Is the beauty of nature; Beautiful and exciting is the beauty of music; The profound artistic conception and ingenious conception are the beauty of the article; Proper manners, dignified and generous, this is the beauty of etiquette; Doing good and hating evil is the beauty of behavior ... I'm going to talk about the beauty of language today.
Chinese characters are non-pinyin characters, but they are not necessarily "primary" than pinyin characters (such as English), which was once a big misunderstanding in Chinese linguistics. In the past, the academic circles in China even prepared to gradually transform the existing forms of Chinese into pinyin, which is actually an immature idea. Judging from the objective facts, Chinese language has been accompanied by thousands of years of Chinese civilization, and the basic language model has not changed for thousands of years, which shows its strong vitality.
Chinese characters are beautiful in phonology and form. Chinese characters are one of the most beautiful characters in the world. China's calligraphy pays attention to hanging wrists. Only when the calligrapher's wrist is suspended can he move his arm at will to make the conductor splash ink and give full play to his freedom in three-dimensional space. China's calligraphy emphasizes brushwork. This is largely due to its unique tools, and the brush is the most magical of all pens. Pens also have degrees of freedom: ballpoint pens have only one degree of freedom. The nib of quill pen and pen can be slightly wider, and its degree of freedom is between one and two. A brush consists of thousands of hairs, each of which can be bent to different degrees, with more than a thousand degrees of freedom. It is precisely because the brush has so many degrees of freedom that calligraphers can write thousands of words freely. Who said that it is inappropriate to respect the writing brush as the king of ten thousand pens? Proper use of multiple degrees of freedom of brush can increase the dimension of calligraphy. The richness of ink in the pen, the strength of the pen, the correctness of the pen tip and the wonderful use are all in one thought. Yan, Liu and other calligraphy styles can produce visual stereoscopic effect, which is stereoscopic. Do you believe it? Exhausted praise day: penetrating the back of the paper. If there is no third dimension perpendicular to the two-dimensional paper, where will it penetrate? As far as aesthetic feeling is concerned, Chinese characters are unique, and calligraphy has become a well-known elegant art. On the other hand, in the west, who has seen a plaque and couplet written in pinyin letters? The beauty of Chinese characters lies in multi-dimensions!
If you lack external beauty, at least you still have spiritual beauty. If you don't have these two things, why not try to have this unique language beauty?
