Culture on the tip of the pen

The thousands-year-old culture of the Chinese nation is like a magnificent Great Wall, and the Chinese language is the cornerstone of this Great Wall. Every horizontal, vertical, stroke, and stroke is full of the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancients.

The legendary Cangjie used his imagination to carve words embodying his wisdom on pieces of carapace. The mountains of carapace were washed away by the turbulent river of history and gradually evolved into inscriptions in gold. , small seal script, official script, regular script and cursive script, I don’t know how many trials and hardships it has gone through. Whether simple or complex, square or round, hard or soft, every word expresses its meaning appropriately. The three vertical lines of the word "mountain" are not like the endless shape, and the four points in the middle of the word "rain" are like the pitter-patter of silver threads falling from the sky. Will the word "bamboo" also make you feel like you are in another world? Surrounded by bamboo trees that are lush and green, hiding the sky and blocking out the sun?

People today seem to be less and less interested in their mother tongue and are always keen on learning English, ignoring that Chinese also requires in-depth study and study. Just imagine: when the lonely "I" in English meets the Chinese "I", "I", "I" and other various titles, when the straightforward "goodbye" meets the Chinese "I hope you will live forever, "Thousands of miles away from the moon", "Don't worry about the road without friends, no one in the world knows you"; when 26 eternal subtitles meet the ever-changing and countless Chinese characters, who dares to say that English is far superior to Chinese Woolen cloth?

If the smooth and soft pronunciation of English is like a meandering and clear stream, then the smooth and smooth Chinese pronunciation is like a surging river. Some people say that when you speak English, you only move your lips slightly, so it is a soft language; when you speak Chinese, you must enunciate clearly, just like fighting alone, with different words popping out from between the teeth one by one, so that when you need to be quiet You cannot communicate quietly in special situations, so this is a rough language. I don't deny this point of view, but I think this does not represent the roughness of the Chinese people. On the contrary, it is a reflection of our enthusiasm. Whenever the New Year comes, people from all walks of life go to the streets and alleys to congratulate each other, and condense their best wishes for others into the three words "Happy New Year". When the word "good" is said, there is a slight smile. The rising tone also reflects the festive atmosphere of "thousands of households always replace old charms with new ones".

The more magical charm of the Chinese language lies in its calligraphy art. The forms may be vigorous and powerful; some may flow like clouds; some may be soft and smooth. The correct regular script, unrestrained cursive script, and smooth running script have created many great calligraphers who are famous in ancient and modern times. When they interpret the same Chinese character in different ways, the visual impact prompts a series of dynamic or static pictures to emerge in their brains. Just say the word "dance". If it is written in regular script, it is a dignified and formal court dance; if it is written in cursive, it is an unrestrained and passionate dance outside the Great Wall; if it is written in running script, it is a dance beyond the Great Wall; A beautiful and elegant neon dance. But no matter what kind of calligraphy it is, it has its own unique charm.

It is this kind of Chinese that shines brightly on the twists and turns of the historical galaxy. Throughout the ages, generations of descendants of Yan and Huang have written square characters one by one, It records the long-standing culture of the Chinese nation, which has been passed down from generation to generation and carried forward from generation to generation.
