The development stage and direction of Chinese characters

The final result of the national social science planning project undertaken by Professor Liu Youxin of Southwest Normal University is the Outline of the Development History of Chinese Characters. This achievement puts forward some new ideas worthy of attention.

First, the three stages of the development history of Chinese characters

In the development history of Chinese characters, there are different stages of development. The traditional staging is based on the change of Chinese font, that is, it is divided into four stages according to the standards of big seal script, small seal script, official script and regular script. This achievement puts forward that font change is not an essential change in the development of Chinese characters, and it cannot explain the historical development law of Chinese characters, but should explain the essential change of Chinese characters from the change of Chinese character construction methods. On the basis of this understanding, this achievement further puts forward the three-stage theory of the development of Chinese characters, that is, the first stage is the picture writing stage, and the characters before Shang Dynasty should belong to this stage. The second stage is the phonography stage with phonography as the main body, and the characters from Oracle Bone Inscriptions to Qin Dynasty belong to this stage. The third stage is the pictophonetic writing stage with pictophonetic characters as the main body, and some pictophonetic characters and pictophonetic characters are still preserved, which belongs to this stage from Qin and Han dynasties to modern Chinese characters.

Second, the advantages and disadvantages of Chinese characters

At present, there are two kinds of popular characters in the world: one is phonography who records the pronunciation of words with dozens of letters; The second is Chinese characters with both phonetic and tabular forms. Both of these two types of writing systems have their own advantages and disadvantages, and we can’t say which one is absolutely good and which one is absolutely bad. Some scholars in Europe believe that phonetic characters are the most advanced characters, while Chinese characters are a kind of backward characters. This prejudice is accepted by some domestic scholars. When they talk about Chinese characters in books and periodicals, they seldom talk about their advantages, which is one-sided.

1. Advantages of Chinese characters. The greatest advantage of Chinese characters is their super-dialect. China is a country with vast territory and complicated dialects. In ancient times, it was impossible to standardize the language. Even now, the promotion of Putonghua cannot be completed in a short time. However, Chinese characters are a popular written language communication tool in China. Different languages, writing words with pen instead of mouth, are exactly the same. If the words are pinyin, Cantonese, Minnan, Shanghai and Beijing will appear, which will hinder people’s exchange of ideas. Another advantage of Chinese characters is their rationality. Character is a symbol system, which can be divided into rational characters and irrational characters. Irrationality refers to pure phonography, such as loanwords, syllables, alphabets, etc. This kind of writing is purely a symbol and has no direct connection with the things to be expressed. The so-called rational characters, such as Chinese characters, not only represent the pronunciation of words, but also represent the signs of things. For example, the word "water" evolved from the shape of hieroglyphic water. It has two functions: pictographic and phonological.

2. The shortcomings of Chinese characters in phonetic notation. A small part of the ideographic characters of Chinese characters have long been used as loanwords, which are ideographic characters in Chinese characters. Because its number is not large, it is mostly commonly used words, so you can leave it alone. Here, only the phonetic function of pictophonetic characters is discussed. The phonetic symbols of pictophonetic characters are mostly pictophonetic characters that can be used alone, which are not as accurate as alphabet sounds. There are many shortcomings in the phonetic function of Chinese characters, which are mainly as follows: (1) The phonetic symbols of pictophonetic characters can’t distinguish the differences of tones, and the same phonetic symbol often indicates different tone categories. For example, the word "Hu" is a rising tone, but the confused word "paste" is pronounced as rising tone, and the confused word "paste" is pronounced as voiceless. (2) Phonetic symbols of pictophonetic characters often lose or weaken their phonetic function because of phonetic changes. For example, "Shang" is pronounced shàng, but "If" and "Lie" with "Shang" as the phonetic symbol are pronounced t m ng, "dǎng" is pronounced d m ng, "Xi" and "chǎng" are pronounced cháng, and "Open" is pronounced ch m ng. (3) The stress phenomenon of reading more than one word in Chinese characters. For example, the word "ginseng", "participation" and "visit" are pronounced with cān, "ginseng" with shēn, and "uneven" with cē n. There are three stresses.

