"Too many books", "row upon row", "collusion" and "loneliness" ... Can you write these idioms skillfully and silently? Mobile phone editing short messages and computer typing are replacing the complicated writing methods of Chinese characters. More and more people in China find that when they need to write a few words, they don't know where to start. In the digital age, the way of writing records has undergone revolutionary changes. On the keyboard, "typing flies" often replaces the writing of Chinese characters with one stroke and one picture. Due to the long-term use of computers, many people can only remember the shape of Chinese characters roughly, but they can't write out the specific radicals and structures correctly when they start writing. According to a survey, among more than 2,000 respondents, more than 80% admit that writing is difficult. Often forgetting to write wrong words is becoming a worrying cultural phenomenon. So it is called "crisis of chinese characters".

The strokes of Chinese characters convey a kind of cultural spirit, as the saying goes, "there is a dry Kun in the word." In the process of writing Chinese characters, we can appreciate the strong national cultural spirit and the thinking logic of China people, in which "heaven, earth and people" are all included. From Cang Xie's Self-Creation to Liu Shu Theory, it is deeply branded with China culture. Crisis of chinese characters has recently become a focus issue, and TV programs such as Hero of Chinese Characters, Dictation Conference of Chinese Characters, magazines such as Sanlian Life Weekly, and writers such as Liu Shahe and Zhang are all paying attention to this topic. However, there are different opinions about whether crisis of chinese characters really exists.

In the summer of 20 13, a "Chinese character fever" came quietly. The popularity of two TV programs with the theme of Chinese character dictation, Chinese character hero and Chinese character dictation conference, has made us re-examine Chinese character culture.

On July 1 1 day, 2065438, a program named "Heroes of Chinese Characters" was launched. Cultural celebrities such as, Gao,, and served as judges, vowing to set off a storm of Chinese characters and lead the new trend of TV programs. Hero of Chinese Characters takes "finding the lost Chinese characters in the keyboard" as its value proposition, takes "efforts are heroes" as its slogan, and spreads positive energy with the help of knowledge. This program, which tests the literacy level of young players, has been on the air for several weeks, with high ratings, online demand and hot topics. Ma Dong, the producer of Hero of Chinese Characters, said that they hope to improve the content depth of current TV programs. This program focuses on teenagers' understanding and cultural tradition of Chinese characters, aiming to show the beauty of Chinese characters, all of which are based on China people's feelings for Chinese characters.

"Civilized spread of Chinese characters, the nation should guard against it" is the propaganda slogan of the program "Chinese Character Dictation Conference" launched by CCTV. In this program, axe, son, shrine, big end, family is not awkward, vertical and horizontal, Pixian watercress, and so on. "I'm really abused, I'm sorry teacher! "Only 30% people in the adult experience group wrote the word' toad' correctly, while the correct rate of the word' hot' was only 10%. A special TV program has become a "public test" that embarrasses and humiliates contemporary China people. Listen, the topic is simple. When I started writing, I found that I couldn't write it! "For modern people who are used to computers and mobile phones, it is common to forget words when writing. So after watching the program, netizens expressed their feelings and helplessness.

These two programs set off a "Chinese character storm" in the whole society, which made people re-examine their mastery of Chinese characters, appreciate the beauty and rhyme of Chinese characters. Quietly changed the lives of netizens: self-test according to the topic of Chinese dictation conference, trying to pick up the primary school Chinese textbook used as a child, silently changing the mobile phone input method into handwriting ... It's not terrible to forget a few Chinese characters, it's heartbreaking to lose the beauty of Chinese characters, worrying about losing the profound culture carried by Chinese characters, and the most terrible thing is to lose the rigorous logical thinking cultivated by words. Therefore, while we are used to writing Chinese characters by tapping, let's try to pick up a pen and present it on paper, because this is not only Chinese characters, but also a respect and continuation of China traditional culture.

Focus: media attention.

The Los Angeles Times reported, "With the use of Pinyin to send short messages and computer typing replacing the tradition of writing Chinese characters one after another for thousands of years, more and more people in China can't remember how to write Chinese characters with a pen. In Japan or South Korea, more and more people are practicing writing China's calligraphy. " The report also quoted a survey conducted by China Youth Daily in April this year: among 2,072 respondents, 83% admitted that writing was difficult. For example, Ma Silang, a 30-year-old Beijing photographer. One day, Ma wanted to go shopping in the supermarket. While he was writing the shopping list, he suddenly found himself forgetting how to write "shampoo".

Xinhua News Agency published an article saying: "With the popularization of computers, the mouse has increasingly replaced the pen. More and more people don't pay attention to writing. They often forget when they write the right words. Sometimes they can't believe it and feel unfamiliar. In this regard, people concerned call for not giving up the art of calligraphy and daily writing. Japan has a high computer penetration rate, but it writes bytes every year. On this day, thousands of people gathered to write big characters, and the scene was spectacular. However, as the ancestor of China's calligraphy, China is increasingly squeezed into a smaller and smaller space by computer writing, which makes people feel sorry and thoughtful. Whether it is the computer age or the information society, we should not ignore calligraphy and writing. "

Reason: People write less in the touch screen era.

You don't have to hold a thick book, just touch the screen of your mobile phone or tablet with your finger, and a list of hundreds or even thousands of books will appear in front of you. Nowadays, this way of electronic reading has been accepted and loved by many people. "Touch is one of the most primitive sensory experiences of human beings, and the appearance of touch screen provides a better experience for this sense of human beings. The display screen is a window for human-computer interaction. Simple and intuitive interactive design and humanized screen touch operation mode determine that touch-screen electronic devices are more popular with users. " Zhu, a researcher at the Institute of Psychology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, said.

The rise of mobile Internet has also become a catalyst for the popularization of touch-screen smart electronic devices. In the past, operations that needed to be carried out in specific places or desktop computers can now be easily completed with a few clicks through touch-screen smart electronic devices such as tablet computers and smart phones. With the help of smart electronic devices with touch screen, users can get better experience of Internet browsing and game application. Today, we live in digital products and information networks, and it is difficult for us to get rid of them. Due to the rapid popularization of digital products and the increasingly developed information network, people can study, work and live easily without handwritten Chinese characters. In the long run, under the natural law of "use it in China and abandon it in China", people will be less and less able to write Chinese characters by hand. At school, college students are used to not taking paper and pens in class, and students no longer take notes. These are the reasons for "crisis of chinese characters".

Borrowing power: the demand of scholars

In recent years, Liushahe has published books such as People Detective and White Fish Interpreting Chinese Characters, explaining the writing, meaning, creation process, historical evolution and cultural connotation of Chinese characters. How to know a word? This question may be simple for you and me to know the pronunciation, writing and meaning of this word, but Liushahe's view is much deeper. "When we see a word, we can write the shape, read the pronunciation and explain the meaning of the word. Not fully understood. We still need to know how this word was written in ancient times, how it was pronounced in ancient times, how it changed later, and what its essential meaning is. Only in this way can we know a word. In Liushahe's view, every Chinese character is a way to lead us back to our hometown of traditional culture.

In crisis of chinese characters, China scholars set out to promote the establishment of Chinese character festivals. Last/better/previous/last name
