in the dictionary that I don't know after graduating from Chinese major, and there are also many "troubles" that computers can't spell out. Because there are too many Chinese characters.

Like other languages, most words in the dictionary are not commonly used. Taking the currently recognized Chinese dictionaries as samples, more than 50,000 words have been collected. But there are not many commonly used Chinese characters. According to statistics, 3,500 commonly used words cover 99.48% of the words used in modern publications. Thirteen Classics (I Ching, Shangshu, Zuo Zhuan, Gongyang Zhuan, Analects of Confucius, Mencius, etc. 13 ancient books) have a total of 589,283 words, including 6,544 different words. Selected Works of Mao Zedong consists of four volumes, with a total of 660,273 words, with only 298 1 word in different languages.

Words used in names also conform to this rule. 1988, the Chinese Character Office of the Institute of Pragmatics of the State Language Commission cooperated with the Second Artillery College to extract 570,000 names from the census data of 14 provinces and cities. Statistics show that the names of 570,000 names are only 4 14 1 characters. Among them, 1505 words cover 99% of 570,000 names, and the remaining 2,600 words are only used by 1% people; Of these 2,600 words, only more than 500 words exceed the basic set (6,763 words) of Chinese Character Coded Character Set for Information Interchange, and the population used is less than 0. 1%.

So only a few people use uncommon words to name themselves. It is a waste of resources and unfair to the vast majority of talents to expand fonts indefinitely for the needs of a very small number of people to use uncommon words.

Hope to adopt!
