The Harm of Informatization Development to Traditional Culture

The relationship between computer application and traditional culture should attract our attention. In addition to the problem of popularization, Chinese character input also has a problem of the development direction of Chinese character informatization. This paper illustrates the problems faced by Chinese character coding input method and the theoretical basis for solving the problems through an example of writing decimal code. It mainly involves the specifications and quantity of parts, and the font of parts cannot enter the computer font. This paper puts forward a component "mnemonic symbol" suitable for coding, the application of Chinese character association description method, the method of defining high-frequency word coding with conjunctions and assigning values to different types of Chinese characters such as numbers, branches and crosses. Call for maintaining and developing traditional culture in the digital revolution, and organically combine modernization with tradition.

In recent ten years, the pioneers of Chinese character coding have analyzed and summarized almost all the phonetic and morphological combinations of Chinese characters with great enthusiasm. However, it has never been generally recognized by the public, and the coding has changed from "applauding without giving up your seat" to "no one applauds". Language can be a meaningless symbol for professional beginners, or it can be replaced by equivalent numbers. However, for the public, language is life, emotion, a synthesis of sound, form and meaning, and a whole that can listen, speak, read and write.

Chinese character input method is not only the process of writing, but also the process of learning and spreading Chinese character culture. Solving the input method is just the beginning, and promoting the computer application of China traditional culture is the goal.

Basic preparation of Chinese character coding

The definition of "coding" is that information is given a specified code according to certain rules, and the original information can be recovered according to the opposite rules. Coding is not a language, nor can it replace it. From the perspective of language, there are still some shortcomings in the basic preparation of Chinese character coding:

First, the parts are nameless. Nearly half of the 640 components in the national standard are not used to pronunciation or appellation, or although they have "appellation", they are not known to the public and cannot be described in concise natural language.

Second, just take it apart and not pick it up. China people often use two methods to illustrate and explain Chinese characters, namely, the split method of "Li Muzi and Zhang Gongchang" and the association method of "Revolutionary Style". For Chinese characters with "cross-weight" structure, which are difficult to split and describe, loanwords are often used to explain them. However, most Chinese character coding methods only use the concept of "character splitting".

Third, the division of sound and form. The principle of language is "the unity of sound and code, the consistency of words and sounds", and simple symbol expression is not conducive to communication and memory.

"Coding" is a product of the industrial age, trying to use uniform rules to convert characters. It is not difficult for professionals to master telegraph codes and even various passwords. For the public, proficiency takes time and application requires conditions.

Parts have no place in the computer.

Components are the basis of Chinese characters, and Chinese character components should be necessary for learning Chinese characters. However, the practicality of Chinese character components does not seem to attract the attention of the society.

These components are not installed in the microcomputer.

Can component specifications enter the teaching content?

When will the title of the part be solved?

199765438+February, the national standard Chinese character components were released. Now more than four years have passed, but the "font matrix" standard and software products of these components have not been found in commercial computers. Therefore, it is difficult to discuss the text at the component level from network communication to traditional publishing, including the informationization of the text and the origin of the text.

The component specifications we use include all kinds of common and uncommon symbols, the phonetic symbols of 19 18 published by Beiyang government, and Japanese, Russian and Greek letters. Deviation is a complete list without Chinese components.

Chinese information products are also products, and all products have to be tested. However, so far, many standards for testing "input method" are only to restrain those "coding" people who want to innovate at will. On the contrary, why hasn't there been a standard and procedure table that can be recognized in the fields of language and electronic information? This plan should not only be implemented openly and quickly, but also take into account the intersection of multiple majors to adapt to the constantly innovative information technology and social needs.

Informatization is the informatization of society. We have made a lot of plans and set up many departments, but we still try to solve the problem of informatization with traditional agricultural methods or industrialized methods in our thinking habits. The backwardness of parts informatization is a full example.

Inductive classification of parts, reduction and increase of categories

In the information age, in order to complete the ideal digitization of Chinese characters, we must also seriously consider the simplification of components.

