[Advantages and characteristics of traditional Chinese characters]
Westerners only have letters, but Chinese characters have rich font variations and literal meanings. Traditional Chinese characters reflect the essence of ancient Chinese culture.
The simplification of Chinese characters not only reduces strokes, but also deletes and merges a large number of original characters, which directly leads to the proliferation of multiple meanings of a word. The glyphs of many characters have nothing to do with the meaning of the characters. The traditional Chinese characters have specific meanings, and the glyphs and meanings are harmonious, beautiful and practical.
Chinese characters before simplification focused on expressive meanings. Each character had its origin, and each character’s meaning had a detailed evolution process, including both pictograms and ideographic meanings. After simplification, the historical origin of the characters is abandoned, and the emphasis is placed directly on simplicity and ease of remembering. The cultural color of the characters is greatly reduced but the usability is greatly increased. Traditional Chinese characters have a strong cultural color and directly represent the characteristics of our Chinese culture.
Advantages and features of traditional Chinese characters:
1. Traditional Chinese characters comply with the Six Books’ character creation principles and establish a complete character creation system, which greatly increases the scientificity and logic of Chinese characters. Many Chinese characters have their own meaning structure, which makes the process of learning Chinese characters a learning method that uses the meaning structure to infer the meaning of the characters. The result is an even better Chinese character system.
2. Traditional Chinese characters can reflect various dialects or ancient pronunciations, allowing people in some areas to understand them. The relationship between phonetic tone, dialect and ancient pronunciation was connected.
3. In areas such as Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan that use traditional Chinese characters, the proportion of illiterate people is far lower than that in mainland China.
4. It is conducive to cultural exchanges between mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macao, and is further connected with the Chinese characters used in foreign countries such as Japan.
5. Traditional Chinese characters are conducive to the inheritance of China’s five thousand years of traditional culture. Many modern Chinese people understand traditional Chinese characters and can directly read ancient classics.
6. Traditional Chinese characters have good pronunciation and meaning structure.
7. Traditional Chinese characters are rigorous from the perspective of beautiful calligraphy. At the same time, they have a special aesthetic feeling for calligraphy styles such as seal script and official script.
8. The process of traditionalization has always been carried out in Chinese characters and accounts for a large proportion in the development of Chinese characters. This is mainly a natural development for the practical needs of discerning meaning.
9. Traditional Chinese characters are conducive to reading by fans of Chinese traditional culture. There are some loyal supporters of traditional Chinese characters in China, lovers of ancient literature, and scholars who love history.
Additional advantages include:
1. Chinese characters are pictographs, and their origin is to derive meaning from the characters. Traditional Chinese characters evolved from Oracle. After more than 2,000 years of use and development, they have become very stable and standardized, with a complete radical system structure. It not only maintains the meaning of the word “look”, but it is also easier to identify than the oracle bone script, small seal script, etc.;
2. Simplified Chinese characters are simplified from traditional Chinese characters, but they have lost the meaning of “Looking” characters to a large extent. For example, the simplified Chinese character “horse” and the traditional Chinese character “horse”, obviously the latter is more vivid and pictographic.
3. In terms of reading: Since simplified characters are simplified from traditional characters, basically traditional characters can also be recognized. For example, when I was in the fourth grade of primary school, I had already read the traditional Chinese versions of martial arts novels such as “Seven Swordsmen” and “Three Heroines of the River”. This is not a problem for today’s smarter children. If traditional Chinese characters had been taught at that time, it would not have been a problem.
4. In terms of cognition: Due to simplification, some characteristics of traditional Chinese have been lost. Many simplified characters look similar, which is not conducive to distinction, such as “Chu Wai”, “Yu Qian”, “Ti Xiu”, and they The original traditional characters “chuwai”, “yuqian” and “tixiu” are easier to distinguish. Chinese characters are pictographs and graphic characters, and each Chinese character is a graphic. We all have this experience: when we see two graphics with a small difference, it takes a long time to distinguish them, but when we see two graphics with a large difference, it takes less time to distinguish them. For example, for “Tixiu”, the eyes need to stay a little longer under the wooden character to identify whether it is “Tixiu” or “Ti”, and “Tixiu” is clear at a glance. These are also characters that are often confused by primary school students in Mainland China. Simplified Chinese characters have added many similar characters, which increases the time of the reading process (this is why Master Li Ao once said that “simplified characters are difficult to read, but traditional characters are easy to read”). This makes the process of learning Chinese characters confusing. Therefore, reading traditional Chinese characters is faster.
5. In terms of teaching: For children, there is no difference between the time it takes to recognize “horse” and the time it takes to recognize “horse”. This is the same as when we look at a figure composed of 5 strokes and look at a figure. The recognition and distinction produced when there are graphics composed of 10 strokes are consistent.
6. In terms of writing: Simplified Chinese characters are easier to write than traditional Chinese characters. This was the original purpose of simplifying Chinese characters. However, in the information age, more and more text is entered through computers. For the latter, there is no difference in the time and storage space required to enter simplified and traditional characters.
