What was the reason for Ho Chi Minh, who had written hundreds of Chinese poems, to abolish Chinese c

At that time, I had to give up, let alone others.

It was because he felt that Vietnam should have its own script so that it could be passed on, so he abolished Chinese characters.

If you want to protect your own culture, if you keep using Chinese characters, it may affect your status as an independent country.

Because Ho Chi Minh was a good politician and wanted to become an independent country and completely free from Chinese influence, he abolished Chinese characters after coming to power.

There are three valid reasons for Ho Chi Minh's abolition of Chinese characters, which are as follows:

1. The newly independent Vietnam needs a unified script: After the Opium War, the centripetal force of the Qing Dynasty as the suzerainty began to weaken, and many vassal states in the Han cultural circle began to doubt the existence and status of Han culture, and even many vassal states believed that Chinese characters were a symbol of backwardness.

2. It is because of the difficulty of the characters: As a China expert, Ho Chi Minh knows better than anyone how difficult it is to learn Chinese characters. Chinese characters are formed by the Chinese nation in thousands of years of historical precipitation, and the cultural heritage and cultural content in it are extremely huge, and they are not a language suitable for large-scale and rapid promotion.

And the newly independent Vietnam is in need of a simple language to reduce the illiteracy rate among the Vietnamese people.

3. Vietnam needs a written language to build national self-confidence: when France ruled Vietnam, the Vietnamese people learned and realized what a nation is in the midst of oppression. Later, the flame of victory of the October Revolution spread from the Soviet Union to the whole of Asia, and various countries began to seek national independence, and Vietnam was one of them.

Quite simply, because Vietnam wants to de-northernize, and does not want to be under the influence of Chinese culture anymore, to prevent itself from being assimilated by Chinese culture one day in the futureThis is the main reason. Other reasons such as Chinese characters being too difficult to recognize, Chinese characters being too difficult to write, etc., are very secondary, or do not play a decisive role at all. The reason why Ho Chi Minh abolished Chinese characters was to cut ties with Chinese culture and develop his own Vietnamese culture.

Historically, Vietnam has been ruled by China for a long time, so Vietnam is deeply influenced by Chinese culture. It is generally believed that Vietnam was first ruled by China at the end of the Qin Dynasty, and this rule lasted for nearly a thousand years, and this period is known as the Northern Period in Vietnam. It was not until the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period that Vietnam became truly independent, and in the Ming Dynasty, Vietnam was ruled for a short time, after which it became a vassal state of China until it became officially independent.

For Ho Chi Minh, what he needs to do is to downplay the image of China in the minds of the Vietnamese people and unite people of all ethnic groups in Vietnam as much as possible. So in September 1945, Ho Chi Minh announced the Vietnamese version of the Declaration of Independence in Hanoi in Vietnamese, marking the abolition of Chinese characters in Vietnam. Since then, Vietnam has gradually begun to use phonetic alphabets, and Chinese characters with phonetic and semantic combinations have been abandoned.

Ho Chi Minh also officially gave the reason for the abolition of Chinese characters, at that time most of the Vietnamese people were illiterate and could not understand complex Chinese characters, and if the pinyin script was used, it would be more conducive to the implementation of literacy activities. But in fact, this reason sounds a bit far-fetched, and although there is a problem with Chinese characters, it is not this reason that really made Ho Chi Minh decide to abolish Chinese characters, he wants a de-sinicized Vietnam, not a Vietnam living in the shadow of China. Although it would be inconvenient to abolish Chinese characters, the advantages outweighed the disadvantages for Vietnam at that time, so he made this decision resolutely.

Because Vietnam does not want to be influenced by Chinese culture. Vietnam has always been a vassal state of China and was heavily influenced by Chinese culture, and Ho Chi Minh ordered the abolition of Chinese characters in order to get rid of this influence.

Because Vietnam wants to remove sinicization, it wants to have Vietnam's local characteristic culture, and it is afraid that it will be assimilated by China one day in the future, and wants to become a truly independent country that does not live in the shadow of China.

Because words and languages represent a country, to be truly independent. It should have its own script and language, so it was abolished.

Because for a country to be truly independent, it must have its own culture, and as long as Vietnamese still use Chinese characters, then they cannot be separated from Chinese influence. Therefore, Ho Chi Minh ordered the abolition of Chinese characters in order to separate from China from its cultural roots. Words are the foundation of a culture, and the inheritance of culture is recorded through words, and words also deeply affect people's thoughts, and this influence starts from the ground and is deeply rooted in the bone marrow.

