Our Chinese characters, one stroke at a time, tell the history of 5,000 years and make the world pay attention. Every word is a story, whether it is written one by one, or the structure of pictograms, it is full of wisdom and charm.
These are our Chinese characters, they are not only a kind of writing, but also a kind of culture, a kind of inheritance. As sung in the song "Rare Words", each word has a unique meaning and value, although it may be inconspicuous in daily life, but they bloom more brightly in the song.
Let's feel the charm of Chinese characters and inherit this precious culture.
This song has introduced more people to some rare words that are not common in daily life. These words, when presented on their own, can be so confusing that they don't even pronounce correctly.
However, through these rare characters, we can feel the breadth and profundity of Chinese characters. Almost every Chinese character has a story behind it, and it can be said that Chinese characters are the core of Chinese culture.
Chinese characters are the longest-lasting script, and they are the only inheritors of the major writing systems in ancient times. Whenever the meaning of Chinese characters is mentioned, we spontaneously feel an indescribable sense of national pride.
This is where the confidence of the Chinese nation lies. The Chinese characters we use in modern times include the Kai block glyphs, both traditional and simplified. At present, there are fewer people using traditional Chinese characters on the mainland, and we are most accustomed to using simplified Chinese characters.
Although simplified characters have become mainstream in Chinese mainland, traditional characters are still popular in Taiwan Province. Whether it is simplified or traditional characters, they all originate from the evolution of oracle bone script, golden script, large seal, small seal, official script, cursive script, regular script and line script, etc., which have witnessed the long history of the development of the Chinese nation and provided support for us to stand tall in the world.
Imagine how the Chinese nation would have survived without Chinese characters? However, during the ** period, someone went so far as to propose the abolition of Chinese characters. This proposal angered Zhao Yuanren, the father of modern Chinese linguistics, and he refuted the suggestion by writing a curious essay with the same pronunciation of the entire 96-character essay.
Zhao Yuanren was a genius, the name Xuanzhong, born in Tianjin, originally from Wujin, Jiangsu (now Changzhou, Jiangsu), and was a descendant of the famous poet Zhao Yi of the Qing Dynasty.
Zhao Yuanren's parents were both cultural leaders, his father was a champion in the Qing Dynasty, and his mother was a talented poet and Kunqu opera.
At the age of 8, Zhao Yuanren returned to his hometown of Changzhou Qingguo Lane with his parents and entered the second middle school of the family school, and at the age of 14, he was sent by his parents to Changzhou Xishan Primary School, and then entered the preparatory department of Nanjing Jiangnan Higher School, with excellent academic performance.
When the Qing Imperial Court Office of Tourism and Aesthetics selected students to study in the United States, Zhao Yuanren actively participated in the examination and achieved a good score of second place, and then he went to the United States to study and enter Cornell University to major in mathematics, and at the same time elective physics and **.
In 1915, he entered Harvard University to study philosophy. After graduating from Harvard, Zhao Yuanren taught at Cornell University for a year, and then couldn't wait to return to his home country and become a teacher at Tsinghua University.
He also served as a translator during the visit of the famous British philosopher Russell to China. After that, Zhao Yuanren lectured all over the world and made remarkable achievements. His areas of expertise include physics, philosophy, and mathematics.
Zhao Yuanren's achievements in language and writing are the most remarkable. He is fluent in English, German, French, Japanese, Russian, Greek, Latin and other languages, and is also familiar with 33 Chinese dialects.
In the field of language, Zhao Yuanren is undoubtedly the leader of the group, and his talent is amazing. His research on Chinese language has been fruitful and still has a profound impact on the study of Chinese language to this day.
This article is called "Ji Ji Hitting the Chicken", and the whole text is used"ji"The syllables form a unique tonal beauty. Ji Ji is a woman who raises chickens, and through the story of her relationship with chickens, she shows the harmonious relationship between humans and animals.
From the chicken's hunger to being rescued, to the chicken being frightened, Ji Ji hit the chicken with her shoes in an emergency, and finally the chicken was killed, Ji Ji felt indignant, so she wrote "Ji Ji Hit the Chicken" to commemorate this experience.
Although this article may seem like just a word, it actually has a complete content and far-reaching topics that are worth savoring.
Original copy: This kind of article written by Zhao Yuanren is also called "homophone", and it can be written as such a person, it is by no means an ordinary person, and Zhao Yuanren's Chinese character skills can be seen.
Later, when he heard that someone suggested that Chinese characters should be abolished and that Chinese characters should be replaced by letters, Zhao Yuanren was very angry, and then directly wrote a longer homophone in response, which was really happy.
From the end of the 19th century to the 50s of the 20th century, it was the darkest time in Chinese history, when the Western powers invaded step by step, in a vain attempt to turn China into their colony.
In the face of the increasingly serious national crisis, many Chinese people began to reflect on the fundamental reasons for the country's backwardness, after decades of comparison between Chinese and Western cultures, as well as the continuous **, panic, retro events in the country, some people have come to such a conclusion:
The influence of traditional culture in Chinese history is far-reaching, and Chinese characters, as the carrier of Chinese civilization, also carry rich historical and cultural information. However, the idea that Chinese characters should be abolished to save China is not only absurd, but also ignores the deep cultural connotations behind Chinese characters.
Zhao Yuanren, a famous linguist, deeply loved the Chinese language, and through the creation of the homophone poem "The History of Shi's Lion Food", he made people realize the unique charm and cultural value of Chinese characters, and called on people to cherish and protect Chinese characters.
The poem uses 96 "shi" characters to tell a vivid story that is breathtaking, and fully embodies the wonder of Chinese characters. Let us cherish Chinese characters and inherit Chinese civilization.
After Zhao Yuanren's homophone article was published in the newspaper, it triggered deep reflection. If Chinese characters are abolished, can this homophone really be expressed in letters?
Obviously not. Therefore, Zhao Yuanren used the facts to hit back hard at those who proposed the abolition of Chinese characters. Chinese characters are the soul of Chinese culture, and without Chinese characters, the splendid culture of the Chinese nation for thousands of years would lose its support and cannot continue to exist, what a terrible thing it would be, I dare not imagine.
