Comment on "Oracle Bone Inscriptions Banner" to welcome the new, ancient prose can also be used for new.

On September 8, the campus of Hunan Vocational College for Nationalities was hung with welcome banners to welcome new students. In particular, all the banners here are in the form of Oracle Bone Inscriptions, attracting many teachers and students to stop and watch. Many students said that although they didn't understand it, it was very interesting. This way of "new use of ancient prose" not only gives people a sense of freshness, but also causes thinking about traditional culture.

Nowadays, with the development of science and technology, people spend more and more time typing with mobile phones and computers, and less and less time actually writing. Faced with simplified characters used in daily life, people often forget to write, not to mention the in-depth study of ancient Chinese culture. Actually, it's not hard to understand. In most people's cognition, language is only a tool for communication and expression, while ancient Chinese characters such as Oracle Bone Inscriptions do not conform to the current habit of pursuing convenient communication. Its illegible truth gives people a sense of cultural distance, so it should only exist in scholars' research and major museums. At present, culture, as a treasure left by history, is often neglected in today's society, while foreign festivals and new trends of thought seem to have entered the sight of young people, as if they can match the "taste" of the times.

Hunan Vocational College for Nationalities chose "Oracle Bone Inscriptions Banner" to welcome freshmen, which gave us a hint: there is no way to shorten the distance between ancient Chinese characters and real life. There are two reasons why "Oracle Bone Inscriptions Banner" can attract teachers and students and bring a sense of interest: on the one hand, Oracle Bone Inscriptions, as the source of hieroglyphics in China, has a unique formal beauty and heavy historical precipitation since its birth. The charm of this civilization will not dissipate with the passage of time, and it will always be rooted in the hearts of Chinese children; On the other hand, the form of "new use of ancient prose" seamlessly connects Oracle Bone Inscriptions with daily life. This way of entertaining and moistening things silently not only makes plain slogans have a cultural temperature, but also effectively promotes Chinese character culture and reduces the sense of distance between ancient Chinese and people's real life.

In fact, the thinking brought by "Oracle Bone Inscriptions Banner" should not be confined to Chinese character culture, but should rise to the whole level of traditional culture. There is no doubt that it is very important to "utilize" traditional culture and make it enter the public's field of vision and communication. This innovative form of Hunan universities is undoubtedly a powerful step for traditional culture to enter the campus. Although traditional culture has made gratifying achievements in campus, we must also be aware of some problems, such as the lack of a unified traditional culture education system; The areas and forms of traditional cultural and educational activities are not balanced; Teachers' traditional cultural literacy needs to be strengthened. The key to carry forward traditional culture is not to impart profound knowledge rigidly, but to make it close to public life and subtly enhance people's cultural identity. To make traditional culture alive, we need to abandon simple preaching, proceed from real life, organically combine public interest hotspots, innovate forms, and give new life to traditional culture.

It is true that the innovation and development of traditional culture has a long way to go, but the "Oracle Bone Inscriptions Banner" event tells us that from the perspective of life practice, traditional culture is not incompatible with the trend of life. "Oracle Bone Inscriptions Banner" starts at school, which is a good starting point. We hope to see traditional culture become a hot topic for young people, taking young people as a breakthrough and living in society and even the world.
