The importance of language and writing to the inheritance of national culture

The importance of language and writing to cultural inheritance;

Language and writing are the basic elements and distinctive signs of culture and an important carrier of cultural inheritance, development and prosperity. Whether it is to build the spiritual home of the Chinese nation or to enhance our cultural soft power, we need to do a good job in language and writing to provide a powerful source for more basic, broader and deeper cultural self-confidence.

The importance of language and writing to the country;

Language is protected and respected, which is the guarantee of national harmony and social harmony. All ethnic groups with mother tongues, big or small, love their mother tongues and have deep feelings for them. National equality naturally includes language equality; Respect for the nation naturally includes respect for its language and writing.

Extended data

To protect the spoken and written languages of all ethnic groups, we need to deal with the following relations:

The first is the relationship between strong language and weak language. In any multilingual country, there will be differences between different languages, and the language policy should promote their coordination, complementarity and harmonious coexistence.

The second is the relationship between language complementarity and language competition. Different languages exist in a society. Due to the differences in language background, language functions and language users, there will be competition besides complementarity. Language competition is inevitable, and the country's language policy should be conducive to adjusting language contradictions and turning unfavorable factors into favorable ones.

The third is the relationship between mother tongue and lingua franca. It is necessary for ethnic minorities to learn the national common language, which is also conducive to the development and prosperity of ethnic minorities. In areas where ethnic minorities are distributed, a scientific and reasonable bilingual mechanism should be established.
