Me and Mandarin

The 21st century is an era of knowledge economy characterized by knowledge innovation and application. The rapid development of science and technology, the increasingly intense international competition, and the competition of comprehensive national strength are increasingly determined by the quality of the people. Speaking Mandarin well is something Chinese people must do. Our country is a multi-ethnic, multi-lingual and multi-dialect country with a large population. Promoting and popularizing Mandarin is conducive to enhancing exchanges among various ethnic groups and regions, maintaining national unity, and enhancing the cohesion of the Chinese nation. Mandarin is the national language of our country and the language symbol of China. . It allows friends of different nationalities from all over the world to talk together in the same language. It can enable China to better cooperate and communicate with friends from all over the world, making China more prosperous and stronger. Mandarin is a symbol of civilization and has a very close relationship with us. With it, our campus will be more civilized and there will be more love and care in the world.

For thousands of years, language and writing have been faced with interpersonal communication. The emergence of computers and the acceleration of information circulation have expanded the service objects of language and writing from interpersonal communication to human-computer communication. Today, Chinese information processing technology has become one of the focuses of high technology. The standardization and application research level of language and characters are prerequisites for Chinese information processing technology. It determines the speed of development of Chinese information processing technology. It is related to our country. The big question is whether we can get on the "information highway". Therefore, Mandarin also plays an important role in promoting the development of high-tech in our country and enhancing overall national strength. When communication is frequent and even the "global village" will enter our lives, barrier-free and convenient communication becomes increasingly important.

I remember there was a joke. The minister called Xiao Zhang. Xiao Zhang picked up the phone and said: "Hello, I am the principal (Xiao Zhang)." When the minister heard this, did he make a typo? When Xiao Zhang didn't answer, he asked again: "Who are you?" The minister said: "I just won't talk about it (minister)!" The two people hung up the inexplicable phone call at the same time. After listening to this, I unconsciously thought that this was a joke caused by speaking in tongues. This highlights the importance of Mandarin. A very embarrassing incident made me determined to study Mandarin seriously. One day when I went home, I heard a family talking about "airplanes". Being hungry, I immediately thought it was a fat chicken, but I stupidly added: "Where is the fat chicken? I'm hungry?" Then the whole family laughed. At that time, I naturally refused to admit that I was too greedy, so I decided that the culprit was that my hometown dialect was not standard, and I couldn't distinguish between "airplane" and "fat chicken". No one would have thought that that "childish excuse" would benefit me throughout my life. I am now the school announcer.

Since the promotion of Mandarin in our school, the whole school has taken on a new look and has undergone great changes. The coquettish voices of the students have disappeared, and the rude and uncivilized voices have disappeared. The students have become more polite, and the school has become more civilized. Now that class is in session, the students answer questions with clear and loud voices, instead of the low voices they used to answer questions. Every parent reported that their children's expressive abilities have improved significantly and their personalities have become lively and cheerful. Mandarin also adds style to the school, and there are famous quotes about Mandarin in the principal's room. There are warning signs in every classroom that read "Mandarin is the campus language." The school also conducts selections for Mandarin model classes every month. Whichever class scores the most points in the "Mandarin Scoring Column" will be given a pennant.

Speaking Mandarin well is convenient for you and me. If you don't learn Mandarin well, it will be difficult for you to interact with others. If everyone takes action, start from me, train every day and all the time, and create an atmosphere, an environment where everyone speaks Mandarin. I think that Mandarin will not be so far away from us and no longer so strange. You must know: "The four seas have the same voice, and all people are of one mind"!

Mandarin is the common language of Chinese people and a bridge of communication between people in various regions.

Mandarin is closely related to everyone’s study and life.

Do you know the origin of Mandarin? not understand? Let me tell you!

The name "Putonghua" was proposed by Zhu Wenxiong, an activist of the "Qieyinzi Movement" in the late Qing Dynasty. In a book called "New Alphabet of Jiangsu" written in 1906, he divided Chinese into three categories. One of them is "Mandarin". He also noted that Mandarin is "the language commonly used in all provinces." At that time, people also called "Mandarin" "Lanqing Mandarin".

Since the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, Beijing has been the political, economic and cultural center of the country. Many people from all over the world come to Beijing over time, and they have also learned Beijing dialect mixed with local accents. So people use "blue and green" as a metaphor for it. At first, this kind of language was only used in official circles, so it was also called "official language". Later, because more and more people could speak "Mandarin", it was inappropriate to call it "Mandarin", so in the early years of the Republic of China, a new term was coined, called "Guoyu".

There have been objections to the name "Guoyu" since its inception. In 1931, Mr. Qu Qiubai opposed the use of the term "Guoyu" and gave a more scientific explanation of "Putonghua". Therefore, the term "Guoyu" has been indifferent to the Chinese people.

After the liberation of the country, the People's Government paid great attention to the reform of Chinese characters. It not only made "Putonghua" a strictly defined academic term, but also regarded the promotion of "Putonghua" as an important task of character reform.

