First of all, language is an important way to carry out ideological and moral education. Writing is an important symbol of communication, and education is an important part of communication. Ideological and moral education includes both words and deeds and self-study, which embodies that words are the carrier of ideological and moral education.
Secondly, Chinese characters are also an important part of ideological and moral education. This is reflected in three aspects: the function of Chinese characters embodies ideological and moral education, the configuration of Chinese characters contains ideological and moral education, and the culture shaped by Chinese characters contains ideological and moral education.
The function of Chinese characters and ideological and moral education. Chinese characters were originally created as a recording language to eliminate the barriers of time and space in communication, and their main function is also the function of language communication. In fact, Chinese characters not only help people communicate, but also have the function of ideological and moral education. Because Chinese characters are not only symbols of language communication, but also the cornerstone of Chinese cultural heritage and Chinese national unity. Palmer also pointed out in Introduction to Linguistics that Chinese characters are a stylized and simplified picture system. It does not express the concept through spoken language, but directly, and the written language written by Chinese characters is independent of various changes in spoken language. This feature of Chinese characters makes it play a great role in the social and cultural unity of China. Chinese dialects are often difficult to be understood by people in other dialect areas, but people in all dialect areas can understand statements written in Chinese characters. A student studying ancient Greek literature needs to master many dialects to appreciate the works of Homer, Sappho, Herodotus and Democia, while a student who has learned about 4,000 Chinese characters can understand China's literature for 4,000 years.
The physical structure of Chinese characters itself contains traditional ideological and moral education information. China's traditional culture is an ethical culture aiming at goodness. China has attached importance to moral education since ancient times and established a complete moral and ethical system. The Analects of Confucius said, "The benevolent loves others." Shuo Wen Jie Zi says: "Benevolence, affinity." . Obviously, the word "benevolence" is based on human nature, which embodies a warm inter-group relationship for human beings. In addition, the ways of creating words such as "goodness", "beauty", "harmony" and "forgiveness" all reflect the traditional moral beliefs of the Chinese nation. Other issues such as religion and patriarchal culture can also be clearly found in Chinese characters, which is an important theme of traditional ideological and moral education.
The culture shaped by Chinese characters is also the carrier and content of ideological and moral education. For example, calligraphy seal cutting can reflect the profoundness of traditional culture. Couplets such as "the sound of wind and rain, the sound of reading, the sound of hearing and hearing, state affairs and family affairs are all concerned", "Where there is a will, there is a way, and one hundred and twenty qinchuan will eventually be Chu; It is also an important content of ideological education to work hard and live up to expectations.