An army has thousands of officers and hundreds of positions, but as long as it has a rank of 10 or above, it can call any officer and command strangers to fight. For Chinese character parts, should we also create a more reasonable classification and naming of parts suitable for the information age?

If we say that the periodic table of elements and the names and symbol codes of elements can promote the expression of chemical reactions and make chemistry go out of the wrong path of alchemists and alchemists. Then, in the era of "digital earth", so many Chinese characters still lack popular pronunciation and standard coding, can't it be considered as a fault of "digitalization"?

For pen input with 26 letters, 560 parts must be summarized, merged and sorted. Of course, the induction and merger here is not to compress or modify the strokes of the parts themselves, but to give similar parts the same title and text, thus completing the "reduction and increase".

The word "stroke shape" in the Specification for Chinese Character Components once pointed out that the stroke shapes of regular script Chinese characters can be divided into dozens according to the stroke posture and trend, and the basic types are: horizontal and vertical.

The author thinks that, as far as strokes are concerned, in addition to "horizontal and vertical point folding", at least one category can be added, which is temporarily called "combination". Put the "extra points for folding pens" part "eh?" And so on, these parts have no title, and can be described by the word "he" and its assignment code "v" In this way, it is convenient to describe and input a Chinese character, such as "Let the supervisor smuggle people".

The first components of the words "Deng" and "Xue" are not used alone, but always follow the other half or one, which is inconvenient from the point of view of component assignment. Since a considerable number of parts have lost their meaning, can we give priority to "merging" in the classification of parts for convenience of use and memory?

The operation of "reducing and increasing categories" of components should not only consider the simplicity of component assignment, but also suit people's thinking habits; You also need to avoid using assignment codes in whole words. Therefore, restoring the title of parts is not only the task of writers, but also the unshirkable responsibility of information industry.

From coding to auxiliary language

Chinese character input coding is actually the "dividing line" between Chinese and western characters. The "dividing line" originated from the corresponding relationship between ancient ground counties and a certain area in the sky (Ci Hai, p. 72 1), and the correspondence between Chinese characters and western languages naturally has a "dividing line" with profound cultural connotation.

However, in practice, coding often only highlights the conversion process and digitization of words, ignoring cultural concepts and people's ability to play to varying degrees.

Chinese character informatization is not only the traditional "electronization" and "mechanization", but also a fuss about equipment and technology. The informatization of Chinese characters also includes improving the writing theory in the period of "writing brush", which can not completely replace symbols according to the current modern writing application norms, and can not choose the writing norms of 2000; Nor can the language application mode of 1980 be regarded as the symbol assignment specification of Chinese character informatization. In particular, to restore the title of non-word-forming parts, we should choose the information of the most active period of the parts in the initial stage of Chinese characters production 3000 years ago as the symbol assignment basis of Chinese character informatization.

Loanword naming parts and combined words

Through the development of Shilima, it is considered that the most important task of Chinese character informatization is the name and tone of Chinese character components, that is, the address. If the whole process of Chinese character writing can be described by concise natural language, the coding of Chinese character input and even the "intuitive sorting" rules of components will be "solved". (At present, it is the secondary sorting of strokes and stroke order)

A popular solution for Chinese character input should have the following characteristics:

1, the basic components of Chinese characters used should have standardized titles, popular pronunciations or mnemonics;

2. Chinese character coding adopts phonetic code synchronous assignment and presses phonetic key code;

3. The combination of "word segmentation" and "loanword explanation" or "mnemonic sound" (because computer programming is called "mnemonic symbol");

4. Use 1 or 2 characters to assign values to components, and adopt simple and clear code fetching rules;

In order to realize the language-based input method, 9 pronunciations (mnemonics) and assignment codes are tried for 29 unknown or unvoiced decimal codes, including:

Fu Zhuyin is "spring" (dripping spring), and the code is Q;

The mnemonic sound of brigade (No.7 and No.8) is "flag" and the assignment code is Q;

In the third and fourth strokes, the mnemonic sound is "leg" and the assignment code is t;

Moo, the mnemonic sound is "side door" and the assignment code is cm;

, Bi, the mnemonic sound is "scissors" and the assignment code is JD;

Huh? The mnemonic sound is "fishhook" and the assignment code is yg.

