to abolish the Chinese characters
However, after Vietnam's independence, Ho Chi Minh ordered the abolition of Chinese characters and the implementation of Vietnamese characters based on Roman Latin letters. Generally speaking, Pinyin has become the national character, and the Constitution stipulates that only citizens who can read and write the national character can be elected. From the national point of view, this practice is understandable, which has put an end to the slavery and influence on China people from the ideological and cultural point of view; During the war, the Japanese taught China people to learn Japanese culture and speak Japanese since childhood, and enslaved China people with cultural education to achieve the purpose of "brainwashing".
But throughout history, in East Asia for five thousand years, Chinese characters were uniformly used here, and North Korea, Japan and Vietnam were all part of the cultural circle of Chinese characters. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, Vietnam was a vassal state in 2000, and Vietnam always used Chinese characters. All the characters of ancient Vietnamese were recorded in Chinese characters.
The spread of ancient Chinese characters is because of its applicability and convenience, and also because the spread of Chinese characters has promoted the progress of culture, and more civilization history has been recorded completely and accurately. If only because of the sensitive psychology of small countries, the abolition of writing shows that we have got rid of dependence, then the inheritance, writing progress and cultural adaptation of Vietnam in 2000 have to be hit hard.
Influenced by the trend of national independence after World War II and the French colonial rule in 100, French, as pinyin, produced phonography. It is undeniable that the culture of the colonized country will be influenced by the culture of the colonized country, but its development is still dominated by its actual national conditions. On the one hand, it is the invasion of foreign culture, but on the other hand, when a country integrates foreign culture into its own culture and makes the country develop better, it is also a kind of cultural exchange; At the same time, the foreign culture in this period is also an indelible part of this country in the long history. Cultural prosperity must first accept the culture of one's own country rationally.
Cultural influence has a long history.
Chinese characters have been used in Vietnam for more than two thousand years, just like the historical records in The Complete Collection of Dashiyue. Chinese characters have always been used in ancient buildings and palaces in Vietnam, so that young people nowadays don't understand their meaning. It is embarrassing to need translation to understand the historical lines of this building. However, the abolition of Chinese characters has brought great problems to the naming. After using pinyin, Vietnamese people often can't tell who is who when homophones appear. In Viet Nam, there is also a profession specializing in China's calligraphy, called Tu Weng, who writes China couplets and wishes for people on major festivals. Due to the abolition of Chinese characters, there has been a cultural gap in Vietnam, and many experts and scholars have suggested to the government to restore Chinese character education.
Similarly, North Korea abolished Chinese characters, South Korea also implemented the practice of replacing Chinese characters with proverbs, and the South Korean government stopped Chinese education. Finally, due to the pressure of public opinion, Chinese character education had to be resumed. However, both Korea and North Korea recorded a large number of ancient China characters in Chinese characters. Abolishing Chinese characters means cutting off cultural heritage.
Chinese character culture has a long history. The abolition of Chinese characters seems to be for the independence of the country, the nation and the culture, but it actually blocks the inheritance and development of culture. This is a manifestation of the culture and national self-confidence of these small countries. This is a short-sighted suicide, which only focuses on separating one's own culture from China's and blocking the road of cultural development.
National strength and cultural strength are equal.
The reason why Vietnamese abolished Chinese characters after the founding of the People's Republic of China was to strive for national independence, but it actually reflected the decline of the influence of Chinese culture at that time.
Vietnam, as a vassal state of Qin more than 2000 years ago, has been using the Chinese character culture to this day. /kloc-colonized 0/00 years ago, with French as the pinyin. The combination of Chinese fonts, French Pinyin and Vietnamese culture has formed a unique Vietnamese civilization-phonetic notation has taken root. At the same time, China is in a period of hard struggle, and its international influence is insufficient. Under the influence of various conditions, the influence of China culture and Chinese characters has also declined.
As the leader of Vietnamese people, Ho Chi Minh wants to develop the country, realize national independence and eliminate the influence of China culture on Vietnam. At the same time, the voice of the Vietnamese people is the biggest backing to support Ho Chi Minh's resolute abolition of Chinese characters. Ho Chi Minh also took this opportunity to tell the world that Vietnam is an independent country. There is no doubt that Ho Chi Minh is an excellent politician. He practiced Vietnamese Mandarin to make the nation more cohesive.
However, it is not easy to turn a small country that used to be a vassal state and colony into a powerful country with completely independent economy, culture and sovereignty. Although the abolition of Chinese characters directly and decisively cut off the connection between Vietnam and Chinese civilization, it ignored its sequelae. Yue wanted to get rid of China's influence completely and become an independent and powerful country, and issued an order to abolish Chinese characters. But if you want to be strong, you must first face your own weaknesses and shortcomings.
