Waiguoren fell in love with China because of the convenience of ordering takeout. What other “artifacts” does our country have to be proud of?

In addition to some ever-changing new technologies and new concepts. In fact, I think China has something more worthy of pride:

Chinese characters, Chinese characters are ideographic characters. Evolved from hieroglyphs. Most countries in the world currently use Pinyin script. English is a typical pinyin text. When you see this word, you may not know what it means, but you can read the word. Many ancient civilizations in history invented ideograms, or pictographs, but most of them have been lost or are no longer in use. But Chinese characters are still the most widely used script in the world. This proves the power of Chinese characters, and you can see real gold in the waves.

Let me give you an example. The English word Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis means silicosis. Specifically how to read it and how to form it. I can't figure it out. I believe most people in English-speaking countries must be confused when they see this word. Let’s look back at how the Chinese characters express: silicosis. The characters for silica are one stone and one evening. The left side represents the meaning (and dust, sand and gravel) and the right side represents the sound. Add a word "lung" to indicate the location of the lesion. I believe that most people who don’t understand this disease can understand the general outline of this disease through words. This is the power of Chinese characters, they are concise and easy to understand. Therefore, people who use Pinyin text are more likely to have dyslexia. Speaking of which, I have to talk about Korea. Maybe it has been a vassal of China for too long and always wants to be sinicized. King Sejong is worshiped by Koreans for abolishing Chinese characters and inventing Hangul. As everyone knows, no one knows who created the current Korean language behind closed doors. It's like drawing a talisman. The most important thing is that Korea abandons advanced writing such as ideograms and uses pinyin writing. As a result, there are many Koreans with the same name. As a result, many Koreans have to put Chinese characters on their business cards to distinguish them.

On the other hand, Chinese characters are also a major contributor to the 5,000-year inheritance of Chinese civilization. In fact, there are many dialects in China. Basically, a northerner cannot understand what a southerner says. However, it is precisely because of the unified writing that the government orders of a huge country like China can be conveyed efficiently. It effectively guarantees the central rule of the country. It is not divided into many small countries like Europe. Chinese characters have also been developed into an art form: calligraphy. I'm afraid only in China can someone become a national idol because of his good handwriting! (Wang Xizhi)
