Chapter 354: One Stroke

Moreover, Chinese characters also represent a kind of image thinking of our Chinese people, that is, it is abstract from all things, but it does not lose its image. He is like a painting, vividly expressing the connotation of words. Jin Feng gave two more examples to illustrate this characteristic of Chinese characters.

It can be said that this is the artistic conception and beauty that other phonetic characters cannot reflect. If it is compared to plane geometry, then the pinyin text is a bit similar to linear algebra, and the foreign friends who use this kind of linear algebra also have a little linear thinking, to be precise, it is a tendon that we ordinary people say, a bit of an axis. ”

"I don't know if you have such an experience, I often go abroad to compete, and you also know that we Chinese people go abroad, we have to buy something, right? Although I am like a mirror in my heart, all these things are produced in China and shipped to foreign countries. So I bought some souvenirs and settled the account eighty-six. ”

"I gave the cashier a hundred dollars, and then, naturally, took another dollar out of my wallet and handed it to him. Everyone can understand what this action means, right? I'll give you a dollar, and you can find me fifteen and make up a whole thing. Everyone can understand this in Huaxia, but the foreign buddy looked at me with a suspicious face. 'No, no, no, no,' give me back that dollar, and then take the computer and crack it, one hundred minus eighty-six equals fourteen. Then turn on the 'ding' cash register, one, two, three, four, five... Fourteen, a bunch. I'm also hurrying 'no, no, no, one, fourteen, fifteen. ''No, XIV. ''Fifteen. ''Fourteen. ''Fifteen. ''Fourteen. ''Fifteen'. ”

This paragraph is very funny, many young people have never been abroad, so they don't know that very simple things at home are so complicated abroad.

"I think the reason for such a misunderstanding is not only the difference in the thinking mode between the two of us, but also related to the general lack of mental arithmetic ability of foreign friends."

Many people don't understand, speaking Chinese characters, how did it get to the mental arithmetic ability? Are these two related?

Have it? Of course there is, and Goldwind immediately gave the answer.

"The biggest advantage of our Chinese characters is that the information density is very high. The same is to memorize this multiplication trick, you see how my little nephew memorizes in Chinese. One by one gets one, one two gets two, two two gets four, two three gets six, two four gets eight, and soon it is carried out. But British children, how to memorize English, One times one equals one, To times one equals to, Three and whatever. Anyway, basically my little nephew, if he recalls ninety-nine eighty-one, he will recite seventy-seven forty-nine at most. ”

It turns out that this is the case, the foreigner's math level is poor, because they can't memorize the multiplication formula.

"Because we can express a meaning in a single syllable. Therefore, in the United Nations, among the six major working languages, the report with the same content, you close your eyes and touch your hands, and touch the thinnest version, which must be the Chinese version. ”

With a large number of examples, Goldwind proves that Chinese characters are efficient.

"In addition to this efficiency, Chinese characters also have the advantage of inheritance and stability."

"As you know, today, a casual middle school student can directly read the works of the hundred schools of thought of the sons of the pre-Qin Dynasty, and he can freely cross the millennium and directly engage in ideological dialogue with the sages in history."

"Why? Because since the Qin Dynasty, we have written the same text, and every fixed Chinese character symbol has been given a relatively stable meaning. In other words, even if we are thousands of years apart, even if we are in different regions and with different accents, we can all read freely and smoothly. ”

But it would be difficult for an Englishman to read Shakespeare's original four hundred years ago, let alone the poems of Chaucer, which were much older. And in today's growing world, there are a lot of new words that will be created every year, right? ”

"Then if it is an English phonetic script, then it can only create a new pronunciation, a new word for you to memorize, and our Chinese characters can form a new word through the strong associative ability of this text, and we can easily remember and understand this new word, such as radar, hackers, otaku, generation gap, online shopping, etc."

"So from this point of view, Chinese characters are the most vibrant language in the future." Jin Feng said emotionally.

"And let's not forget that the Chinese characters we use now are the only Yiyin script in the world that is still widely used; Our Chinese characters are also the only ancient characters that have been inherited in one line and have never been broken. ”

"I believe that the self-confidence of the nation comes from the self-confidence of the culture. I myself believe in my heart that Chinese characters are the most beautiful language on the planet. ”

As soon as these words came out, the applause below was like thunder, Jin Feng's words are too good, the so-called Chinese, this is the case.

"Chinese characters are beautiful in shape, picturesque, beautiful in sound, and beautiful in meaning. It is concise, efficient, vivid, and is the most advanced written language. So, I've been trying to tell you what exactly Chinese characters are. ”

What exactly are kanji? The audience's thoughts were all attracted by Goldwind, and they really wanted to know how Goldwind would summarize this sentence in the end.

"Chinese characters are the link of time, which allows our long-standing civilization to be passed down to the present day, but it is as bright as new. Chinese characters are the link of space, it makes us have different accents, but we can look at the same letter and cry and feel sad. Chinese characters are the bond of emotion, which allows us of different nationalities and cultures to be tolerant, united, and continue to this day. Chinese characters are our aesthetics, and horizontal and vertical tell us that peace and harmony are the most beautiful. Chinese characters are our spirit, and Yan Jian Liu Gu tells us that words are like their people and are practice. Chinese characters are our philosophy, and the fight for martial arts tells us that the only thing that a great power is for peace. ”

It is deafening, but it makes everyone discover the benefits of Chinese characters.

"We are accustomed to reading and writing Chinese characters today, but we don't know that what we are using is the most beautiful and unique script on the planet, and we should be grateful and in awe."

"Because today, every stroke we write is impregnated with the inheritance of history; Every word we write down will shine in the future! ”

"This is our Chinese character, this is the Chinese character of one word and one world, one stroke and one stroke."

Excited, this group of young people are excited, they have always been proud of their motherland, they are patriotic, they are also working hard to create this country, make a contribution to this country, hope that the country can become strong, as everyone knows, the most commonly used things they usually use, but the most worthy of pride.