Third, the simplification of Chinese characters

In 1956, the simplified scheme of Chinese characters was announced, and in 1964, the scope and number of simplified characters were expanded, which was the first large-scale Chinese character reform in more than two thousand years. After more than forty years of practice, it has played a great role in popularizing education and writing. On the other hand, simplified characters are not entirely beyond discussion. Such as Deng, Huan, Nan, Shu, Xi, and Equivalence, its component "You" replaces the phonetic symbols with different sounds, such as "Deng". Some cursive scripts are written in a kaishu style that is different from the structure of regular scripts, and some homonyms can be substituted for words. The second is to reform and make Chinese characters a better communication tool according to their own development laws. With the improvement of China’s international status and economic development, more and more people are learning Chinese characters.

Four, Chinese characters can not take the direction of the development of pinyin.

It was once thought that all written symbols of human language should go to the road of pinyin, and all words that do not meet this standard are regarded as backward. This is a prejudice without scientific basis. Chinese characters are one of the excellent cultures created by the Chinese nation. They are not only the cultural carrier of China for thousands of years, but also the common communication tool for the people of the whole country and the Chinese people abroad. Now more and more foreign people of insight have realized the superiority of Chinese characters, and it is impossible and unnecessary for this writing system to take the road of pinyin writing again.

Fifth, the teaching of Chinese characters

It is correct to teach Chinese characters according to the way they are created. However, the old "six books" theory (six methods of word formation) must be reformed. Based on the study of comparative philology and Mr. Tang Lan’s "Three Books" theory, this achievement puts forward the "new three books" theory of table form, borrowing sound and pictophonetic sound. It includes the reasonable parts of the six books and eliminates the "transfer note". Pictographic characters include pictographs, pointing things and knowing in six books; The word "borrowing sound" is a loan. It is renamed as loanwords or phonograms because some people think that there is another loanwords in loanwords, which are made out of nothing and confuse people. In Mr. Tang Lan’s three books, it is not appropriate to exclude loanwords and divide the words made by tabular method into pictographs and pictographs. The new three books not only absorb the research results of predecessors, but also correct the shortcomings of predecessors. Mastering the standard of dividing the new three books can play a great role in Chinese character teaching.

The 5 millionth car of FAW-Volkswagen Chengdu Factory officially rolled off the assembly line.

  [car home Information] On the afternoon of March 30th, 2021, the 5 millionth new car of Chengdu Branch of FAW-Volkswagen Automobile Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as FAW-Volkswagen Chengdu Factory) was officially rolled off the assembly line, and the model rolled off the assembly line this time was a medium-sized SUV under the Jetta brand-(|).

Home of the car

  FAW-Volkswagen Chengdu Factory was established on May 8, 2009. It is the whole vehicle manufacturing base of FAW-Volkswagen in Chengdu, the first production base of FAW-Volkswagen outside Changchun, and an important part of FAW Group’s southwest development strategy. The branch is located in Chengdu Economic and Technological Development Zone, covering an area of 2,000 mu (1.3 million square meters).

  As an expansion of the brand, the Jetta VS7, which went offline this time, was launched in March 2020. It is a medium-sized SUV under the Jetta brand, with a price range of 106.8-136.8 million yuan. The new car adopts the family design style of Jetta brand in appearance. The large-size dot matrix mesh is connected with the headlights, and the center is the exclusive LOGO of Jetta brand. In addition, the overall design of VS7′ s body serves practicality, and Fangzheng’s body provides sufficient interior seating space to meet the needs of consumers for daily use.

   In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the new car are 4624/1841/1644mm and the wheelbase is 2730mm respectively. In terms of power, the new car is equipped with a 1.4T high-power engine with a maximum power of 150 HP and a maximum torque of 250 Nm. The transmission system is matched with a 5-speed manual /6-speed automatic manual transmission, and only the predecessor version is available.

Editor’s comment:

  It can be seen that from the early production of FAW-Volkswagen brand models to the birth of Jetta brand, the production of the 5 millionth vehicle is obviously a brand-new milestone belonging to FAW-Volkswagen Chengdu factory. At the same time, in this process, we also saw that the Volkswagen brand has made further progress from its early success in the China market to its localization and market segmentation, and further expanded the domestic market through the Jetta brand. In the future, Volkswagen will make a firm transformation towards electrification, so what will be Jetta’s next car? Can we see the emergence of Jetta brand electric products? Or, what will happen to the cars around us when the next 5 million cars of FAW-Volkswagen Chengdu factory are achieved? (Text/car home Ma Aijun)

