The breadth and profundity of Chinese characters are reflected in the following aspects:

1. Chinese characters are the miracle of life.

Chinese characters have a history of more than 3,000 years from the Yin Shang oracle bone inscription. Chinese characters are ideographic and morphological characters, and they are also characters that focus on aesthetic images. The amount of information in Chinese characters is incomparable to certain uncertainties and controversies.

In terms of the integration and cohesion of the Chinese nation, in safeguarding the dignity and identity of the Chinese nation, and in terms of long-standing, consistent and full of changes to get out of the predicament, Chinese characters have made great contributions.

2. Chinese characters are inseparable from Chinese culture.

Every nation has its own unique culture, and the best medium for the inheritance and development of these cultures is writing. Chinese characters are not only a record of language, but also carry the survival and honor of the Chinese nation, as well as the blood, tears and joy of the people. Japan, South Korea, and Vietnam are deeply influenced by Chinese culture because of their use of Chinese characters.

3. A Chinese character, a piece of history, and a story.

Pinyin characters are a combination of letters to express the sound of the language, and the meaning of the word comes from the sound. If the sound of the language changes, the meaning of the word changes, so the letter itself has no independent meaning.

But a Chinese character can have different pronunciations, Shandong people have Shandong people's pronunciation, Hakka people have Hakka pronunciation, Taiwanese people have Taiwanese pronunciation, but the meaning is the same. Chinese characters have such characteristics, so they can unite different languages and different races to form Chinese culture.

Pinyin characters are just a symbol, and the meaning changes with the sound and environment. Whereas, Chinese characters are a picture, and every part of the picture is meaningful. The meaning of interpretation varies from era to era.

But basically, the meaning of the strokes of Chinese characters is stable and does not change with changes in sound and environment. More importantly, from these strokes, we can see the social conditions, economic activities, cultural trends and so on in the era of character creation, so a Chinese character is a piece of history and a story.

The Nine Principles of Chinese Writing.

1. Retain the outline of the original word: such as turtle (turtle) and worry (consideration).

2. Retain some of the features of the original character and omit others: such as sound (sound) and medicine (medicine).

3. Change the side of the simpler strokes: such as hugging (supporting) and fighting (war).

4. The shape and sound of the word is changed to a simple sound note: such as surprise (surprise), protection (protection).

5. Merging of common words: For example, "li" and "裏" are connected, and the simpler "li" is used as the merged word. "Yu" and "Yu" are connected, and the combined word is "Yu".

6. Cursive Kaihua: such as special (specialized), east (east), car (car), turn **).

7. The use of ancient pictograms, instructions, and ideographic words: such as three people into the "crowd" (many), two people for the "from" (from), net (net). These ancient characters are both simple and in line with the principles of word making. Originally, these ancient characters may have been multiplied for the sake of beauty.

8. Replace complex sides with simple symbols: such as chicken (chicken), huan (huan), and difficult (difficult) left side change.

9. Use ancient characters: such as holy (sacred), li (li), no (none), dust (dust) and other words.

"Chinese writing is broad and profound" means that Chinese culture is diverse, wide-ranging and profound. "Broad and profound" is an idiom that means to describe the breadth and depth of thought and scholarship. It is mostly used to describe theories, knowledge, thoughts, works, etc., which are broad and rich, profound and subtle.

Chinese culture is a culture formed on the basis of Chinese civilization and the full integration of cultural elements of various regions and ethnic groups across the country. Different from the international nature of Chinese culture, it can be called "Chinese culture" (the culture of the People's Republic of China). The system of oriental civilization, which is deeply influenced by Chinese civilization, is called the "Han cultural circle", which refers to social ideology and reflects the level of social, political, economic, scientific and technological development.

From the inventions and creations of the Paleolithic Age, to the reform of Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao, to the democratic revolution of Sun Yat-sen, all of them are the driving force for the development of society.

The breadth and profundity of Chinese characters is that the meaning of the words is accurate, easy to understand, and the words can convey the meaning. Although there are also multiple sounds, the pronunciation of the same word is different, and the word agreement is different. The meaning of what they convey is very good.

Its core is the unity of heaven and man, and the good is like water. Everything is based on morality and benevolence. Advocate the golden mean in everything you do.