Of course, there are other schemes for this "mnemonic sound". Pronunciation is not the main thing, but to make the "components" easy to remember. For example, "Guo" also has the pronunciation of "Bao", but the balance problem of the overall coding assignment should be solved. This problem should also be considered in future component title assignment. If the assignment of "component appellation" is reasonable, it can be directly used for input coding and Chinese character teaching.

5. Define commonly used conjunctions, pronouns and other words as high-frequency words in coding.

Chinese characters are a prosodic language, with single words, double bytes and multiple bytes appearing alternately, and single word conjunctions and pronouns account for about 7- 10% in the text. Therefore, on the basis of using component memory method, it is an innovation to choose single-word connectives as high-frequency words for coding single words.

According to the order of 26 English letters, the high-frequency words are: a talent, a factory, if said in the mouth, is as important as people.

You should tune the components first, and then code them according to the sound. Words composed of these components can be represented by a set of component pronunciation (commonly known as opening sound) sequences. For example, the ancient glyph of brigade means that many people gather under the flag of Feijun, and its components are pronounced as "Fang, Niu, Qi and Man", and its fu-word sequence is naturally formed, that is, the initials of pronunciation are named as: fnqr.

Chinese character components with overlapping structure are explained by word borrowing and word grouping, and about 150 components are used in the embodiment. The assignment characteristics of parts and parts loanwords are as follows:

Revolution (GM), revolution (GM);

Body (stt), body (ST);

Rain (yll), rain dew (yl).

Classification and assignment method of ten-force code

From the linguistic point of view, there are diversity in meaning and pronunciation. People are used to describing the same thing in different ways. For example, different people can address the same person's name, position, professional title, qualifications, relative status, education level and even physical characteristics without misunderstanding. Can't people's language habits also be used to describe Chinese characters with different characteristics? At least Chinese characters, numbers, heavenly stems and earthly branches symbols, nameless parts and overlapping parts can be classified, and different assignment description methods can be determined. The completed Shili Code divides Chinese characters into numbers, heavenly stems and earthly branches, natural sounds, forms,

Custom mnemonics, components explained by phrases, etc.

Among them, the formula of digital component assignment is: one A, two B and three (initial) associations;

Third reading: 3345565; Perfect; (8) BJ avoids Beijing)

The numbering and allocation codes are:

One A, two B, three SS, four SW, five WL, six LQ, seven QB, eight BA, nine JS and ten SQ.

Traditional numbers are almost the same, and the character 1 is repeated once, for example, one AAB and two BBS followed by SSQ.

Ma Shili and Traditional Culture

Sixty years ago, Mr. Xiong Shili, the philosophical founder of China Neo-Confucianism, tried to revive and restore the creative, lively and energetic national cultural life. To commemorate Mr Xiong Shili's contribution to China culture, this Chinese auxiliary language was named Shilima.

With the rapid development of information technology, the modernization of China culture should also be promoted to a new height. Chinese character input should be changed from industrialized symbol processing to the development category of language modernization to meet the needs of the whole nation and history. Driven by the innovative mechanism, it is urgent to combine the majors of writing, coding and software, not only to solve the input method, but also to face the future of Chinese in the information age.

We should properly handle the relationship between tradition and modernization, as well as the relationship between foreign culture and local culture. It is necessary to adapt the Chinese national culture to the development of modernization and the requirements of society, and to achieve dialectical unity between tradition and modernization. Any brilliant culture, if it can't meet the needs of real life and stop innovating, will gradually die out because of the exhaustion of creativity. On the other hand, innovation must also adapt to the law of human evolution, and tools are only an extension of human capabilities and should not be a substitute.

Facing the problems of civilization and culture, tradition and progress, can we be proud of abandoning the "progress" of traditional cultural heritage? China's long-standing culture is a strong cohesive force of the Chinese nation. We have the responsibility to maintain and carry forward China's traditional culture in the digital revolution, and organically combine modernization with tradition. The use of Chinese characters is one of the most important components.