Scientifically Respond to Health Crisis with Healthy Lifestyle

First, the "ostrich policy" triggered a health crisis

We can often see such a situation around us: the career is successful, but the health is far away from him; He made money, but his illness made him unable to enjoy life. Health has become an urgent and urgent problem for modern people. In real life, many people adopt the "ostrich policy" for health, that is, out of sight, out of mind or out of mind. Give an example around you. Mr. Wang, a neighbor, just retired, said that he always felt "fooling his face" recently. According to his chief complaint, it is estimated that there may be something wrong with his blood pressure and heart, and he was introduced to the director of internal medicine of a third-class hospital for diagnosis and treatment. But Mr. Wang politely refused: "I never see a doctor. When I see a disease, I will find you." As a result, one morning, Mr. Wang suddenly died of a heart attack, which was really regrettable. The same tragedy happened to Mr. Wang’s 38-year-old daughter soon, which is a typical tragedy caused by the "ostrich policy". Therefore, no one should think that the threat of health is far away from us, even young people should seriously face every health problem. You must know that the golden key to health is in your own hands, one point of care, one point of peace!

Second, the change of health concept

The new life parameter of health is calledhealthy life, including disability-free life, disease-free and chronic life, and active life. People are pursuing a healthy life without disability, autonomy and happiness. To reach this level, we must pay attention to and intervene in the whole process of life, and finally realize healthy aging.

The definition of health given by the World Health Organization is that health is not only the absence of disease or infirmity, but the perfection of all aspects of physical, psychological and social adaptability. This is actually a "three-dimensional" health concept. It can be said that health is to achieve mutual adaptation and dynamic balance between human body and environment. Getting health must start from the details, but how many people can really do it? Too many people need to pay attention to their own health. In recent years, health education, health promotion and health management have gone deeper into the whole health field, communities and enterprises.

Third, chronic disease blowout, alarm bells ringing

According to Hanshu, there was a family whose tenants saw a tall and straight chimney in the kitchen, and a lot of dry firewood was piled up beside the kitchen. The tenant advised the owner to change the chimney into a curved one and move the firewood from the stove to the courtyard, so as to avoid a fire. But the master didn’t listen. A few days later, a fire broke out at home. All the villagers came to help put out the fire, and the fire was finally put out. In order to thank everyone, the host bought wine and killed cows to entertain his neighbors, rewarded them according to their merits and arranged seats, and those who were overwhelmed took seats, but forgot to invite tenants. Someone reminded the host that if you had listened to the tenant’s suggestion earlier, you could have avoided the fire and saved the cost of buying wine and killing cattle. Today, you treat people according to their merits. Why do you only treat the burned-out people who bravely put out the fire as guests, but don’t give any reward to those who propose a sudden start in salary?’ The landlord suddenly woke up and invited the tenants. This is the origin of the idiom "sudden change in salary", which shows the importance of nip in the bud. The same is true for treating diseases and preventing diseases.

In the past two or three decades, cardiovascular diseases and cancer have become the top killers threatening the health of Chinese residents. According to the Report on Nutrition and Chronic Diseases of China Residents (2015), the incidence of cardiovascular diseases in China has increased rapidly, while the incidence of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases has declined after intervention in developed countries. Experts predict that the incidence of coronary heart disease among middle-aged people in China will increase by 26% for men and 19% for women after 10 years. The incidence of stroke is more. It is worth noting that the awareness rate of cardiovascular diseases, treatment and control of Chinese people are seriously lacking, which is very worrying.

Fourth, promote a healthy lifestyle

In 1970s, Canadian scholars put forward that "behavior and lifestyle factors, environmental factors, biological factors and health service factors" are the four major factors affecting health. Among them, unhealthy lifestyle has the greatest impact on health. Fortunately, more and more people have realized the harm of bad lifestyle to health and paid more and more attention to promoting healthy lifestyle in daily life.

Victoria Declaration of 1992 International Heart Health Conferenceput forward"Four cornerstones of health":"Reasonable diet, moderate exercise, smoking cessation and alcohol restriction, mental health."

The Weimar Institute of the United States put forward "eight elements of a healthy life (NEWSTART new starting point)": 1. Nutrition; 2. Exercise; 3. Drinking water; 4. Sunlight; 5. Temperance; 6. Air; 7. Rest; 8. Trust.

The first edition in 2008 and the second edition in 2015 of "China citizens’ health literacy 66".

Twelve tips for keeping healthy at the 9th Global Conference on Health Promotion (Shanghai 2016): 1. Eat healthy; 2. Carry out physical activities in your own way every day; 3. Vaccination; 4. Do not use any form of tobacco products; 5. Avoid or minimize the use of alcohol; 6. Manage stress to promote health; 7. Adopt good personal hygiene practices; 8. Don’t drive fast, don’t drink and drive; 9. Wear a seat belt when driving and a helmet when riding a bicycle; 10. Take safe sex; 11. Check your health regularly; 12. Breastfeeding is the most beneficial for babies.

