Policies to Promote Putonghua In order to meet the needs of reform and opening up, economic construction and social development, the state has listed the promotion of Putonghua as the primary task of language and writing work in the new period in 1986, and defined the policy of promoting Putonghua as "vigorously promoting, actively popularizing and gradually improving" in 1992, and put forward higher standards in strengthening government behavior, expanding popularization scope and improving the application level of Putonghua for all people. Languages of all ethnic groups exist on an equal footing, and all ethnic groups have the freedom to use and develop their own languages. The state encourages all ethnic groups to learn languages from each other. Mandarin should be taught in Chinese courses offered by schools that teach in minority languages, and Mandarin should be used when Chinese is needed in minority autonomous areas. Correctly handling the relationship between Putonghua and Chinese dialects and adhering to the principle of combining subjectivity with diversity in social language life will enable citizens to generally have the ability to use Putonghua on the one hand, and respect the use value and cultural value of dialects on the other. Promoting Putonghua is not to eliminate dialects, but to let citizens master the national common language while using dialects, and consciously use Putonghua in formal occasions and public communication occasions.
4. The goal of promoting Putonghua. Before 20 10, Putonghua was popularized throughout the country, and the dialect barriers in communication were basically eliminated. Citizens with medium education or above have the ability to use Putonghua, and consciously use Putonghua when necessary. Before the middle of this century, Mandarin was popularized all over the country, and there was no dialect barrier in communication. Through unremitting efforts in the next 40 to 50 years, the Chinese language quality of the Chinese people has been greatly improved, and the social application of Putonghua has become more suitable for the needs of socio-economic, political and cultural development, forming a good language environment suitable for the level of moderately developed countries. 5. Basic ideas of popularizing Putonghua. The promotion of Putonghua should closely focus on social needs, proceed from the national conditions in the primary stage of socialism, follow the law of language development, and strengthen government behavior according to law. We should take the school as the foundation, the party and government organs as the leader, the news media such as radio and television as the example, and the public service industry as the window to gradually expand to the vast rural areas and extend to a wider field, and gradually realize the popularization of Putonghua in the whole society. 6. Basic measures to promote Putonghua. The basic measures to promote Putonghua are target management, quantitative evaluation, Putonghua proficiency test and publicity and education centered on the national promotion week of Putonghua. The promotion of Putonghua in accordance with the law has been continuously strengthened, and it has gradually embarked on an institutionalized, standardized and scientific track. 7. Basic requirements for promoting Putonghua. Efforts should be made to promote Putonghua in four key areas: First, schools and other educational institutions should use Putonghua as the basic teaching language, and urban schools and kindergartens should use Putonghua as the campus language. It is necessary to incorporate the requirements of promoting Putonghua into the training objectives, management practices, teachers' basic skills training, and penetrate into various educational and teaching activities and social practices such as morality, intelligence, physique and beauty. It is necessary to actively carry out the activities of establishing standardized model schools for spoken and written languages, and cultivate a number of model schools to promote Putonghua and standardize spoken and written languages. Second, the party and government organs should set an example, use Putonghua as the official language, and urge and drive the whole society to popularize Putonghua. The putonghua level of civil servants should reach the required level. Third, news media such as radio and television should take Putonghua as the basic broadcasting language, and announcers and program hosts should become role models for the whole society to speak Putonghua well. Fourth, encourage businesses, tourism, postal services, telecommunications, railways, civil aviation, finance, health and other industries to use Putonghua as a service language, and encourage employees to strive to improve the standard of Putonghua. The People's Liberation Army and the Armed Police Force should use Putonghua as their working language to help cadres and soldiers improve their Putonghua level.
