Come in, master of Chinese language and characters, the image of Chinese characters.

Chinese characters, which are widely used in the cultural circle of Chinese characters, belong to morpheme syllables of ideographic writing system [1]. Chinese characters were created by China people in ancient times, and the history of letters can be traced back to Oracle Bone Inscriptions in Shang Dynasty around 2000 BC. Chinese characters have developed to a high level in ancient times, not only in China, but also as the only international writing in East Asia for a long time. Before the 20th century, it was the official written standard of Japan, Korea, Vietnam and other East and Southeast Asian countries.

Modern Chinese characters can be roughly divided into simplified characters and standardized characters in the Chinese system. The former is mainly used in Chinese communities in Chinese mainland, Malaysia, Singapore and Southeast Asia, while the latter is mainly used in Chinese communities in Taiwan Province Province (also known as Traditional Chinese), Hongkong, Macau, Europe and North America. Generally speaking, users of both systems can see the characters of the other system. Japan and South Korea have formulated official norms for the use of Chinese characters, but Chinese characters no longer have the status of official norms in Vietnam and North Korea.

Language is a bridge for the nation to take off.

Language is the voice of a nation, a bridge between people and a symbol of an ancient civilization. Text is a tool for recording language.

Mandarin is the common language in China, and it is a tool for all China people to communicate and communicate their thoughts and feelings. On the world stage, Mandarin is the voice of China, and standardizing Chinese characters is the image of China. But sometimes, people's behavior will inadvertently affect this voice and image.

A foreigner asked for directions in China. "How can I get to Guangming Hotel?" "Go ahead from here, turn a corner, and you'll get there without pulling for a while!" "There is no such word as' no festival' in the Chinese I learned!" No matter how well the foreigner learns Chinese, he probably won't understand the meaning of not taking a break!

Even a lady Zhang said: My foreign friends came to visit and said they were waiting for me in front of a "treasure house". Living in the city for many years, I really can't remember where there will be a "treasure house", and she has repeatedly stressed that it is a "treasure house". Later, after inquiring and detouring, I finally found the "treasure house" in my friend's mouth, and other friends who made an appointment were also confused and came one after another. It turned out that she mistakenly read the traditional "thing" as "treasure", and everyone couldn't help laughing.

All this happened in the window cities, and it was not only in the face of China's population of more than one billion. There are thousands of foreign friends. We should show the world the unique charm of China's spoken and written language and the dignity of the Chinese nation, better spread traditional culture and promote cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries. However, how can we communicate in this way? It seems that language and writing work is still imminent!

In addition, promoting the standardization of language and writing is the need of communication between people from different regions and different cultural backgrounds.

Let's listen to a real conversation between two people from different regions:

One day, Qin Daoshi, the curator of a museum, had an urgent official business to see the health minister Huang.

Dean Qin: "Is the minister there?"

Minister Huang: "I just won't talk about it."

Dean Qin felt puzzled and then said, "Is Minister Huang there?"

Minister Huang: "I forgot! (Huang and Lu)

Dean Qin was really angry: "I have something urgent to find him." Why not just talk about it? "

Are you teasing me? I'm telling you, I'm Qin Daoxue, and I want to talk to the minister! "

Minister Huang was scolded and angry! He replied loudly, "Don't ask me!

I just forgot! I just don't talk! "

Dean Qin is more confused this time! In fact, Minister Huang was asking you when he listened to Qin's teachings. He said, I am Huang Helu, and I am a minister.

Please think about it, around us, these jokes brought by the South-to-North accent, these troubles brought by the language barrier are still less? If we continue to develop blindly, how will we carry forward the essence of our national language? How to popularize and develop Chinese homophones? It's really time for us to return the true colors of the national language and its standardization.

Popularizing Putonghua and standardized Chinese characters is related to the sovereignty and dignity of the country, the unity of the motherland and the unity of the nation, and the development and progress of society. Should start with me, alluding to the surrounding. Because language represents the prosperity of the Chinese nation! It makes us arrogant! Let us be proud! Let us be proud!
