The Relationship between Chinese Characters and Culture .

Words are not exactly the same as culture, words are a tool to record and transmit cultural information, Chinese culture.

A large amount of information is recorded through Chinese characters.

1. Without Chinese characters, there would be no Chinese culture.

Chinese characters are the Chinese nation.

"In the process of the formation of the Chinese nation, Chinese characters are the most important means of communication in the Chinese language, and as the carrier and media for recording Chinese information, in the Han nation."

and the political, cultural, and economic life of the entire Chinese nation, centered on the Han nation, has always played an irreplaceable and important role."

2. Chinese characters are the cultural gene that maintains the unity of the motherland.

As a carrier and medium for recording Chinese culture, Chinese characters have always been an important pillar of national unity. Chinese characters are the graphic symbols of the "trinity" of shape, sound and meaning. From the Han Dynasty to the present, no matter how the pronunciation is performed in various places of the past dynasties, the configuration of Chinese characters has not undergone fundamental changes.

Printing in the Song Dynasty.

After the development of the country, the glyphs of Chinese characters have been basically fixed and have become the genes of Chinese culture, which is the most enemanent, profound and powerful force for maintaining national unity.

If culture is an edifice, then words are the tools used to build it.

In fact, it is difficult to accurately define culture, and it can only be said to be the spiritual activities and products of human beings in production and life. That is, we often refer to material culture (food, architecture, etc.) and non-material culture (such as customs).

Writing is only a tool and carrier for recording and disseminating culture.

Culture is the spiritual activity and its product of human society in relation to economy and politics. Writing is also a type of culture. Words can express culture.

A lot of habits of the crowd, in the long-term accumulation, have formed a little bit of something called "tradition"; Many traditions, in the long-term accumulation, have formed something called "culture".

Therefore, culture is a collection of habits, cognitions, and customs accumulated by a certain human group over a long period of time.

Words and people are both carriers for recording and transmitting information. But people die, but words don't. If there is no written carrier to record the culture of hundreds of years, thousands of years and tens of thousands of years ago, then modern people simply do not know and cannot obtain the culture and knowledge accumulated by the ancestors with their lives and blood donations.

There is no way to talk about human progress.

For most ethnic groups, their unique language and script are the cornerstone of their culture. In particular, Chinese characters, which have the largest number of speakers, the longest tradition, and the most unique phonetic grammar, grammar, and writing, are our lifeblood, our soul, and our foundation. Chinese belongs to the root language, the Sino-Tibetan language family.

My ** "Eye of the Night" has been translated into many Indo-European languages such as English, German, and Russian.

Traditional Chinese classics focus on the most fundamental concepts, and most of them are also word-based: such as heaven, earth, Qian, Kun, existence, non-existence, yin, yang, Tao, reason, instrument, one, yuan, truth, no, and Tai in philosophy. Benevolence, righteousness, morality, morality, courtesy, harmony, cooperation, sincerity, trustworthiness, honesty, shame, and courage in ethics?

The theme of opera is loyalty, filial piety, festival and righteousness, and the reading of poems (scriptures) is about fun, view, group and resentment.

Many terms translated from foreign languages have been understood by the Chinese in a Chinese way, and Chinese often becomes the first step of Sinicization. This has led to many misunderstandings and troubles, but also many creations and opportunities, enriching human language and thought.

What comes into play here is the Chinese character-based holism, essentialism, concept worship and deduction method (e.g., from sincere and sincere deduction to governing the country and leveling the world), which is very different from Western positivism and pragmatism, rationalism and theocentricity or humanism.

First of all, Chinese characters are the carriers of culture, and the relationship between form and content is the same. The Chinese nation, which has a history of 5,000 years of civilization, has created a vast national culture, and it is by virtue of Chinese characters that the brilliant national culture has been inherited, extended, and completely preserved. Although the excavated cultural relics in the underground are an important part of the culture, their specific cultural value can only be confirmed by the relevant characters recorded in Chinese characters.

The use of Chinese characters is vast and old, and the cultural accumulation is rich and profound in the long time and space. Literacy is the only and indispensable tool for mastering and applying this culture.

Second, Chinese characters are an important part of Chinese culture, and the relationship between the two is the part and the whole. Chinese characters have faithfully recorded the appearance of the Chinese language throughout history and preserved the culture of the Chinese nation. Chinese characters are written in the Chinese language through characters that are characterized by tables.

Chinese characters and the Chinese language are interdependent and develop together, forming a close relationship that complements each other. Chinese characters perfectly record the Chinese language, showing its beautiful and intuitive form, and providing a broad space for the development of Chinese characters, such as the art of calligraphy. The Chinese language is vivid and beautiful because it is written in Chinese characters.

Chinese characters play a well-known positive role in improving the expression of the Chinese language and promoting the healthy development of the Chinese language.

Third, the physical structure of Chinese characters reflects the characteristics of Chinese culture. While Chinese characters spread culture, culture, in turn, continues to infiltrate the Chinese characters themselves. Specifically, the shape and structure of Chinese characters truly record and reflect the thinking characteristics, religious beliefs, customs and habits of the Han people.

The so-called "six books" are six kinds of word-making, all of which are based on pictograms. Hieroglyphs are the matrix of Chinese characters, a method of visually depicting things, focusing on pictures, showing the intuitiveness and integrity of the thinking of the Han people.

Ancient books, once made of wooden boards, were called "牍"; The published "edition", the signboard "brand", etc., are all from the "piece". Because the book is related to wood, the ancient bookmark used to be called "check", and the search for information is called "check", which comes from this, and "checking" is a word search, and "checking" cannot be written as "picking".

An overview of the relationship between the Chinese language, Chinese characters, and Chinese culture is as follows:

1. "Heaven and man are one", "Heaven, also ". Supreme, from a great. (Say the text and interpret the word) day, will mean the word.

It is composed of "one" and "great". "Big, the world is big, the earth is big, and the people are big. "To be a prudent person" reflects a life with an independent personality.

"Heaven" contains the ancient Chinese concept of the unity of heaven and man. The ideological concept of "the unity of heaven and man" was first developed by the Taoist thinker Zhuangzi into the philosophical thought system of the unity of heaven and man, and thus constructed the main body of traditional Chinese culture.

2. The philosophical connotation of "Tao" and what is "Tao" in "The Way of Seeking Dao"? "The way of the walk. The original meaning is the road for walking.

Chinese character. Also known as Chinese, Zhongren Guozi, also known as square characters, is a record symbol of Chinese, which belongs to the morpheme syllabic script of ideograms. One of the oldest written languages in the world, more than 6,000 years old.

In terms of form, it gradually changes from a figure to a stroke, a pictogram to a symbol, and a complex to simple; In the principle of word making, from the form, ideogram to shape and sound. Except for a very few Chinese characters (such as 瓩, 兛, 兣, 呎, 嗧, etc.), they are all one Chinese character and one syllable.
