This problem has been discussed in society for a long time. In fact, as a high school student, I personally think that simplified Chinese characters and traditional Chinese characters have their own advantages and disadvantages.
From the perspective of language structure, simplifying Chinese characters destroys the structure of Chinese characters and damages the motivation of word formation. For example, "one" becomes "one". It can be seen that we simplify Chinese characters without considering the glyph structure, but regard Chinese characters as a symbol.
From the perspective of cultural inheritance, the simplification of Chinese characters has indeed destroyed the culture of China and damaged the bond of traditional cultural inheritance in China. For example, the May 4th Movement and the New Culture Movement, which we were exposed to in the history of junior high school and senior high school, enabled people to interpret characters without comments, teacher guidance or even translation. As Zhao Zhang said in "What Simplified Characters Simplify": "The anti-etiquette and anti-feudalism slogan originated in the May 4th Movement has ideologically separated the tradition of modern people and culture, and the vernacular Chinese and simplified characters in modern Chinese have effectively separated the inheritance of Chinese culture. After these two movements, classical Chinese and standardized Chinese characters degenerated from the main carrier of culture to the special phenomenon of culture. For today's intellectuals, they are no less than foreign languages. Without the guidance of translators, annotations and teachers and friends, books and figures before the Republic of China-not ancient times-could not be interpreted smoothly. After these two movements, China culture became' traditional culture' and' ancient culture' and became a dead thing. "
However, we should not look at the problem one-sidedly.
Simplifying characters is beneficial to the popularization of characters and cannot be ignored. If you want to give an example, it is still the May 4th Movement and the New Culture Movement. It is precisely because of these two movements that some advanced ideas began to be written in simplified Chinese characters, which was accepted by the general public and laid a mass foundation for the modern revolutionary cause.
Simplified characters have also brought good news to the literacy work that has made little progress for many years. In the early days of liberation, illiteracy accounted for 80% of the national population. There used to be such a true story. 1949 In early autumn, a village head in Ning 'an County, Heilongjiang Province received a secret letter. However, the village chief is illiterate. He had to find the only literate scholar in the village to read the letter. Who knows, the scholar ran away that night after reading the letter. It turns out that this is a "secret letter to hunt down the murderer", and the suspect in the letter monitored by the village head is the "scholar" himself.
At that time, the phenomenon of "illiteracy in the whole village" abound. Because of illiteracy, people greet each other mainly through information exchange. Therefore, "literacy" has become an important task of the new China. /kloc-at the end of 0/950, a vigorous "literacy" campaign was launched nationwide. It is conceivable that for an adult who has no foundation, it really takes a lot of effort to learn Chinese characters with many strokes. It can be said that simplified characters have played a great role in literacy.
Simplifying Chinese characters lightens people's burden, especially high school students. In this tense situation of college entrance examination, let's write traditional Chinese characters, not to mention whether there is enough time, but whether we can write correctly and whether the teacher can read the paper clearly, all of which have to be said separately. In this efficient and fast-paced information society, writing traditional Chinese characters undoubtedly slows down the speed and affects the work process. I won't say such things one by one.
In short, simplified Chinese characters and traditional Chinese characters have their own advantages and disadvantages in different situations. Some people say that the use of traditional Chinese characters in Hong Kong and Taiwan leads to the problem that their education level is higher than that in mainland China. Japanese contains a large number of simplified characters, and Singapore has also introduced the simplified character scheme and Chinese Pinyin from the mainland. Their education level is also very high and their economy is very developed! So this statement can't stand scrutiny.
If the country really wants us to give a clear answer, it is based on my status as a high school student now, so I'd better not change it. Simplified Chinese characters still have certain advantages in the college entrance examination.

1 year 10, the Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) on Common Language and Characters came into effect, which marked that the use of common language and characters in China was on the legal track in an all-round way, and was of great significance to promoting the reunification of the motherland, national unity and social progress. Over the past four years, with law enforcement as the center, cities as the center, schools as the foundation, state organs as the leader, news media as the example and public service industry as the window, the standardization of language and writing in our city is progressing steadily.
Since the implementation of the Language Law, schools at all levels have actively incorporated the promotion of Putonghua and standardized Chinese characters into the routine of school management, and taken measures to eliminate the backward phenomenon of using dialects and non-standardized Chinese characters.
In recent years, with the deepening of Putonghua promotion and the implementation of the system of teachers holding Putonghua grade certificates, the number of people who voluntarily take the Putonghua proficiency test in society has gradually increased. Since 2004, the Putonghua proficiency test for social workers has been carried out regularly in June and June and 65438+February every year to further promote the popularization of Putonghua in the whole society.
