Talking about Chinese

This problem involves the theory of advantages and disadvantages of language. I was reviewing when I took the postgraduate entrance examination last year, and there were ~ ~

First of all, from a linguistic point of view, there is no good or bad language. Chinese has its advantages. Let's analyze it from the following points:

1, hyperspace. There are two kinds of characters, one is phonography (such as pinyin characters) and the other is ideographic characters. Accurately speaking, Chinese characters belong to pictophonetic characters, 90% of which are pictophonetic characters. Chinese characters are ideographic characters, so they are not closely related to sounds (although there are sounds, as we all know, many ancient sounds have changed over time, so now the sounds of Chinese characters are not exactly the same as those of the whole word! ), so even if the pronunciation has changed since ancient times, or there are different dialects because of regional differences, it will not affect the reading of a book! The simple truth is that Cao Xueqin's ancestral home is in Liaoning, but readers in the north and south of A Dream of Red Mansions can read it, and today, more than 200 years later, we still have no much trouble reading it. This advantage is incomparable to Pinyin! Old English is rarely seen now ~ ~

2. Chinese characters are also one of the four ancient writing systems independently formed in the world, namely: sacred characters in ancient Egypt, Oracle characters in ancient Mesopotamia, Mayan characters in Central America and Chinese characters.

3. Chinese has four tones: flat tone, rising tone, falling tone, which makes Chinese syllables have musical beauty, which other languages do not have.

Finally, Chinese is the language with the largest population in the world.

I compiled the above according to the teaching materials and memories, hoping it will be useful to the landlord ~ ~
