The globalization and modernization of "today" are significantly different from "yesterday". With the rise of the market economy and the advent of the electronic age, the ideological and cultural circles that have been imprisoned for many years have been "broken" (liberated), and cultural construction in the new period is almost a natural trend, and the preferred base for cultural construction is Chinese character culture. In the past 30 years, the most practical and far-reaching achievement in cultural construction is Chinese character culture. The promotion of the concept of Chinese character culture deserves a special book, and a large number of people regard Chinese character culture as their special research direction and form a special research. The international status of Chinese characters is also improving. According to the report of Beijing Youth Daily on June 29th, 2009, our neighbor Japan is going to add 19 1 to the existing list of commonly used Chinese characters. A number of former prime ministers of South Korea jointly put forward suggestions to the government, urging the implementation of Chinese character education in the process of formal education in primary schools under the promotion of the National Association for the Promotion of Chinese Character Education. "In 2003, five major economic organizations in South Korea decided to suggest that their 6,543,809 companies take the Chinese character qualification examination when recruiting from 2004, and only 18 17 Chinese characters and 65,438+written examination can be accepted. [ 1]
Chinese characters can be turned over because they are the soul of the country. During the Cultural Revolution, an old gentleman wrote a poem: "Write the soul of the country, where is the soul sent?" In the midsummer for a hundred years, words are becoming scarcer and scarcer. People who have a crying heart can have no panic heart. Wake up the people and don't go to the grave by yourself. The destruction of the country is especially recoverable, and words cannot be destroyed. [2] "China people" finally "woke up", finally found their own "soul", and each "frightened" "heart" finally calmed down.
As far as the nature of the subject is concerned, Chinese characters belong to the mother of the subject and are the foundation of all mother cultures, which can't be replaced by anyone. At the beginning of the 20th century, Zhang Taiyan put forward Fiona Fang Theory, which is the truth. He said: "Anyone who studies things with his mind comes from Ruta, and there is no other country. Independent of the history of language and literature, the style is square and square, which is typical of our country, but it can't be brought from abroad. It is strange that many people are confused today. " [3]
Zhang's theory of "mind" refers to the science of concept and logical thinking; "Learning from things" refers to natural science. These two disciplines have universal characteristics, so their bodies are "round". "Oral history" means that the three disciplines of language, writing and history all have national characteristics, so "its style" and "it cannot be taken outside the territory". Although this truth is "easy to understand", no one can "understand" it before Zhang made a statement. Zhang Zhiyan, after a hundred years, is still "confused". As an academic thinker, Zhang has been rejected by the western centrists since the May 4th Movement, which is indeed the misfortune of China culture.
At the beginning of the 20th century, Kenji Yamaki of Japan once said: "People who have the theory of abolishing Chinese characters and simplifying Chinese characters want to abolish Chinese characters, replace them with Roman characters, or reduce the number of commonly used Chinese characters. It's like crazy people who are fascinated by the west wind. The occurrence of this theory has nothing to do with words, but with the rise and fall of the country. Curious newcomers, the same echo, will lead to incurable poison. "
"Curious and innovative", "What crazy people do" and "Don't be careless and fall from time to time" (Xun Zi Jun Dao), our generation is fortunate to see it with their own eyes. The status of Chinese characters has been preserved, but the "trauma" and "incurable poison" suffered by Chinese character culture still exist today.
