Understanding of Chinese

Chinese is the best language in the world (and the most difficult to learn).

Chinese is the most advanced language in the world. Chinese is the only advanced language in the world that does not use letters. (Korean and Japanese are the same, right? ) Korean is not. Korean is a phonetic symbol.

Chinese is a hieroglyph created by industrious and intelligent ancient people in China according to the images of things in life. Its advantage is that people who have never studied Chinese can guess the meaning of words according to their appearance. (Alas, people like me are too stupid to guess.)

First of all, historically, the earliest Chinese character Oracle Bone Inscriptions appeared in the Shang Dynasty more than 3,000 years ago. Now some research bachelors can interpret it. By the Qin Dynasty, in 22 1 year BC, everyone who was interested or knowledgeable could know a lot about Xiao Zhuan and Li Shu after Qin Shihuang unified the script. During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, regular script was known to all. Although the Egyptian script predates us by more than 2000 years, no one can explain the ancient Egyptian script now. Then there is English, which is now widely popular. 300 years ago, Shakespeare's works were beyond the understanding of ordinary undergraduates. This first shows the vitality of Chinese and its great development prospects. (I am quite)

The most obvious advantage of Chinese is its open mind. Ruan Cishan said in an article "Great Times Short Stories" that the thinking speed of Chinese is faster than that of English. In mathematics, because of monosyllabic pronunciation, the response speed to numbers is also faster. But in terms of logical thinking, Pinyin is better. However, judging from the development trend of human civilization, Chinese, as an ideographic language, can accommodate the impact of information and knowledge explosion because it can freely combine new terms, new concepts and even new ideas. There is no doubt that it will develop into the same language of human beings, and it will be more convenient and colorful to exchange ideas in this language.

The quality of a language actually depends on two aspects: first, whether it can be mastered with little memory; Second, whether you can master more knowledge than others in your lifetime. To put it to a limit, it should be: the best language is the language that you can learn without learning, but you know the most, or the language that you learn less and know more.

Why is Chinese a language of "learning less and understanding more"? Because Chinese thinking is faster than English. Because Chinese uses' sound', it makes Chinese think faster than English. Mandarin has 2/kloc-0 initials, 35 finals and four tones. The result of continuous multiplication is 2900 tones, but 2500 tones can be used. The actual tone used in Putonghua is 1200 tones. Compared with Mandarin, English has 20 vowels and 20 consonants in the International Phonetic Alphabet, so the number of English sounds will not exceed 20× 20 = 400. On the other hand, any sound that is not within these 400 sounds is not recognized by English, or is considered as an incorrect pronunciation; This is not a syllable. By comparison, we can see that the pronunciation of Chinese is three times that of English.

Let's talk about why the more kinds of sounds, the faster the thinking speed. Suppose a person can only pronounce two sounds, specifically, he can pronounce two sounds, A and B. According to computer theory, we know that he can still express the whole world with these two symbols. Suppose that there are only 400 things to express in the world, then an Englishman can express one of the 400 things with each pronunciation, while a person who can only pronounce two sounds sometimes expresses one of the 400 things with nine pronunciations, because nine times of two is only greater than 400. For example, the British use' I' to mean' I', and people who only know two sounds may use abbababba to mean the concept of' I'. It takes about a quarter of a second for the average person to make a sound. Comparing the two, we can see that people who only know two kinds of voices not only express slowly, but also work hard. When expressing the concept of' I', the British use a quarter of a second, and people with only two voices use two and a quarter seconds. If two people live in this ratio all their lives, all the information they enjoy in their lives will be its inverse ratio of 9: 1. In the actual situation, the most obvious is the contrast between Japanese and Chinese. As we know, Japanese uses 100 different sounds, while Chinese uses 1200 sounds. Therefore, many Chinese characters, when Japanese want to read, must be expressed in two or three sounds. Let's assume that all words in Japanese are expressed by two sounds. Doesn't that mean that the information that Japanese people can enjoy in their lifetime is only half that of China people? We know that thinking is actually a process of speaking from the heart. If you speak quickly, then the speed of thinking should follow. A concrete example is that Zhao Yuanren once compared the speed of memorizing multiplication formulas in English and Chinese. Chinese took 30 seconds and English took 45 seconds. Therefore, if two people recite in English and Chinese at the same time, by the time of 30 seconds, Chinese users must have thought of 998 1, while English users must not be here. Perhaps, he only thought of seven seven forty-nine. This proves that using languages with more pronunciations is faster than using languages with less pronunciations. This has been confirmed by many scholars at home and abroad.