Imagine that all the people around you speak Chinese, all write Chinese characters, and all the characters in the book are from China. So when the offspring ask their elders, "Are we a province of China?" So how should their elders answer?

If the answer is no, then how can we explain that all the culture in their country comes from China? If so, then for what is the purpose of the independence they have worked so hard for? Therefore, if they want to be completely independent from the roots, completely free from the influence of China, they must have their own unique culture.

Culture is built on words, and the so-called independence is based on an independent culture, and an independent culture is built on an independent language. Therefore, if Vietnam wants to be truly independent, it must break away from the influence of China at its roots, it must have its own script, and it must completely abandon Chinese characters.

Although it is true that Vietnam's history is inextricably linked with China, now that they have become independent, they have completed their own "Declaration of Independence", and they have also experienced independence movements, so today's Vietnamese culture is the result of their own efforts. When we evaluate their culture, we need to treat them as equals from the perspective of respect, rather than blindly looking down on them from the perspective of past history. Blindly looking down can only reflect the narrow-mindedness of the Chinese people's vision.

In general, the reason why Ho Chi Minh ordered the abolition of Chinese characters was because he wanted to completely separate Vietnam from Chinese influence.

According to the living conditions of the Vietnamese people at that time, the popularization of Chinese characters would cause many illiterate people in Vietnam, restrict the rapid development of society, and Chinese characters were not suitable for Vietnam's national conditions. Therefore, it was ordered to abolish Chinese characters.

After Ho Chi Minh founded Vietnam, he found that the cultural quality of the local people was too poor, and few of them knew Chinese characters.

Because Ho Chi Minh sought to achieve a truly unified Vietnam, the abolition of Chinese characters was to bring it closer to Vietnam's local characteristics politically and culturally, which was conducive to reform.

Because he wanted to establish a dynasty belonging to Vietnam and have his own cultural heritage, he abolished Chinese characters.

I believe you will be familiar with Ho Chi Minh's words, he is the leader of the Vietnamese independence movement, has a very close relationship with China, has been in China for more than 20 years, and is a China expert.

Ho Chi Minh came to Guangzhou from the Soviet Union in 1924 and actively engaged in revolutionary work, cultivating many outstanding talents for the motherland. Of course, in China, Ho Chi Minh also suffered a lot, because he was in the same camp as Yan'an, and was imprisoned in 1942 and worked in prison for more than a year. During this period, he suffered a lot, but of course Ho Chi Minh's words also have many good memories from China, and he even married a wife in China.

When Vietnam gained independence in 1945, Ho Chi Minh became Vietnam's first leader, and he abolished Chinese characters. Some say he's ungrateful, others say he's excusable.

First of all, Vietnam was once a colony of Portugal, and not only did it adopt economic plunder and violent oppression, but also forced the introduction of pinyin characters to replace Chinese characters. After a long period of implementation, the pinyin script has a broad base in the country, so when Ho Chi Minh proposed the abolition of Chinese characters, only the pinyin script remained.

In addition, Chinese characters are difficult to learn, while pinyin characters are relatively easy to learn. At that time, the country was still very poor, and most of the people were illiterate, and it was difficult to learn Chinese characters, so they wanted to replace Chinese characters with pinyin characters. The main purpose is also to facilitate the learning of the peasants and to serve as a means of eradicating illiteracy.

Chinese is the most beautiful language and script in the world, but also the most difficult to learn, at that time, Vietnam's national strength was very poor, and it was very difficult for ordinary people to learn Chinese characters. Vietnam has made it easier to learn the language and replaced Chinese characters with simple pinyin characters. The cost and time of learning culture for ordinary people have been greatly reduced, so that the pinyin script has been recognized by the Vietnamese people and quickly popularized in Vietnam.

Chinese characters were abolished, but some problems also arose, because many historical materials and documents were written in Chinese characters and could not be understood. Even a peasant found a scroll of holy decrees from a long time ago at home, and when he looked at it with an expert, he couldn't understand anything, it was all Chinese characters!

The reason why Ho Chi Minh, who was proficient in Chinese, immediately ordered the abolition of Chinese characters after the establishment of Vietnam was because Vietnam was weak at that time, and it was very difficult for ordinary people to learn Chinese characters. Second, because the inheritance of Chinese characters is a victim of political struggles, they believe that the use of Chinese characters and Chinese is an act of subordination to Chinese culture, and lacks the independence of national culture.

