No matter in school or in society, everyone has tried to write a paper. A thesis is an article in which we study a certain problem in depth. Do you know how to write a good paper? The following is my collection about the influence of Chinese on Japanese language and culture and its comparative significance, for reference only. Let's have a look.
Due to historical reasons, the development of Japanese culture is inextricably linked with China. After comparing the cultures of the two countries, it is not difficult to find that the foundation of Japanese cultural development is China culture. Japanese culture developed rapidly after the introduction of China culture. When learning culture, language and culture are strongly representative. With the development of history, the exchanges between the two countries are deepening. On the basis of absorbing the essence of China culture and language, Japanese culture has gradually improved Japanese culture, especially Japanese system. In modern history, with the rapid development of European and American cultures, Japanese culture has further improved Japanese culture on the basis of absorbing the characteristics of European and American cultures, and thus formed a unique Japanese culture. However, it is undeniable that China culture occupies a very important position in the history of Japanese cultural development. The active introduction of Chinese enriches Japanese, and Japanese culture has a strong fusion color because of its special development history. Judging from the historical records available at present, Japan did not form its own unique culture before the introduction of Chinese. It was not until the fifth century that Chinese characters appeared on stone carvings and were used by the upper class. On this basis, Japan gradually developed its own culture.
1, the influence of Chinese on Japanese pronunciation
The production of Japanese language and culture is deeply influenced by Chinese pronunciation. With the development of history, Chinese has different pronunciations in different periods. Similarly, Japanese introduced and learned the pronunciation of Chinese in various dynasties in China. And then formed a unique Japanese pronunciation, but generally speaking, the pronunciation of Japanese characters is generally divided into two pronunciation forms. In China culture, the most far-reaching influences on Japanese phonetics are Wu phonetics in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period and Chinese phonetics in the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, the pronunciation of Chinese characters in Japanese is often one word with two sounds. With the development of history, the influence of China language and culture on Japanese language and culture is still relatively large, but the proportion of five tones in Japanese language pronunciation is getting less and less, and the overall Chinese pronunciation is increasing.
With regard to the pronunciation of Chinese characters in Japanese, due to the continuous development of China's history, the Chinese pronunciation in China has undergone great changes in different historical dynasties, and the constant changes in China's language and culture have also had a great impact on Japanese pronunciation. In specific Japanese, the pronunciation of Chinese characters usually has two forms, one is to directly follow the pronunciation in Chinese, and the other is to improve and change the pronunciation in Chinese, thus forming a special pronunciation mode. In addition, although the Chinese pronunciation of Japanese is imitated according to the Chinese pronunciation, there are three main Chinese pronunciations of Japanese at present because the Chinese pronunciations in the historical period of China are not completely consistent. One is pentatonic, which is the earliest Chinese pronunciation that China introduced into Japan. However, with the development of history, the proportion of this pronunciation in Japanese pronunciation is getting lower and lower. The second is Hanyin. The closest communication with Japan in history was in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. With the prevalence of Sui and Tang culture, China's language and culture had a far-reaching impact on Japanese. In this period, the way Chinese phonetics entered Japan was generally called Hanyin, which was mainly the phonetics of northern China in Sui and Tang Dynasties. The third is Tangyin, which mainly flowed into Japan after the Song Dynasty. The pronunciation that flowed into Japan in this period was mainly the pronunciation of southern China at that time.
2. The influence of Chinese on Japanese characters.
Usually, mixing two words is the main way of Japanese. Among the specific characters, Japanese pseudonyms mainly include Hiragana and Katakana. Hiragana is developed from Chinese regular script. Hiragana is mainly used in Japanese daily writing and official publications, while Katakana is used to mark foreign characters. From specific Japanese publications and books, we can find that Chinese characters occupy a large proportion in making specific records, and even official Japanese magazines admit that Chinese characters have a great influence on Japanese culture. Chinese character culture plays an extremely important role in the development of Japanese culture and the formation of Japanese. In the daily application of Japanese culture or other aspects, the influence of Chinese characters is far-reaching. In Japanese primary education, students are usually required to have a certain degree of understanding of Chinese characters. With the continuous development of Japanese, China's language and culture are increasingly absorbed, and even in the whole Japanese system, China's language and culture play a fundamental role. When we studied some Japanese documents, we found that some important documents were written entirely in Chinese characters. In the development of Japanese culture, China's language and culture, especially the use of Chinese characters, has not disappeared so far, which shows that China's language and culture have an important influence on Japanese culture, and even the lack of Chinese character culture will lead to the collapse of Japanese cultural system. Confucian culture occupies a very important position in China culture, and Japanese culture also believes in Confucian culture, which has played a very important role in promoting the development of Japanese culture.