Notice of the State Council Municipality on Printing and Distributing the Twelfth Five-Year Plan for National Environmental Protection

Guo Fa [2011] No.42

People’s governments of all provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government, ministries and commissions and institutions directly under the State Council:

  The Twelfth Five-Year Plan for National Environmental Protection is hereby printed and distributed to you, please implement it carefully.

  the State Council

  December 15th, 2011

Twelfth Five-Year Plan of National Environmental Protection

  Protecting the environment is our basic national policy. This plan is formulated to promote the scientific development of environmental protection during the Twelfth Five-Year Plan period and accelerate the construction of a resource-saving and environment-friendly society.

  I. Environmental situation

  The CPC Central Committee and the State Council attach great importance to environmental protection as an important part of implementing the Scientific Outlook on Development, as an important means to transform the mode of economic development, and as a fundamental measure to promote the construction of ecological civilization. During the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" period, the state took the significant reduction of the total discharge of major pollutants as a binding indicator of economic and social development, made great efforts to solve outstanding environmental problems, and made important progress in understanding, policies, systems and capabilities. Compared with 2005, the chemical oxygen demand and the total amount of sulfur dioxide emissions decreased by 12.45% and 14.29% respectively, exceeding the emission reduction task. With the rapid development of pollution control facilities, the sewage treatment rate of the city has increased from 52% in 2005 to 72%, and the installed capacity of thermal power desulfurization has increased from 12% to 82.6%.

  At present, the overall deterioration of China’s environmental situation has not been fundamentally curbed, environmental contradictions are prominent, and the pressure continues to increase. Water pollution is serious in some key river basins and sea areas, and atmospheric haze is prominent in some regions and cities. The discharge of major pollutants in many areas exceeds the environmental capacity. Environmental pollution in rural areas has intensified, and heavy metals, chemicals, persistent organic pollutants, soil, groundwater and other pollution have emerged. In some areas, the ecological damage is serious, the ecosystem function is degraded, and the ecological environment is relatively fragile. Nuclear and radiation safety risks have increased.

The total telecom business increased by 18% year-on-year, and the overall operation of the industry improved.

  Second, the foundation is stronger and the network capacity continues to improve. The network foundation is becoming more and more complete. By the end of March, China had built more than 2.64 million 5G base stations, and the number of ports with gigabit network service capacity exceeded 17.93 million, realizing "Gigabit in the city" and "5G in the county". The scale of computing power has grown rapidly. The computing power supply system optimized by steps has been initially established, and the computing power scale ranks second in the world, with an annual growth rate of nearly 30%. The development of IPv6 continues to deepen. From "usable" to "easy to use" of IPv6, mobile network IPv6 traffic surpassed IPv4 traffic for the first time, accounting for more than 50%, which ushered in the Internet era dominated by IPv6.

  Third, the application is wider, and the popularization of high-speed services is accelerated. The scale of connectivity continues to grow. By the end of March, there were 620 million users of 5G mobile phones, over 100 million users of Gigabit optical networks and 1.984 billion users of mobile Internet of Things in China, and the proportion of "things" connectivity increased to 53.8%. The foundation of the Internet of Everything was steadily consolidated. Converged applications have gone deeper and deeper. 5G applications have covered 52 national economic categories, and the number of "double Gigabit" network application cases of 5G and Gigabit optical networks in China has exceeded 50,000. The mobile Internet of Things has achieved large-scale applications in digital city construction, smart transportation, mobile payment and other fields.

  Fourth, the experience is better, and user services are shared. The universal service of telecommunications has been promoted in depth, the network coverage level in remote rural areas has been continuously improved, and the 5G network has been expanded to rural areas, which strongly supports the rural revitalization strategy. The user’s sense of acquisition has been continuously improved.

    Movie network news(Compile/Ji Zhongpeng) Ken Watanabe’s new film Hayabusa: Returning from afar (directed by Tomoyuki Takimoto) will be released soon, and the blind pianist Nobuyi Nobuhiko has decided to be the composer of the whole film. So far, Tsui has composed theme songs for many films and Japanese dramas, but it is the first time to write music for the whole film. As the producer of the film, Sakamoto Shunshi was deeply moved by the impromptu piano performance in the snow in a TV program, and immediately sent an invitation to Dijing to create music for the film. For Tsui himself, the "vast universe" fascinated him, so he readily agreed with the feeling of "must challenge".