"Putonghua" is still used today and has become an important communication tool for people from all over the world. If people don't know how to speak Mandarin, they'll be in trouble. Don’t believe it? Let me tell you a little thing during the summer vacation.

This summer vacation, our family of seven went to Putuo for a trip. Along the way, cars, trains, and large ships kept spinning, and I felt very tired. So I found a hotel nearby and stayed.

At noon, we dragged our tired bodies to the restaurant one by one. When the waiter asked us questions in the local "Putuo dialect", I vaguely heard her asking us: "Want something to eat?" What?" But my sister and the others couldn't understand. The aunt hurriedly asked her in Hangzhou dialect: "What are you talking about?" But they couldn't understand this Hangzhou dialect even after a lot of effort. I quietly said to Auntie: "Auntie, can you try to speak Mandarin to her?" Everyone thought it was right. The aunt told the waiter the name of the dish she wanted to order in Mandarin. The waiter also answered in Mandarin. In this way, we communicated well and enjoyed the meal.

It is not difficult to see the importance of "Mandarin" from this little thing. I think that "Mandarin" is the common language in our country. It will be more convenient for communication if everyone learns to speak "Mandarin". If we don't speak "Mandarin", then the communication between us Chinese people will be just like "foreigners" who can't understand each other. What a terrible thing! Therefore, I suggest that if someone hasn't learned to speak "Mandarin" yet, learn it as soon as possible. Only by learning to speak "Mandarin" can you avoid blushing and speaking in words that others cannot understand.

Once, I went to a town in Dongtai for testing. A middle school teacher exchanged with me his views on the promotion of Mandarin very seriously. He said: First, conducting Mandarin tests will hinder us at the points of teacher appointment and professional title promotion; second, promoting Mandarin is suspected of language discrimination. To paraphrase a lyric in Mandarin, "It's not easy to say I love you." My heart sank. Even middle school teachers with higher education have such a strong rejection reaction to speaking Mandarin. So, how can the vast number of civil servants, teachers and window industry employees born after 1954 be allowed to speak Mandarin in a short period of time? What an arduous task it is to meet the within-time test standards!

Later I saw several reports one after another:

Report 1: The son of an ordinary peasant woman in Yangma Township, Sheyang County passed the college entrance examination, and the villagers happily gave her family A couplet was sent: "Tsinghua University is your pride in this life, and Yangma is your eternal hometown." As a mother, she understands the sincerity of the villagers, which is to warn her children not to be a native of the country for one year, a foreign country for two years, and not recognize their father and mother for three years, just not to forget their roots and their hometown.

Before her son left home, she gave her many warnings: Son, we are from the countryside. When we go to college, we must not look down on country people, and we must not forget our roots. After going to school, this simple rural child did not forget his mother's instructions. Even when he called his mother, he would try to remind himself not to speak Mandarin but to use dialect, because this could clearly tell his mother that he had not forgotten his roots! However, one day, when he heard his mother's blunt Mandarin with a strong local accent coming from the other end of the phone, he was shocked: How could a peasant woman who had never been out of Sheyang speak Mandarin? The mother seemed to sense his surprise and said: My son, our Chinese herbal medicine business in Yangma is very good now, and businessmen from other places come to us to place orders one after another. If we speak in dialect, others will not understand us, so folks in the countryside are now learning to speak Mandarin. From today on, you must speak Mandarin when you talk to your mother. This is also a good opportunity for me to learn to speak Mandarin. The son was overjoyed and sighed with emotion: Today, the rural economy is developing, and farmers' language concepts and outlook are also advancing with the times!

Report 2: When hiring a nanny, you must be able to speak Mandarin. Mr. Huang from Nanjing wanted to find a nanny for his son who was under one year old. He placed an advertisement in the newspaper. The nanny must have a high school diploma and speak Mandarin. Mr. Huang told reporters that the nanny's words and deeds will have a great impact on the children, and demanding high standards on the nanny is responsible for the children.

Report 3: If you can speak Mandarin, you can get discounts on shopping. Radio Television Hong Kong's Mandarin Station decided to hold the first Mandarin Day on September 13, 2001, sponsored by the "HSBC Mandarin Fund", to encourage Hong Kong people to speak Mandarin. Radio Television Hong Kong also cooperates with organizations such as the Hong Kong Tourism Services Association and the Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce to invite their approximately 3,000 member merchants to launch the "Mandarin Day Shopping Promotion" activity. On September 13, customers who go to stores with "Mandarin Day" posters and shop in Mandarin will receive a 50% discount.

Oh, it turns out that Mandarin has entered all aspects of social life, and speaking Mandarin has gradually become a conscious behavior for many people.

"Facing modernization and promoting Mandarin", "Speaking Mandarin well is convenient for you, me and others." With such a good social environment, I think, I want to say to everyone sincerely: In fact, in Mandarin, it is easy to say I love you.

