Why do courageous people use Chinese characters? What are their origins with us?

Brave people use Chinese characters because they are Han Chinese to the core. Their ancestors were an armed force that fled to Myanmar at the end of the Ming Dynasty. Since Queen Gui was killed by Wu Sangui and the Qing Dynasty was replaced by the Ming Dynasty, these immigrants could not return and settle in Myanmar.

Before 1968, the local organizations in Kokang still used the naming methods of the Ming Dynasty, such as garrison, thousand cases and eight cases. The clothes of ordinary people are also Chinese clothes of the Ming Dynasty, believing in Confucius and Guan Gong. They have always been of the royal blood of the Ming Dynasty and speak the official language of the Ming Dynasty.

Since the early Qing Dynasty, the Han nationality in Kokang area has gradually increased. The Han nationality, surnamed Yang, became a local power, adopting the practice of neighboring chieftains to rule other local ethnic minorities. For example, in the eighth year of Yongzheng (1730), Yang Youcai exercised his functions and powers in the name of "patent as a doctor". During the Daoguang period, Yang was officially named "hereditary Kokang county magistrate", thus gaining the legal sovereignty of the Han Tusi, and the independence of the Kokang area was formed.

1894, according to the Sino-British Agreement on Commercial Terms of the Yunnan-Myanmar Border, Kokang and Danni in the North were assigned to China. But then Britain signed the agreement again on the pretext of clearing the government's breach of contract. At this point, the Kokang area has become a part of British Myanmar, and the Kokang people with the same customs and culture as Zhenkang have become nationals of British Myanmar. 1962, China and Myanmar demarcated the border and boldly became Myanmar territory.

The present situation of language use of courageous people.

In the final analysis, the Kokang people originated from the Han nationality, and the history of residents who moved to the Kokang area is about 300 years. Although living in Myanmar, most people can only speak Chinese, but can't speak Burmese, the national language of Myanmar. This is a random survey of 30 students and their families' language use by relevant scholars in a certain place in Kokang area, *** 180 people.

It is not difficult to see from the above table that all courageous people are proficient in Chinese courageous vocabulary. For Burmese Putonghua, only 180 people are proficient, and 68 people know a little. For the courageous people, whether inside or outside the family, whether local or non-local, the language they use is the courageous language of China, and their mother tongue is the most important or only language for their family and social communication.

Courage is a multi-ethnic gathering area with Chinese as the main body, which has always maintained a strong Chinese cultural atmosphere. In these places, Chinese not only plays the role of communication in traditional life, but also plays the role of cultural creation and inheritance. Those who are courageous respect Confucius and Mencius, believe in Buddhism and Taoism, and observe traditional festivals such as Spring Festival, Tomb-Sweeping Day, Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival.

The northern and eastern parts of Kokang area are connected with the border of Yunnan Province in China, with a length of173km. With the development of economy and culture in China, Chinese is becoming more and more important. Learning Chinese by the courageous people who are connected by mountains and rivers in China can not only preserve the national culture, but also meet the needs of work and life. The currency of modern Kokang area is RMB, the number of China Mobile is used for communication, and the power is transmitted by Yunnan Power Grid. The school adopts Chinese teaching, and the textbook is the textbook of nine-year compulsory education in Yunnan Province.
