I think everyone knows that China is an ancient civilization with a history of thousands of years, which is of great significance to the entire history of mankind. Many of today's countries were vassals or parts of our country.
Take Vietnam, as early as the Qin Dynasty, Vietnam was a province of Our country, Chinese is also the official language of Vietnam, and even Ho Chi Minh, a great figure in Vietnamese history, is also a Chinese speaker.
However, immediately after he came to power, he abolished Chinese characters and began to use the so-called Chinese. But they still maintained the tradition of writing the Spring Festival League in the New Year, but they replaced the Chinese characters with letters, however, it is possible that Ho Chi Minh did not find it at that time, but they could not change this word.
Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh, and China
Speaking of Vietnam, most people will have a dismissive attitude mixed with boredom, because in recent decades, Vietnam's relations with our country have not been good, repeatedly harassing our borders, and our country has also broken out a self-defense counterattack against Vietnam under the intolerable situation.
Ho Chi Minh, a pivotal figure in the history of Vietnam, was born in 1890 in a scholarly school in Nghe An Province, but at this time, Vietnam was not yet today's Vietnam, they were shrouded under French rule, and Ho Chi Minh had a desire from a very young age to drive out this group of French people and establish his own homeland.
When Ho Chi Minh was 34 years old, he came to Guangzhou, China, alias Li Rui, where he began his beginning of the Vietnamese revolution, and almost every day he would discuss the issue of the liberation of Vietnam with the famous democratic revolutionary Phan Pei Chu, who admired his views on the national conditions.
Later, Ho Chi Minh founded a Vietnamese youth training class in Guangzhou, and he was the main lecturer and invited many revolutionaries in our country to give lectures to them.
He spent almost all of his time from 1924 to 1945 in China, which became his second home.
Ho Chi Minh came to power and abolished Chinese characters
The year 1945, in the history of our country, was a glorious and tragic year in which we finally drove out the Japanese aggressors, and for Vietnam it was equally important.
Also in August, under the leadership of Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam broke out the most important battle on their road to independence, the August Revolution, and in less than a month, starting from Hanoi, more than sixty provinces and cities across the country successfully revolted, and on the 27th, a provisional government was established, and the main leader of this revolution, Ho Chi Minh, also became their leader.
According to historical records, on the road to Vietnamese independence, China has given them great help, and has successively aided Ho Chi Minh with 20 billion US dollars, it can be said that Vietnam's independence is inextricably linked to our country.
On September 2, 1945, Ho Chi Minh read the Declaration of Independence on Ba Dinh Square in Hanoi, which meant the complete independence of Vietnam, although it was also discovered that Ho Chi Minh read it with Chinese.
This also means that Vietnam has abolished the Chinese language that has been used for many years, and Ho Chi Minh also explained this, saying, "Chinese is too difficult to learn, and too much illiteracy in Vietnam is not conducive to development." ”
Moreover, Ho Chi Minh also issued an order, "Within a year, people over the age of eight in the country must learn to Chinese, can write Chinese, and if they can't learn in a year, they will be fined." ”
I can change the language, but I can't change a word
As we mentioned earlier, from the time of the Qin Dynasty, Vietnam was a province of our country, or rather, a vassal state at that time. Therefore, Vietnam's history books have always been recorded in Chinese characters. Moreover, they still retain a lot of Chinese traditions, such as the biggest festival of the year is the Spring Festival.
On the occasion of the Spring Festival, every household will paste the "Spring Festival" on the windows or on both sides of the door, and the elders will also send red envelopes to their children and juniors, but as an independent country, they have made a small change.
If you walk on the streets of Vietnam when the Spring Festival is approaching, you will find a lot of spring leagues that are not so familiar here, the styles of spring leagues are the same, but the text is very different, the spring league is written on the letters of dragon flying phoenix dance, because it is written with brush calligraphy, so the letters are like braids and tails, unspeakably funny.
Today, more than seventy years have passed since the abolition of Chinese characters, and Vietnam has also done the same
After several generations of changes, from the earliest young people who could not understand the history books written in Chinese characters, to now they are accustomed to Chinese, and they are also accustomed to these spring leagues like "ghost painting symbols".
However, there is one word that has not changed so far, and that is the word "Fu". Every Spring Festival, in addition to pasting the Spring Festival, pasting "Fu Zi" is also an indispensable step.
Vietnam is also like us, even if they later abolished Chinese characters, Chunlian also became "alphabet calligraphy", this "Fu" character has not changed, every Spring Festival will be pasted on their own windows, and even some people will frame a large "Fu" character hanging at home, because they all know that "Fu" is a good meaning.
brief summary:
In fact, it is not difficult to find that Vietnam's Chinese reform and development has been successful today, after all, most people are accustomed to saying Chinese and writing Chinese characters, and most of the old people who used Chinese in those years have passed away. However, the influence of our country on Vietnam since ancient times still exists today, and the word "Fu" is a good representative.
After Ho Chi Minh came to power, he immediately abolished Chinese characters, and many people think that Ho Chi Minh is a white-eyed wolf, and I can still understand his approach. After all, Vietnam is an independent country, which requires them to have their own culture, their own script and their own language, if they have been using Chinese characters and Chinese, what is the difference with the vassal states?
It can also be seen from a small "Fu" that Vietnam still has a long way to go, and when they can remove the "Fu" from the window, they can be regarded as completing the reform of writing and language.
