China has a long history and profound culture. Every culture is like a bright pearl, embedded in the crown of China history, and every pearl is dazzling. But among them, the most outstanding and brilliant is China's Chinese character culture.
Compared with 26 letters in English and 26 letters in Greek, there are tens of thousands of Chinese characters in China. And different from other countries, every Chinese character in China is warm, lively and emotional, and each Chinese character has its own unique meaning. In ancient China, people used knots to take notes, sum up small things and big things. But this method is not reliable. Over time, many things will inevitably be forgotten. At this time, an official named Cang Xie appeared under the Yellow Emperor. Inspired by seeing the footprints of animals, he created some symbols and passed this method on to his people. In this way, it is much more convenient for people to remember things again, and the Yellow Emperor also praised them. Later, in the Yin and Shang Dynasties, another new writing appeared-Oracle Bone Inscriptions, named after it was engraved on the tortoise shell. Later, many different fonts appeared. In this way, from the beginning of Oracle Bone Inscriptions to the present, each font has its own different forms. Just like people, after having a life, we have to live more splendidly and make different actions. In fact, each font is like a variety of actions compared with people. Regular script, also known as real book, is a book. It is shaped like a soldier's step, meticulous and crisp; Lishu stretches like the movements of floor exercise athletes, but it does not lose its rhythmic beauty; Running script is between regular script and cursive script, like a person walking, casual but disciplined; Cursive script, especially cursive script, is bold and unrestrained like a sprinter, which can fully reflect the author's personality and psychological state, while seal script is steady like a knowledgeable old man.
Although Chinese characters have such profound knowledge, China people didn't seem to pay much attention to it a few years ago. They forgot to write words and misspelled them. Some people didn't look up the dictionary, but looked up their mobile phones and computers. Electronic reading has gradually become a trend. As we all know, this will only get farther and farther away from our roots, but China people seem to realize this. As a result, from 20 13, major TV stations all over the country rushed to set off a wave of writing Chinese characters. From the central ten sets of Chinese character dictation conference to the Chinese character heroes of Hunan Satellite TV, people gradually realized the charm of Chinese characters in the craze of Chinese character dictation again and again. Not only that, even in the most common student exams, there is no lack of attention to Chinese character writing, the problem of correcting typos in the senior high school entrance examination, and the calligraphy problem of independent enrollment in colleges and universities, all of which reflect the importance that Chinese people attach to Chinese characters.
The development history of Chinese characters in China is actually the development history of Chinese characters and the process of their development, prosperity and application. We should realize that Chinese character culture is a precious heritage invented and handed down by working people in ancient China. As a part of the development of Chinese character culture, we should also understand Chinese characters, pass them on as treasures of the Chinese nation, make contributions to the development of Chinese characters, make Chinese character culture accepted by more people, and let more people realize the importance of Chinese characters. Chinese character culture can only be called culture if it is accepted by more people. To develop society, we should not only develop the economy, but also attach importance to the construction of spiritual civilization. Among them, the inheritance and development of culture is very important, and rich spiritual life is the real wealth.
Students, let's join hands and pay tribute to the Chinese character culture in China!
Since Oracle Bone Inscriptions, Chinese characters in China have a history of more than 3000 years. If we count from some primitive symbols, the history of Chinese characters will probably last for six or seven thousand years. Therefore, China's script is recognized as one of the oldest scripts in history.
In the history of China, the development of Chinese characters has also been divided into several stages, such as "Bronze inscription, big seal script, small seal script, official script, cursive script, regular script and running script", until we now use simplified Chinese characters in our daily life.
In terms of words, I think the most common is the name. When everyone is born, parents and elders will give him a name, so adults will try their best to choose a few good words that are pleasant and meaningful and will be helpful to children in the future.
In the past, you needed a fortune teller to name your child. First, arrange the newborn children according to the eight characters, and figure out what the children lack in the five elements of "Jin Mu fire, water and soil", and add what they lack to their names. Therefore, the words "Yan, Miao, Sen, Xin and Gui" are added to their names to make up for the shortcomings of the five elements, so that children can have nothing in the future. Of course, in addition, we need to find a meaningful word to supplement, or ask our teachers and elders to give us words, or look up a good word in the dictionary. Of course, there are also words that only use five elements and meaning combinations. Therefore, there are single names and double names in the names of China people, and then surnames are added before the names to become names. As for the surname, it is usually the surname of the father or the mother. (Note: The names of ethnic minorities are not listed above)
China people pay so much attention to people's names, so the quality of names must have something to do with people's lives? I think there is. For example, someone needs to fill out a resume when looking for a job. If his name is "Zhang San" or "Li Si", or even high flyers, who graduated from a famous university, people will think of someone who was born at the bottom of society or close to an illiterate family as soon as they see his name. And a nice and meaningful name will make people feel that they were born in a scholarly family, which should not be underestimated. Therefore, many students from poor families try their best to change their names after their success, which is roughly the reason.
All the above are big names. Most people in China will have nicknames, also called base names, such as "a dog, a cat" and so on. Why a cheap name? It is said that it is good to feed animals, so it is not bad for people to have a nickname. These nicknames look a bit ridiculous now, but they just sound friendly.
In addition to people's names, there are many places in life that need names, such as places with names, factories with names, shops with names and so on. It seems that everything needs a grandiose name. Admittedly, everyone must have a name. Imagine if everything in life had no name, then our life would be a mess.
So let's talk about place names briefly. Place names in China are generally named according to history, celebrities, famous landscapes, famous buildings and special geographical environment. Of course, some place names have special meanings.
Next, I want to say the name of a company. Enterprises also need a good name. A good name can bring unexpected benefits to enterprises.
For example, I have seen two clothing factories, and their names are very meaningful. Make the product clear at a glance through the name and never forget it. One of them is a factory specializing in women's wear, named "Eighteen Springs", a girl of 18 years old. In spring, flowers are in full bloom, young, beautiful and charming, full of a kind of charm pursued by women. The other is a factory specializing in men's wear, named "Thirty Autumn". The mature age of a 30-year-old man, the season when everything is mature in autumn, is full of men's maturity, sophistication and masculine charm. Simple three words, but fully set off the product characteristics of the two factories.
Another example is the name of the hotel (font size). For example, our students are admitted to a good school and want to invite relatives and friends to dinner. Where should we choose? If there is a "Zhuangyuan Building" in the local area, you will not choose a hotel again. For example, if you invite people to dinner in business, you'd better go to a "proud building". In addition, where will the literati party go? Taibai Building lives up to its reputation. Family dinner, friends drinking, then you have to go to the "cheap square"
Therefore, it is really important to choose names that can be seen everywhere in life. For thousands of years, China people have been immersed in the word game of studying a good name and will continue to do so. ...
Because China's word games to get a good name often inadvertently reflect the extension of the 5,000-year history of Chinese civilization.
