At the beginning of this month, CCTV Spring Festival Gala publicly released the main logo, and the eight words "Long Xing, Xinxin Home" quickly gained a lot of attention. Among them, the word "龘" attracts the audience to participate in the discussion. According to the "Kangxi Dictionary", "龘" comes from the "Jade Chapter", the sound is the same as "沓 (da)", and the "dragon line 龘龘" describes the appearance of the dragon soaring, high-spirited and enthusiastic, on the occasion of the arrival of the Year of the Dragon, reflecting the positive spiritual outlook of the people, and entrusting a beautiful meaning.
The reason why "龘" became popular on the Internet is inseparable from its special identity as a rare word. Rare characters are an important part of the Chinese character system, an exclusive cultural memory symbol of the Chinese nation, and an important carrier for inheriting Chinese civilization. However, due to the complex structure, unfamiliar pronunciation, and rare usage, most of the rare words wander outside the public life all the year round and rarely appear in people's field of vision. This time, the word "龘" "appeared" on the Spring Festival Gala, reflecting the new trend of rare words integrating into the trend of the times, and rare words appeared in a way that the public liked to see, becoming more existential.
On the road to the popularization of rare words, there have been many difficulties. Many rare characters have not been entered into the font database, and have been replaced by other homophones in the context of household registration entry and place name surveyMost of the rare words do not belong to the scope of classroom teaching, and the meaning and usage of rare words are rarely knownWith the development of the times, there are some rare characters that are regarded as symbols of old papers, and at the same time, they are ignored, and their value of the times is also ignored.
There is an opinion that rare words are not commonly used, so they have no value Xi research and learning. In fact, rare characters are an indispensable part of the inheritance and development of Chinese character culture. At present, we are facing multiple challenges such as digitalization and electronic device input, and phenomena such as forgetting to write and "aphasia" are warning people that the development of Chinese character culture is facing a crisis. The promotion of rare characters not only makes people shine, but also makes people feel the weight of Chinese character history and culture. This practice preserves cultural heritage from another perspective and awakens people's attention to Chinese characters.
Rare characters should not sit on the "cold bench", but should closely follow the changes in the means of communication, circulate in diversified media channels, and take root and grow in the new cultural soil. To strengthen the protection and inheritance of rare characters, we can try to integrate rare characters into modern literary creation, art design and other fields, and let more people understand and love these unique cultural symbols through the combination of modern elements.
龘 is not the first rare word to come into people's field of vision. In recent years, many rare words have become known, and they have been able to be used flexibly in the new era, and even become an online spectacle. For example, the original meaning of the word "囧" is bright, but it is used as a pictogram by netizens, so it derives meanings such as depression and speechlessness.
Although some rare words have been misinterpreted in the process of promotion, it is undeniable that rare words have indeed gained new development vitality and vitality. Promoting rare characters does not mean that everyone must be proficient in using and writing rare words;More people can be curious about rare characters under the guidance of propaganda, and understand the history and story behind each Chinese character while "playing with memes", and the development of Chinese character culture in the new era can reap twice the result with half the effort.
