As I write, I am often moved by the square characters in front of me. They are like a group of lively and lovely children joking and frolicking on paper, and like beautiful flowers to delight your eyes. At this time, I really can't bear to frame them in the grid. I really want them to leave the grid to stretch and enjoy their own happiness without restraint.
really, they are not rigid symbols, but elves with unique personalities. You see, every word has a different charm. The word "sun" makes you feel the heat and force, while the "moon" shines with beautiful brilliance. The word "light" makes people feel floating, while the word "heavy" sinks at first sight. The word "laugh" makes people happy, and the word "cry" looks like tears. "Cold frost" seems to give off a chill. As soon as the word "deep" appears, you seem to enter a forest or a quiet courtyard. When you put pen to paper to write down the word "man", you can't help but be awed and amazed at the creation of "heaven" and "earth". These shadowy and invisible pictures, these wonderful combinations of horizontal and vertical outlines, are so close to the temperament of people. They enter the imagination in an instant, and then flow out of it, leaving only endless aftertaste in memory. What lovely elves these are! In the calligrapher's pen, they can produce endless changes, or they are as tall and straight as peaks, as clear as streams, as vast as the sea, or as slippery as grease. They themselves have a kind of wisdom power, an imaginary world, where you can fly and gallop freely. In the ancient long river of mankind, which nation has such rich calligraphy treasures as the Chinese nation?
why do you say that the Chinese nation is a nation of poetry? These beautiful and charming words are born to bring the spirituality of poetry to those who use them. Looking at these single words with color, sound and smell, how can you not arouse your emotions in mobilizing these languages? There are a few poets in the west who are pursuing "playing with words", but how can they find the charm of "playing with words" from the combination of 26 letters! Only China's Chinese characters, tens of thousands of different glyphs, hundreds of thousands and millions of wonderful combinations are enough to produce the happiness of sending words, and even seek the imagination of that kind of words to human thinking and senses beyond semantics! China's Chinese characters are the crystallization of high-intensity understanding, which will certainly train people's understanding.
Perhaps, this is somewhat sad. It is said that the training that emphasizes understanding will affect science and rationality. So, does it affect people's concept of time because there is no time change in China Chinese characters? Is it because Chinese characters have created so many titles with different blood ties that China has endless red tape? How wonderful it is that these Chinese characters are actually related to the habits of a nation!
In the world of words, China's Chinese characters are really unusual. Its creative opportunity shows China people's different civilization traditions and ways of perceiving the world. However, it is powerful and self-contained. It cultivates a 5,-year-old culture with square characters and maintains the existence of a unified big country. No matter how many different languages and dialects are spoken in this eastern land, the charm of this Chinese character has become the chief conductor of the symphony orchestra!
Facing the leap of science, people are lamenting the backwardness of China's technology, trying to get rid of the barrier with the world brought by this hieroglyph in confusion, and thus issued a soul-shaking cry of pinyin of Chinese characters. Yes, this call once stirred my blood, but it was a little naive for Don Quixote to attack the windmill. China's Chinese characters have proved their existence value with their magnificent vitality. It was the computer that accepted Chinese characters, not the computer that changed them. In the complicated state of mind when science climbs to the peak, it is the phonetic characters that need to be recreated constantly, and even become unbearable. However, China's Chinese characters glow with youth instead, and it is easy to form new concepts and terms with the original vocabulary. Really, China's square characters can digest all kinds of foreign new creations, because it has a sea of words. After people are familiar with this kind of writing, the new combination that can be sought and the world of creation are so broad and simple.
I am a descendant of the Chinese people. I grew up drinking water from the Yangtze River. Perhaps, I like to boast about my things as much as other nationalities. Didn't lomonosov of Russia praise the Russian language in poetic language? But I am not a blind defender of tradition, I only advocate the creation of human civilization. After I got acquainted with some western literature, I was more and more amazed at the unparalleled creation of China's Chinese characters.
ah! Like wandering under the starry sky in summer night, I was fascinated by the magnificent scenery. I really loved the China Chinese characters that I relied on for thinking and communication, and was shocked by its regenerative vitality and peculiar charm. I think, in the long river of human history, this kind of writing will be cherished and loved by the world more and more.
My compatriots and friends who use Chinese characters, please develop and enrich it! History and civilization are casting new eyes on us!
