China's modern history is not only a history of humiliation, but also a history of change. The feudal system of more than two thousand years, the monarchical rule system of more than two thousand years, in modern times, was finally broken and gradually abolished, forming the mastery of our people today. The birth of any kind of thing is bound to go through a revolution, and even if this revolution is not born at that time, it will undergo a great change at some time in the future, at the right time. And the revolution may be successful, it may be successful, everything is unknown, most people think that the revolution will succeed, that is, the right path, but in fact, the revolution will also fail, and the revolution is sometimes wrong.
Chinese characters have been used for thousands of years, and to some extent, Chinese characters also represent the traditional culture of the mainland. The development of Chinese characters to today, each word has a profound meaning, from the earliest hieroglyphs, to today's simplified characters, the process is long, but also very meaningful. But what people don't know is that in modern times, mainland Chinese characters have also undergone a series of upheavals and changes, although essentially good, but the way is wrong. In turbulent times, people's minds were still very ignorant, a large part of the population was illiterate, and the written language we used at that time was still traditional chinese. In order to make the public more aware of Chinese characters, some scholars launched the vernacular movement, but others believe that Chinese characters should be abolished.
Scholars have proposed the abolition of Chinese characters
In Chinese society at that time, most people became illiterate who could only talk and could not write. There is nothing wrong with Chinese characters themselves, but some scholars believe that the illiteracy rate is so large because of the complexity and difficulty of learning Chinese characters themselves, and even if the vernacular movement is carried out, this phenomenon will not change. Therefore, Chinese characters are the biggest obstacle to eradicating illiteracy, so a large number of scholars have stepped forward and proposed a movement to abolish Chinese characters. Coupled with the influence of Western culture at that time, some scholars were still resolute Westerners, so they believed that China did not need Chinese characters at all, as long as they knew dozens of Latin letters and knew spelling, they avoided the problem of Chinese character writing.
In terms of the glyphs of Chinese characters, it is really quite difficult. And in the previous era, the cost of learning Chinese characters was too high, and the ancient rulers had a high cost of reading and learning in order to better control their thoughts, and ordinary people had no chance to enter the academy. The traditional glyphs are complex, each place has its own dialect, and the pronunciation is also different, so that people face greater problems in learning Chinese characters. And "Latinization of Chinese characters" seems to be really convenient, no need to memorize by rote, and it is easy for ordinary people to learn, but is this really the case? Chinese characters, a tradition that has been passed down for thousands of years, are about to be abandoned in this way?
An ancient and strange article, refuting the silence of the crowd
As we all know, the Chinese characters in the mainland are very wonderful, a word can have two pronunciations, a pronunciation can have many glyphs, and different words, different pronunciations have different meanings, if they are all replaced by Latin, it will be interesting. A linguist at the time was not pleased with the grandeur of these scholars, and even more dissatisfied with the benefits of the various Latins they said, he wrote two ancient and strange texts, which made the crowd dumbfounded. One is called "Shi's History of Eating Lions", and the whole text is pronounced "shi", but each word is different; the other is "Ji Ji Hit the Chicken", and the whole text is pronounced "ji". In this way, even those who oppose Chinese characters dare not say anything.
The charm of Kanji
It's all a pronunciation, but it represents a wonderful story, which is the unique charm of Chinese characters, which cannot be represented by the so-called Latin. Worthy of being a language master, just two articles, the pronunciation and writing are relatively independent, but they are indispensable, and the importance of traditional Chinese characters is written out at once. As the carrier of Chinese national culture, whether it is Chinese characters or some of our excellent traditional cultures, we cannot easily abandon them. The reason why Chinese characters have been able to last for thousands of years and have a long history must have its charm, and now that it has been simplified, it has also had a greater impact.
