Do you remember the first kanji you could write?

Well, the word "star" for the star, because my dad opened his own store back then, and there was a star in the name of the store, so I imitated it in the sand at the door every day, and it was slowly enough, and I was only three years old at that time.

When I was three or four years old, I read and wrote at home, and the first Chinese character I learned was "一" because it was in such order, and the second character was "二" and then I learned "天".

My name was still living in the countryside at that time, and I went to school and went straight to the first grade. One day on the way to school, on the only asphalt road in the village, we suddenly wanted to learn to write our own names. Ask my sister, who is three years older than me, to teach me.

I still remember my sister saying at the time, "Your name is ......."It's hard to write. "It's okay, you teach me.

In a shallow dirt pit, my sister taught me to write my name with a branch of a tree. "It's not hard to write! "I learned it just once.

Let's go. "Carrying a handmade cloth schoolbag on my shoulder, I ran down the road to school. Well, it was summer.

When I didn't go to elementary school, one day my mother suddenly stopped me and asked me to write the words "peace in the world", so the first word "day" I wrote was not very difficult, but it was crooked like a loach, muhaha, and now I recall it, it's really interesting.

The first Chinese character I learned was the human character, which my grandfather taught me, and at first I wrote it very much like the entry and exit of the character, which made my mother anxious.

Wen", because the name is this character, and it is easier to write than the surname, so I learned this character first.

It's the word "one", xd. I don't remember the actual situation, but I guess the family likes to teach children to use simple hands.

Muzi Li's Li character, because his mother's surname is Li, in order to write his mother's name, he studied for a long time, and he learned the Li character, thinking about how stupid he was back then.

His own surname, completely unconscious ......Because my grandfather was very nostalgic, he wrote a big 'Liu Mansion' or traditional Liu on the wall of the yard at home, and he would use white chalk to draw it when he was idle.

Oh my God, when the teacher taught us some at that time, it really took a lot of effort, and the words were written crookedly, which was really ugly.

Choosing a Chinese character to expand on is an interesting task because Chinese characters are at the heart of Chinese culture and contain a lot of cultural and historical background. Here I have selected one of the more common Chinese characters - "home" and introduced it from four aspects.

1. OverviewThe word "home" contains two parts, the "宀" on the left represents the house, and the "pig" on the right represents the pig. In ancient China, people used the house as a shelter from the wind and rain, and pig raising as an important part of the family economy, so a number of words related to "home" were also designed, such as "family", "family", "hometown", and so on.

2. Cultural connotationThe word "family" contains a strong cultural connotation, including the traditional family concept, family system and clan culture. Family is the core of Chinese culture, and the concepts we call "family and everything is prosperous" and "harmony and prosperity" are more indicative of the status of family in traditional Chinese culture. In addition, families and clans are also important elements in Chinese history, such as genealogies, ancestral halls, etc., which are treasures of Chinese culture.

3. Common usage The word "home" is common in many Chinese character groups, among which the more common ones are: "family", "parent", "housework", "hometown", "furniture" and so on. In our daily lives, we use the word "home" to express a series of meanings, such as "to go home", "to be at home in Hail", "to run away from home", "to have a home", and so on.

Fourth, with the rapid development of society and the progress of technology, the word "home" has also had a new development in the modern application. For example, we can now use the Internet to promote remote work and remote teaching. In this case, "home" is no longer a simple shelter from the elements, but a modern workspace.

In addition, with the change of people's concepts, the definition of "home" is becoming more and more extensive, and home is not only a relationship between relatives, but also a manifestation of emotions. Summary: The above is an extension and supplement of the word "home", and we can see that behind a Chinese character there are many cultural, historical and modern meanings.

When learning a Chinese character, we should pay more attention to its intrinsic cultural connotation and modern application. This is also the essence of Chinese culture.

The earliest means of transportation at sea was only one kind of "boat"; However, it has evolved to the present, and it has been subdivided into "boats" of different small scales and shapes, such as "boats, boats, boats, and ships". In the beginning, there was only one type of metal, "gold", but with the development of metallurgical technology, the knowledge of metals became richer, and "gold" was refined into "gold", "silver", "copper", "iron" and so on.

Emperor Wen of Sui Emperor Yang Jian was originally the Duke of Suiguo, but because the word "Sui" has the meaning of instability, he removed the "辶" and created the word "Sui" as the country name. During the Tang Dynasty and Wu Zhou, Wu Zetian coined the word "曌" (the same as the word "zhao") as her name according to the meaning of "the sun and the moon are in the sky". At the same time, the invented characters also include 圀, 瞾, 囝 and so on.

The person is called the day of writing. Liu Yan of the fifth generation took the meaning of "flying dragon in the sky" and created the word "" in his name. In modern times, due to the influx of a large amount of Western knowledge, many characters have also been coined.

For example, with the introduction of "beer" to China, the question of how to express it in Chinese characters was a problem, and it was originally translated as leather wine, but later felt that it was inappropriate, and coined the word "beer" around 1910, which translates as "beer". (During the same period, the Korean Peninsula adopted the name "ale" as a translation of "beer.") When modern chemical terms were translated into Chinese, they also used the morphophonic signifier method to create a series of new words, such as "bromine", "plutonium" elements and organic compound nouns such as "alcohol" group and "aldehyde" group.

In addition, there are many words in chemistry that make up parts of two words to express new meanings, and their pronunciation is also made up of the pronunciation of two words. Such as "hydrocarbon" (hydrocarbon), "carbonyl" (carbon and oxygen), "mercapto" (hydrogen and sulfur), "hydroxyx" (hydrogen and oxygen), etc. In order to represent the imperial unit, some polysyllabic characters were also coined, such as li (nautical mile), 嗧 (gallon), 瓩 (kilowatt), and ft (foot) with several qing.

However, these polysyllabic characters were eliminated in the "Notice on the Unified Use of Characters in the Names of Some Units of Measurement" issued by the Chinese Character Reform Committee of the mainland and the National Bureau of Standards and Metrology on July 20, 1977, and are no longer used in the mainland. Taiwan, on the other hand, was not affected by simplified Chinese due to political factors. With the creation of a good pictogram, referring to the single character of the thing, the use of the shape and sound, the meaning of the combination of the word with the development of civilization, the formation of a new thing to represent the combination of words, which makes the record as a text, the aforementioned various different boats, as long as we look at the font of a unit, we know which kind of "boat" is referred to, so that the efficiency of identification and understanding is very high; On the other hand, in the way of word formation, it is necessary to look at the words before and after (short or long) which other words are in order to judge the correct meaning, which lacks recognition efficiency, but is convenient for oral communication (there are too many homophones in Chinese characters, and it is not easy to recognize by hearing.
