Cantonese and Mandarin

Because Mandarin is the national language and Cantonese is a dialect

National Mandarin is the national language of China. As a Chinese, you should speak Mandarin well in order to communicate with more Chinese people. More friends.

In life, people always need to communicate, so there is language. Different places have different languages, but the most widely used language in China is Mandarin. Languages ??in other places such as Hokkien, Sichuan, and the languages ??of minority ethnic groups are all dialects.

If everyone only speaks their own dialect, then when traveling or traveling to other places, you will always need to communicate and communicate with the locals, but everyone can only speak their own dialect. And if we can’t understand other people’s dialects, then there will be no friendship without communication, and the scope of our friendships will be greatly limited!

Chinese characters are the written language of our country, and writing is a tool that facilitates communication.

We are now using simplified Chinese characters. You cannot write whatever characters you are used to, otherwise others will not understand. Moreover, writing simplified Chinese characters is convenient for memorization and writing. It can be understood at a glance, and the reading and writing speed will be faster. We primary school students should learn to write simplified Chinese characters so that they can be remembered more firmly. Traditional Chinese characters have more strokes and are difficult to remember and recognize. If we learn traditional Chinese characters, how hard it would be to memorize each character! The strokes are many and complicated, making it difficult to read and write.

Speaking Mandarin well and writing standard Chinese characters will make it easier to communicate, write and read!

Schools are the foundation and important position for promoting Mandarin and standardizing Chinese characters. Teachers and students in colleges and universities are an important front in promoting Mandarin and standardizing Chinese characters. We must take the lead in creating a standardized campus language environment in the school.

To create a standardized campus language and writing environment, we must first establish a sense of standards, clearly promote Mandarin, and promote the importance of standardizing Chinese characters. Language is the most important communication tool in human society and an important carrier for spreading culture, and writing is the symbol that records language. Our country has a vast territory, numerous ethnic groups, and there are many and complex dialects within the Chinese language. These have brought some difficulties to the communication between people from different regions and ethnic groups. As the only language that can bridge the gap between Chinese dialects and communicate with different ethnic groups, Mandarin has become the ultimate synonym for the Chinese nation. Standardizing Chinese characters is the best tool for recording this kind of synonymous language. The standardization of language and characters is of great significance as it is related to the unification of the country, the unity of the nation, economic development and social progress.

To create a standardized campus language and writing environment, we must also clarify the standards of language and writing standards and the requirements for us. Mandarin uses Beijing pronunciation as the standard pronunciation, Northern dialect as the basic dialect, and typical modern vernacular writings as the grammatical standard. The "Putonghua Proficiency Test Level Standards" promulgated by the Ministry of Education divides the proficiency of speaking Mandarin into three levels, and each level is divided into two levels: A and B. Level 1 is standard Mandarin, Level 2 is relatively standard Mandarin, and Level 3 is general level Mandarin. The state has put forward different requirements for various types of employees who "use Mandarin as the working language". In schools, teachers are required to speak Mandarin in class. Teachers born after January 1, 1954 are also required to take a Mandarin proficiency test, reach Level 2 B or above, and hold a certificate to work. Students' Mandarin proficiency is encouraged to be as high as possible. Students majoring in teacher education must reach Level 2 B or above, otherwise they will not be able to graduate. Administrative cadres are required to reach corresponding levels according to different age groups, among which young comrades are required to reach Level 2 B or above.

The state also requires schools to use Mandarin as the campus language, which means that teachers, students and employees are required to speak Mandarin in formal occasions such as education and teaching, meetings, publicity, and group activities, and everyone is also encouraged to speak Mandarin in informal occasions on campus.

Standardized Chinese characters include simplified characters and other characters that do not need to be simplified. Promoting standardized Chinese characters and using standardized Chinese characters requires us not to write typos in written expressions for the public, not to use irregular simplified characters, self-made characters and eliminated variant characters, and not to abuse traditional Chinese characters.

In schools, first of all, standardized Chinese characters should be used in teaching, and secondly in public facilities (signboards, signs, etc.), official characters (official documents, seals, etc.), printed materials, and posters (notices, notices, etc.). Standard Chinese characters must be used in all public-facing wording situations such as notices, posters, slogans and other promotional materials).

Creating a standardized campus language and writing environment is also an important aspect of our promotion of quality education and creating a civilized, elegant and positive campus cultural environment. It is an important part of the construction of school spiritual civilization. Speaking Mandarin and writing standardized characters is not just a matter of speaking and writing. It represents a person's language quality, which is related to a person's overall quality and civilization level. Language is the carrier of knowledge and culture. The improvement of language quality is the basis for improving our ability to collect and process information, acquire new knowledge, analyze and solve problems. It also has an inherent promotion in the formation, development and performance of our overall quality. effect. The improvement of each person's overall quality will have a good aggregation effect on the campus's cultural environment. The standardized campus language environment is an integral part of the tangible campus cultural environment.

Let us work together so that everyone can speak Mandarin and write standardized characters, and do our best to create a standardized campus language and writing environment, so that the standardization of language and writing in our school can be achieved The school has reached a new level under the current good situation.