In state organs, more and more staff can consciously use Putonghua in their official activities. Putonghua training and testing for national civil servants is the requirement of People's Republic of China (PRC) Common Language Law, and it is also the requirement of efficiently performing official duties, ensuring the smooth implementation of government decrees and improving the level of urban civilization. Radio and television media is also an important position to promote Putonghua. Over the years, the radio and television departments of our city have actively practiced this spirit and vigorously strengthened the promotion of Putonghua. In order to enrich the program forms, reflect the regional cultural characteristics, and be closer to life and people, a series of Putonghua programs have been launched while maintaining the local characteristics, effectively enhancing the public's awareness of popularization.
Standardizing language and writing needs to be managed together.
Since the implementation of the National Law on Common Languages and Characters, the concept of "speaking Mandarin and writing standardized characters" has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. However, it is not easy to promote the standardization of language and writing, which requires the joint efforts of all levels and departments.
The nonstandard use of Chinese characters in society will not only damage the overall image of the city, but also have a negative impact on people's thinking, especially the cognition of primary and secondary school students.
In order to further strengthen the management of social Chinese characters, the municipal government requires all units to carry out the work of cleaning up and rectifying social Chinese characters in urban areas; The Communist Youth League Committee should also organize young volunteers to take to the streets to check the standard words used in outdoor advertisements, signboards and slogans in our city during the National Putonghua Promotion Week, and then hand them over to the departments of industry and commerce, urban construction and other departments for rectification, so as to further improve the level of spiritual civilization construction and urban management in our city.
The State Language Committee emphasizes that maintaining the purity and health of language and writing is not only a sign of a country's civilization, but also a major issue related to national sovereignty and national dignity. At present, the application of social language is unprecedentedly active, and the role of language as a communication tool is increasingly prominent. In this case, it is particularly urgent to intensify language work. The relevant person in charge of the State Language Committee believes that the key to the implementation of the National Common Language Law lies in its implementation. Governments at all levels and relevant departments should earnestly shoulder their responsibilities, improve the language and writing institutions, and timely introduce specific corresponding laws and regulations or implementation measures. At the same time, strengthen the management and supervision of language. Because it involves a wide range, this work not only depends on the language and writing departments, but also other departments should cooperate with each other and make concerted efforts to hold the Eighth National Putonghua Promotion Week as an opportunity to gradually form a good atmosphere of "speaking Putonghua and using standardized words" in the whole society.
Nowadays, if Chinese characters are not standardized in society, it will not only damage the overall image of the city, but also have a negative impact on people's thinking, especially the cognition of primary and secondary school students. Therefore, it is necessary to write standard words in Mandarin.
Mandarin, that is, modern standard Chinese, also known as Mandarin and Mandarin, is the language of most people in society. Some people don't speak Mandarin, but local dialects, which will annoy people who can't speak it. For example, some people describe the conjunction "He" as "Han", "Butterfly" as "Hu Die" and "Gao Song", which is hard for others to accept. In addition, some people's words have different pronunciations, such as the word "aggression", some people pronounce "q τ nlue" and some people pronounce "q ǐ nlue"; Some people pronounce the word "nearby" as "Fujin" and others as "fǔjin", which also brings a lot of trouble to the people who speak Mandarin.
There are also many local dialects in Mandarin words. For example, Beijingers describe "evening" as "being late for a long time", "reprimanding" as "whispering" and "being stingy" as "being stingy". In many areas, corn is called "corn", soap is called "pancreas" and steamed bread is called "steamed bread". For example, words such as "fuck", "garbage", "embarrassment" and "gimmick" often appear in written language and have already joined the ranks of Putonghua vocabulary. The words chosen in Putonghua are generally popular and have been used in writing for a long time.
Chinese characters, also known as Chinese characters, Chinese characters and Chinese characters, are widely used in the cultural circle of Chinese characters and are one of the oldest characters in the world. They are written symbols for recording Chinese.
Chinese and Chinese characters can not only be read quickly, but also be more suitable for fast reading. Specifically, there are mainly the following aspects:
First of all, the ideographic nature of Chinese characters facilitates the mutual understanding of form and meaning, which provides a natural advantage for fast reading;
Secondly, Chinese characters, as morphemes, have strong word-formation ability and concentrated common words, which provides convenience for fast reading;
Thirdly, Chinese characters, as pinyin characters, have obvious differences in homophones, which is also a favorable condition for fast reading;
Fourth, the writing form of Chinese characters is convenient for overall cognition and fast reading;
Fifth, Chinese characters, as compound brain characters, give full play to the functions of the two hemispheres of the brain;
Finally, the parataxis of Chinese grammar makes it concise, easy to master, easy to read quickly and intuitive.
So I think Mandarin and Chinese characters have become people's favorite languages and characters.