7. In terms of communication: Traditional Chinese characters and simplified characters only have different font shapes, but the pronunciation is exactly the same. Therefore, people will not have any obstacles when communicating with their mouths and ears.
8. Some people say that if you want to restore traditional Chinese characters, you might as well just restore Oracle. That’s it. Because traditional Chinese characters are standardized characters with a complete radical system structure, characters with the same radicals are both connected and different, which shortens the learning time and process of Chinese characters. Oracle and other writings are all unstandardized writing. Almost every character is different, and the same character is written differently by different people.
9. Similarly, some people advocate further simplifying Chinese characters into Pinyin characters, which is even more undesirable. In this case, the pictographic characteristics of Chinese characters will be completely lost, and only the radicals will remain (look at the Japanese katakana “アイウエオ”), isn’t it simplified in this way? You can see from these simple radicals Can you tell the meaning of the word? Because of this, a large number of Chinese characters are mixed in the current Japanese to make up for it), and even become pinyin.
[Chinese martial arts in Taiwan]In addition to the cultural relics of the Forbidden City, Taiwan also retains a rare cultural heritage, which is Chinese martial arts!
When martial arts was introduced to Taiwan, there were roughly two waves of peaks. The first wave was at the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty. The soldiers and civilians of Fujian and Guangdong followed Zheng Chenggong across the sea to Taiwan, and also brought Chinese martial arts to Taiwan. The martial arts at that time were mainly boxing from the southern part of the mainland, roughly including Shaolin Yida Zun, Er Taizu, Three Walkers (Monkey Fist), Four Arhats, and Five White Cranes. To this day, these martial arts in Taiwan still retain a considerable degree of the legacy of the Ming Dynasty. In a sense, this can be regarded as another kind of “seeking for the wild”.
The peak of the second wave was in 1949. Two million soldiers and civilians retreated to Taiwan with the Kuomintang, and brought many martial arts schools from the mainland to Taiwan. However, this time they mainly focused on boxing skills from the north of the mainland, such as Mantis Boxing, Di Gongquan, Xingyiquan, Baguazhang, Piguazhang, Yanqingquan, etc. Many of this wave of martial arts practitioners who moved to Taiwan were martial arts masters from the “Central Chinese Martial Arts Academy” at that time. They brought vitality to Taiwan’s martial arts scene at that time and had an important impact on the subsequent promotion of martial arts in Taiwan.
Going one step further, Taiwanese scholars say that the development of Taiwanese boxing can be traced back to Zheng Chenggong, a survivor of the Ming Dynasty, who reclaimed Taiwan and used it as a base to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty. However, after the fall of the Zheng regime, according to historical records, all Han people in Taiwan at that time were returned to their places of origin. Therefore, a more reliable view is that the Qing government allowed Han people to cross Taiwan, and the development of Taiwan’s martial arts really took effect. , but because the descendants of King Ningjing of the Ming Dynasty are still in Taiwan, the theory that the Han people were driven out of Taiwan in the Ming and Zheng Dynasties is not true. During the rule of the Qing Dynasty, the Han ethnic groups that came to Taiwan to develop were mainly Hokkien and Hakka people from Fujian and Guangdong.
During the Japanese rule in Taiwan, the Japanese government strictly prohibited the Han people in Taiwan from learning traditional Chinese martial arts in order to suppress the anti-Japanese movement among Taiwanese people. Therefore, Taiwanese boxing officially declined during this period. However, during the Japanese rule, the Japanese government also developed kendo and judo in Taiwan. After the Nationalist Government moved to Taiwan, it brought a large number of various martial arts from mainland China. At that time, the northern martial arts from China also came to Taiwan to develop, and there are many systems that have been lost in mainland China.
Since the Nationalist Government came to Taiwan, martial arts practitioners who came to Taiwan with the Nationalist Government brought in martial arts systems such as Bajiquan, Mantis Boxing, Tai Chi, Baoding Wrestling, Xingyi Quan and other northern martial arts styles that are also in Taiwan. Inheritance and roots include the teachers of the Central Chinese Martial Arts Center; in addition, martial arts from Japan and South Korea, such as karate, taekwondo, and aikido, were gradually introduced to Taiwan, so the development of martial arts became more diversified, but these are not Taiwan’s unique traditional martial arts. Explore scope.
According to the views of local Taiwanese people: Since the development of so-called Chinese martial arts under the management of the Nationalist Government was led by the martial arts groups that came to Taiwan with the Nationalist Government, the boxing styles that were earlier developed in Taiwan during the Qing Dynasty were relatively I did not see such significant activities; in addition, Taiwanese society was facing a step-by-step transformation at that time. An agricultural society was transformed into an industrial and commercial society, and environmental factors caused the martial arts culture to slowly fade away.
At that time, the northern Chinese martial arts also came to Taiwan and developed, and there are many systems that have been lost in mainland China. This is currently the most distinctive feature of Taiwanese martial arts.