    In June, Tsui was invited to visit the shooting scene. Ken Watanabe, the chief planner and starring, not only personally led Tsui to visit, but also got in close contact with the Hayabusa model. Regarding Watanabe’s impression, Tsui said: "Watanabe not only showed me around every corner of the shooting scene, but also took the model in his hand and patiently explained the model structure to me. Watanabe is really a good actor, and I was very moved by his meticulous work." Tsui’s words show his admiration for Ken Watanabe.

    Regarding the requirements of music creation, Tomoyuki Takimoto, as the director, put forward that "I hope that the frustration and success of scientists can be completely expressed through music."

  Zongzi is fragrant during the Dragon Boat Festival. How much do you know about zongzi?

  Zongzi was called "Jiaoshu" in ancient times.

  According to legend, in ancient times, our ancestors used plant leaves to wrap food raw materials and cooked them by "stone cooking", which is the embryonic form of zongzi. Later, people used plant leaves to wrap millet into horns instead of yellow cattle as sacrifices, and the earliest zongzi "horn millet" came into being. After a long evolution, Zongzi has become an important part of China’s traditional food culture.

  Why are zongzi often quadrangular?

  From the technical point of view, the four corners are wrapped to add more stuffing and the appearance is fuller. When wrapping, leave a gap in one corner, which can leave room for the expansion of glutinous rice. Later, because of its unique and beautiful appearance, the four-corner dumplings gradually emerged.

  Why do you use glutinous rice for dumplings?

  First of all, glutinous rice is rich in protein, carbohydrates, vitamins B1 and B2, and has high nutritional value. Secondly, glutinous rice is sticky and soft, which can be well wrapped and not easily deformed.

  How to cook zongzi?

  Modern people generally use pressure cookers to cook zongzi, which can be cooked for about 1 hour. The traditional method of cooking zongzi is complicated. Take Jiaxing Zongzi as an example. After the water in the iron pot is boiled, put the Zongzi into the pot, soak it in water, first use high fire, then boil it with low fire for two hours, and finally turn off the fire for one hour. Water should be collected from Jiaxing ancient canal, stored in vat and precipitated with alum for later use. Mulberry wood should be used for firewood to ensure proper temperature.

  What are the types of zongzi?

  Zongzi in different places has its own characteristics. For example, in Beijing, zongzi is a large, oblique quadrangle or triangle, mostly filled with red dates and red bean paste, and a few with preserved fruit; Guangdong Zongzi is a representative variety in South China, which is small in size and unique in appearance, and salted meat Zongzi is the most common. There are also bamboo tube dumplings in Yunnan minority areas; Jiaxing Zongzi is the representative of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai.

  Where is the "new" new type of zongzi?

  "New" mainly refers to the change of stuffing and technology. Modern zongzi stuffing has expanded from traditional ingredients to mushroom, chocolate, fruit and nuts. Technologically, "Zongzi-like" products like Crystal Zongzi appeared. In the future, healthy, light food and high-value dumplings will be more and more popular among young people.

Guterres is furious! Rare condemnation, what is the reason?

Reference News Network reported on July 7 According to the Associated Press, UN Secretary-General Guterres rarely condemned Israel on the 6 th, denouncing its largest military action against a refugee camp in the West Bank in 20 years as excessive use of force.

Guterres is obviously very angry at Israel’s attack on Jenin refugee camp. He said that more than 100 civilians were injured, thousands of people were forced to flee, schools and hospitals were damaged, and water and electricity supply was interrupted.

He also criticized Israel for preventing medical and humanitarian workers from reaching all those in need.

According to the report, Guterres told reporters: "I strongly condemn all violence against civilians, including terrorist acts."

When asked whether this condemnation was directed at Israel, he replied: "This is a condemnation of all acts of excessive use of force. Obviously, the Israeli army is currently using excessive force. "

He once again called on Israel to "abide by the provisions of international law."

According to foreign media reports, about 1,000 Israeli soldiers attacked Jenin with the support of drones on the 3rd. Israel says the target is the "command center" of the militants. This is considered to be the largest military operation launched by Israel in the West Bank in 20 years.

The office of President Mahmoud Abbas of the State of Palestine issued a statement on the 3rd, saying that the Palestinian side suspended all contacts and security coordination with Israel after Israel launched military operations, which caused a large number of Palestinian casualties.
