The debate materials on whether calligraphy practice is necessary in the computer age are as follows:
Chinese characters are the carrier of civilization of the Chinese nation for thousands of years and are the crystallization of national wisdom. The advent of the information age, while providing us with convenient communication, has also brought unprecedented challenges and impacts to Chinese character writing. As keyboard writing replaces handwriting, people pay less and less attention to writing Chinese characters. Phenomenons such as forgetting words when picking up a pen and writing irregularly are common among teenagers.
As users and inheritors of Chinese characters, young people should respect traditional culture, standardize writing Chinese characters, and carry forward Chinese civilization. Culture is the root of the nation. What is written in every word is not only words, but also the pride and self-confidence of a Chinese. In today's turbulent international situation, our country is facing new crises and challenges.
Only by embedding the inheritance of traditional culture in daily moods, enhancing confidence in national culture, while maintaining an open attitude towards foreign cultures, strengthening cultural innovation, and providing a steady stream of power and intelligence for our country's modernization drive Only by ensuring this can our nation remain among the world's powerful nations.
So, please pay attention to writing Chinese characters. Cultural inheritance requires everyone’s efforts. Youth is responsible for the rise and fall of a country; Chinese culture will be carried forward for centuries!