"Elegant language inherits civilization, and classics infiltrate life." To carry forward China's excellent traditional culture and build the unique spiritual home of the Chinese nation, Mandarin is inseparable.

Putonghua refers to the modern standard language that “takes Beijing pronunciation as the standard pronunciation, Northern dialect as the basic dialect, and typical modern vernacular works as the grammatical standard.” Mandarin is the common language of people of all ethnic groups in my country. It is mellow, melodious and melodious, making it the most beautiful language in the world. Today our country has achieved unprecedented unity and unity in politics, economy, and culture. The people of the country are united under the leadership of the party and the government and strive for the common goal of building socialism. The people are eager to A different language is needed. If there is no such common language, it will bring certain difficulties to the political, economic and cultural life of our people. Therefore, vigorously promoting Mandarin among people across the country is an important political task.

To learn Mandarin well, you must learn Chinese Pinyin and understand the "Hanyu Pinyin Plan".

Unfortunately, in real life, although many people know Chinese Pinyin, they do not necessarily understand the "Hanyu Pinyin Plan", and of course they do not know the ups and downs that the "Hanyu Pinyin Plan" has experienced.

The "Hanyu Pinyin Plan" refers to the Chinese Pinyin alphabet and its spelling rules formulated by the state. It is the legal pinyin scheme of the People's Republic of China and the State, and is the international standard for spelling special nouns and words related to China in the world's documentation work. On February 11, 1958, the Fifth Session of the First National People's Congress officially passed the "Chinese Pinyin Plan" and approved its promulgation and implementation. The "Chinese Pinyin Plan" is a plan that uses the internationally accepted Latin alphabet and uses a phonemic syllable structure to spell Mandarin with Beijing pronunciation as the standard pronunciation.

It includes four parts: alphabet, initial consonant table, vowel table, and tone symbols. The alphabet stipulates the shape, name and arrangement order of letters. There are 26 letters in total, 25 of which spell all the syllables in Mandarin. The initial consonant table and final vowel table are specified based on the phonetic structure characteristics of Mandarin. 25 letters are combined into 21 initial consonants and 39 finals. Its main uses are: 1. It is used to phoneticize Chinese characters to improve the efficiency of teaching Chinese characters; 2. It is used to phonetic notate Chinese characters and spell Mandarin to help teach Mandarin; 3. It is used as a synonym for the writing created by ethnic minorities in my country. Basics; 4. It can be used to solve the translation problems of names of people, places and scientific terms; 5. It can help foreigners learn Chinese to promote international cultural exchanges; 6. It can solve the problem of indexing; 7. Linguists can use Pinyin Plan to continue various research and experimental work on the pinyinization of Chinese characters. In addition, pinyin letters can also be used in the future to solve problems such as computer Chinese character input, telegraphs, semaphores, and industrial product code names. In the past, because there was no official pinyin alphabet, some code names used phonetic alphabets, Russian letters, and some used English letters, which was quite confusing. Once we have the Chinese Pinyin solution, this type of problem will be easy to solve.

From the fact that "26 letters have been developed for three years", we can know that the experience of the "Chinese Pinyin Project" is extraordinary. She embodies the years of hard work of Wu Yuzhang, Lin Boqu, Xiao San, Qu Qiubai, Long Guofu, Guo Zhisheng and many other predecessors.

Hanyu Pinyin is the "Latinization" plan of Chinese characters of the Republic of China. Hanyu Pinyin not only formulates and implements Chinese Pinyin programs to notate Chinese characters and help promote Mandarin, but it has also played a huge role in international exchanges, teaching Chinese as a foreign language, computer input, mobile phone input, sign language, Braille and other fields, and has played a huge role in promoting Mandarin. It is even more significant. After the Chinese Pinyin program is announced and implemented, the number of people learning Chinese with the help of the Pinyin program will increase even more.

However, Mandarin has become a weak language and a second-class language. Because nowadays, when Chinese people are promoted, enter higher education, take postgraduate entrance examinations, or study for Ph.D., they all have to take a foreign language test. We have fallen into the abnormal worship of foreign languages ??(mainly English). In China, if you are an English major and get any degree, as long as you are willing, it is like picking something up. How can this Chinese characteristic keep people calm about English? This is actually a serious issue related to the survival prospects of this nation's culture. Therefore, it is urgent to carry forward the excellent Chinese culture, inherit Chinese civilization, learn Chinese Pinyin well, and promote Mandarin!

Secondly, let “learning Chinese pinyin and promoting Mandarin” become the political task of every Chinese: language and writing work embodies the national will, sovereignty consciousness and national consciousness.

Therefore, "learning Chinese Pinyin and promoting Mandarin" can become a political task for every Chinese, especially national civil servants!

3. Link “learning Chinese Pinyin and promoting Mandarin” with value orientation: People tend to pay attention to things related to their immediate interests.

"Hanyu Pinyin not only belongs to China, but also to the world. It has been integrated into the lives of hundreds of millions of people and lives with us day and night."