Because before Ho Chi Minh founded Vietnam, Vietnam had been a French colony for a long time, and Chinese characters had been abolished in Vietnam for a long time. So when Ho Chi Minh founded Vietnam, he began to adopt a new script based on the Latin alphabet.

Because the Vietnamese people at that time were uneducated, it was very difficult for them to use Chinese characters.

Not only Latinization in Vietnam, but also the simplification of Chinese characters.

The reason why he immediately ordered the abolition of Chinese characters was because he knew that the influence of Chinese characters was great and might make the people's minds more open-minded.

Although Ho Chi Minh was proficient in Chinese, it was still difficult for Vietnamese people to learn Chinese, so he abolished the rule of learning Chinese characters and hoped that they would learn their own country's script well.

Because most of the people in Vietnam were illiterate at that time, it was very difficult for them to learn Chinese, so he wanted to abolish Chinese characters.

As we all know, writing and language are the roots of a country's human history, and if you deliberately change the habits of using the national language, it means that it will harm history and cause the country's historical origin to be unable to be inherited. But in 1945, after Ho Chi Minh declared independence and the founding of the country, he gave up the use of Chinese characters, you must know that Ho Chi Minh himself is very proficient in the use of Chinese characters, and writes a beautiful calligraphy, but why did Ho Chi Minh's ruling Vietnam ** take such a huge risk to change the tradition of using words for more than 2,000 years?

One of the reasons for this is that in the 17th century, with the arrival of Western countries such as Portugal, Spain and the French, not only economic and political oppression followed, but also a very deep cultural invasion of Vietnam. The invaders promoted the pinyin script in Vietnam and tried their best to suppress the promotion of Chinese characters. As a result, the prevalence of pinyin and Chinese characters has emerged in Vietnam, which has given the Vietnamese people a broad base.

After Ho Chi Minh announced the abolition of Chinese characters in 1945, Chinese characters completely withdrew from the historical stage of Vietnam, and only pinyin characters remained.

The second is that pinyin characters are easier to grasp and learn than Chinese characters. At that time, Vietnam was poor, and it was very difficult for the people to learn Chinese characters, so the policy of using concise pinyin characters instead of Chinese characters was supported by the majority of the people, in the 50s of the last century, in the north of Vietnam in just 3 months to complete the literacy work, the difficulty of learning culture was civilian, and the cost and time of the people learning culture were greatly reduced, so that the pinyin script was quickly recognized by the Vietnamese people, so it was quickly popularized in Vietnam.

On August 13, 1942, when Ho Chi Minh was in China, he was arrested by Chiang Kai-shek, and since then he has been imprisoned for 13 months in 18 prisons in 13 counties across Guangxi.

Vietnam was a very weak country at the time, which was the main reason why they abolished Chinese characters. Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, there was no pinyin annotation of Chinese characters in China, and at that time, it was very difficult for some people in Vietnam to learn Chinese characters. In order to make it easier to learn the language, Vietnam uses pinyin characters instead of Chinese characters.

The common people had a lot of free time, and since then, the pinyin script has received strong support from the Vietnamese people, because it is too difficult to learn Chinese characters without pinyin.

Judging by the emotions of the Vietnamese, they believe that the use of Chinese characters and Chinese is an act of subordination to China, and they do not have their own independent national culture. Although the Vietnamese have been using Chinese characters for a long time, and people like Ho Chi Minh are very fluent in Chinese, in order to declare Vietnam as a completely independent and sovereign state, the transmission of written characters can only exist under politics.

The mass base of pinyin characters is better than that of Chinese characters. Historically, in 1527, Portuguese missionaries came to Vietnam and created the Roman script, which was later widely accepted and widely used. Because this pinyin script is quick to learn, many Vietnamese people use it to communicate and memorize.

Therefore, this Vietnamese script, which is based on the Roman Latin alphabet, was quickly introduced.

In the end, Ho Chi Minh was exhausted by some things at that time and stopped loving. In 1942, as soon as Ho Chi Minh arrived in Guangxi, he was arrested by Chiang Kai-shek. And he was imprisoned for 13 months, and the devastation and torture he suffered inside was unimaginable.

1 It was much later that he was released from Liuzhou Prison。During this painful experience, Ho Chi Minh hated Chiang Kai-shek very much, and his anger turned to Chinese characters because of this.