There is a Cox report in the United States, which gives a lot of comparisons, indicating that it is impossible for China people to achieve the effect of more than 30 or 40 nuclear tests in the United States 1000. The only explanation is that China stole American technology. Some people also refer to this incident as the Li Wenhe incident. If those Americans study the thinking differences between China and Britain. We can find out why the progress of 30 or 40 nuclear tests in China is almost the same as that of more than 1,000 nuclear tests in the United States.

The reason why we think Chinese will definitely win English is not here. The key is to solve the problem of knowledge explosion that mankind is facing at present. As we know, there are more than one million English words, including all kinds of biological names and new terms of patent inventions. If we consider that there are some elements in English that can be deduced and associated; Such as prefixes, suffixes and compound words, it also needs to remember one million basic words. And these words can be expressed in 4000 Chinese characters. Domestic physics experts can use his basic knowledge of chemistry in middle school to read through the papers of chemistry experts. On the other hand, English is really interlaced like a mountain. It is casting pearls before swine for experts from different industries in Britain and America to exchange academic achievements. With this advantage, Chinese is qualified to become a world language, and some scholars in our country have to pinyin Chinese. Isn't this an effective example of learning from the East as a toddler in Handan?

For example, the word pork stands for pork in English, which has nothing to do with pigs and meat, but only represents a combination of them. If pork, mutton, beef, beef, lard, lard, sheep fat and butter talons are put together and compared, it is found that all conjunctions in English are new symbols, which have nothing to do with any of them, but constitute the main body of English vocabulary. The fundamental reason is that if pork is changed into the form of pig and meat together, it will sound four times, and pork will only sound twice. Therefore, conjunctions can save pronunciation but increase memory, and participles do not need memory but increase pronunciation times. Imagine that a butcher uses the word' pork' thousands of times a day. A word with two pronunciations saves two thousand pronunciations than a word with four pronunciations. Why not? But when it comes to uncommon words, English, like Chinese, uses decomposed words, such as donkey meat. Because of the words that are not commonly used, even if the symbolic form is established, others can't remember them. Chinese can decompose English conjunctions, which is very useful and greatly reduces the vocabulary that needs to be memorized. Not only that, it can also clearly sort out the position of words in people's minds. The birth of Darwinism is based on Linnaeus's binomial method, which makes all kinds of impressions change from the original plane to three-dimensional in the mind. For example, before Linnaeus, people named all living things. In this way, because there are too many kinds, the same creature may have two names, while other creatures may have no names. Linnaeus first classified all creatures, gave them a class name, and then put a word under the class name, which formed the name of binomial method. This is not only clear, but also greatly reduces the symbols that need to be memorized; For example, there used to be 10,000 names, but now they are divided into 100 categories, and each category is 100. What we need to remember is only 100 class names and 100 species names, * * * 200, instead of the original 10000. With the explosion of knowledge becoming more and more serious, it is necessary for human beings to transform other terms in this way, and the only way at present is to transform them according to the structure of Chinese.

This phenomenon was first realized by Leibniz of Germany, who believed that Chinese was the group language that the western world had dreamed of since Aristotle. But he didn't see the real characteristics of sound, but because of the quantitative expression of Chinese characters, he defined Chinese characters as the most advanced characters in the world. I think if he sees today's knowledge explosion world, he will definitely ask all countries in the world to abolish pinyin and adopt Chinese characters. Therefore, we in China also have the right to sue those so-called civilized westerners who cause environmental pollution and destroy forests and grasslands. They are. Because printing a book with the same content, western languages waste twice as much paper as Chinese, and the number of people who use western languages in the world is five times that of Chinese. If multiplied by multiple factors, we will waste more than 10-20 times of wood and increase industrial wastewater by more than 20 times. As far as the superiority of language is concerned, westerners are not qualified to make irresponsible remarks about Chinese. Even illiterate people know to find Chinese texts from the five working languages of the United Nations, because Chinese texts are the thinnest.

Finally, talk about how many words or symbols a person can remember in his life. The number of Chinese characters used in China is usually 3,000 to 4,000, while Shakespeare has only 30,000 words in English, and he can master them all. However, by Churchill's time, his vocabulary was still 30 thousand, and by that time, there were nearly one million words in English. So I think Shakespeare's proficiency in the use of English vocabulary is beyond the reach of future generations. How many words do you need to master in learning English? The requirement of linguists for English words is that an educated English user should master 50,000 to 250,000 words, which is not only a big gap, but also, according to this standard, Shakespeare and Churchill should be illiterate, at least uneducated people.

Through the above arguments, Chinese has many advantages, such as fast thinking speed, strong ability to form words, being able to solve the problem of knowledge explosion faced by human beings at present, and great development prospects, so Chinese is the best language in the world.