In writing, the writing style of Chinese characters has a great influence on Japanese culture. Hiragana in Japanese is developed on the basis of cursive script, and there are a large number of Chinese characters in Japanese, so Japanese also has high writing requirements. Nowadays, Japanese writing is mainly based on Chinese running script, cursive script and regular script, and there are also differences between traditional and simplified. Japan has strict requirements for writing in primary education, and some schools even offer special calligraphy courses to strictly exercise students' writing ability. With the close relationship between the two countries and the continuous expansion of exchanges, China's language and culture have had a far-reaching impact on Japanese culture, which also reflects the importance of China culture.
3. The influence of Chinese on Japanese word meaning.
In China culture, there is a unique language called idiom, which is a specific language expression in daily life. Idioms are mainly some idioms in languages, and proverbs and other languages. These idioms are characterized by beautiful syllables, harmonious rhythm and euphemism. Although the language form of idioms is simple, they contain rich wisdom and are widely used in daily life. Influenced by China culture, there are a large number of idioms in Japanese, most of which are directly borrowed from Chinese, such as "seeing is believing", "learning is rough" and "so-so".
In the development history of more than 5,000 years, Chinese has become very colorful. In many cases, Chinese words are exactly the same on the surface, but their meanings are quite different. Chinese expression is very skillful, and it is often necessary to accurately grasp the meaning of Chinese expression according to the specific context. Because Japanese is deeply influenced by Chinese in its development, some sentence patterns in Japanese and language are also influenced by Chinese expressions. In Japanese, the sentence structure is becoming more and more simplified, which weakens the logic of the language as much as possible and enhances the expression of feelings in the language.
4. The influence of Chinese on Japanese writing format.
After more than 5000 years' development, the writing format of Chinese characters has a very strict writing standard, especially when writing letters, there are strict requirements for the use of honorifics, such as different honorifics for different objects, different titles at the beginning and end of letters and so on. The specific requirements of these contents have become a part of China culture, and the same Japanese has the same strict requirements in this respect as Chinese. Usually, when writing a Chinese letter, you should use accurate titles and honorifics according to different objects at the beginning to express your sincere feelings in this way. These are very strict in China culture. In Japanese culture, you must also use certain polite expressions when writing letters, which is not only called a writing habit, but also a concrete way to express your feelings in letters. There are also strict regulations on the expression of telecommunications in Japanese language and culture. Through the investigation and study of Japan Telecom, we find that there are many similarities in the expression of telecom in Japanese. Write a detailed postcode address and recipient on the cover of the telecom, which are all evidences of the great influence of China culture and Japanese culture. Chinese has a profound influence on Japanese language and culture. With the progress of science and technology, the Internet has gradually replaced the important position of letters and telegrams in people's lives. However, Chinese has a great influence on Japanese culture, not only in the way Japanese is written, but also in the concrete life of Japanese people. Due to the profound influence of China culture on Japanese culture, many Japanese scholars are addicted to studying China culture, which spreads the rich history and culture of China from another angle.
5. Conclusion
To sum up, the development of Japanese culture is deeply influenced by China culture. With the development of China's history, the change of political power and the continuous evolution of mainstream culture, the influence of China culture on Japanese culture has been uninterrupted, and with the deepening of exchanges between the two countries, China culture has become the foundation of Japanese culture. Due to the development history of Japan, Japanese culture attaches great importance to compatibility and acceptance. Japanese culture has a very strong integration feature, and the Japanese also attach great importance to the absorption, digestion and application of foreign cultures. Therefore, in the historical development, Chinese has become an important reference object for the development of Japanese, which has had a great impact on the cultural development of Japanese. We attach great importance to the analysis and research of Japanese culture, especially the development and evolution of Japanese culture, which has a strong guiding significance for understanding Japanese history and Japanese spiritual culture, has a positive effect on Japanese learning and writing, and is also the cornerstone of in-depth exchanges between the two countries.
