Chinese Guide December 12, the results of the 2019 annual Chinese character votes for Japan were released. The Chinese character of the year that stood out from 210,000 votes was "Ling". The new year's name " Linghe " has become a popular this year. The first Chinese character of the Linghe era is "Ling"! In addition to referring to the national aspiration of the new emperor in 2019 and Japan enters a new era, it is also an expectation to transcend last year's word "disaster" and calm the pain.
12, the annual Chinese characters were publicly published in Kyoto Kiyomizu Temple Ouyuyuan. Kiyoshi Mori, 79, abbot of Kiyomizu Temple, wrote down the Chinese characters for this year's vote results as usual in previous years. There are 216,365 votes this year, a total of 10,000 votes, up from last year; the character "Ling" stood out with 30,427 high votes (14.07%), second place "New" (14,850 votes) and third place "Hong Kong" (1281 votes), becoming the first representative Chinese character of the New Year's Order and the times.
2019 is also an important beginning for Japan to cross Heisei and welcome the new era Reiwa. On April 1, the new year name "Reiwa" was announced, and the Emperor Naruhito's ascendance to the throne on May 1, and his desire for a new future will naturally be revealed in the popular candidates of the Chinese characters of the year "Rei", "He" and "New".
Japan entered Reiwa year from Heihong. In addition to referring to the year order and the Chinese government, the "order" also echoes many "regulations" such as Japan's consumption tax rate increase this year, black market, drugs and other issues have also attracted the attention of the "order". At the same time, natural disasters in the past year have also issued "orders" of advice and "orders" of refuge.
This year's Chinese characters are live broadcast by the Japanese Niconico platform. However, when the results were released, many netizens lamented that the word "Ling" was not surprising, and there were no surprises. Some even said that "Mandarin skills were low." However, according to the predictions of previous companies, "Ling" is indeed a popular candidate for this year. The fourth place is "change", and the annual Chinese character "disaster" of last year was ranked fifth.
2019 Japan was also a year of trauma that has caused many disasters and unforgettable trauma to the public. In the first half of the year, there was a national incident in which Ikebukuro riots were injured in April, a car accident in Otsu children died in May, and an indiscriminate killing incident in Kawasaki, which caused strong social unrest.
In the second half of the year, many major shocks occurred one after another - the "Japan-South Korea trade war" that broke out in July, the "Kyoani arson tragedy" that shocked the international situation, followed by the heavy rains of Kitakyushu in August, the "Chibala Power Blackout" in French typhoon in September, the heavy rain in Hajibe in October hit East Japan, and the famous Shuri Castle in Okinawa was also burned overnight on October 31.
This year's Chinese characters should be "南"! The well-known Kabuki actor, the fourth generation Nakamura Hojiro, was asked about the Chinese character prediction this year. Nakamura chose the word "南" (Sakura), which refers to the World Cup Rugby that caused a sensation in Japan this year. The alias of the Japanese team is "Brave Sakura Warriors" (Brave Nakamura Warriors) Nakamura told reporters, "I have never been so loud and enthusiastic in my life. It's really amazing!" It can be seen that the World Olive Championship has set off in Japan. However, this word cherry blossom also reminds people of the recent "Cherry Blossom Viewing Scandal" storm by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and , which is interesting.
Japan's annual Chinese character voting started in 1995 (Heisei 7). It not only reflects Japanese social information and the public's spiritual images, but also promotes Japanese Chinese characters and calligraphy culture. The selection activity is under the responsibility of the Japanese Kanji Proficiency Association, which calls for manuscripts and votes to general citizens and groups (not recommended by celebrities). On December 12, each year, the vote results are published at Kiyomizu Temple in Kyoto.
Generally speaking, the selection of Chinese characters in the year will cover various current affairs and social atmospheres of the year, and may also include positive and negative meanings.When the first vote was held, the first representative Chinese character selected was "Zhen" - a symbol of the "Zhen" brought to society by the Hanshen earthquake in 1995 and the "Zhenri Ksai attack incident in the Aum. The word "inverted" in 1997 (Heisei 9th) refers to the bankruptcy of Yamaichi Securities at that time, and also refers to Japan's desire to "defeat the strong enemy" for the first time in the World Football Championship. Since the event was held, the
event has been held. The abbot of Kiyomizu Temple and also a director of the Inspection Association has been responsible for writing on the spot. Lian Senqingfan himself was writing the results of the voting. Only Kaifeng would know that there was no opportunity to practice or try writing in advance. The written annual Chinese character meeting will be displayed publicly in Kiyomizu Temple main hall, and then moved to the Kyoto Chinese Character Museum for exhibition. The brush used by Kiyoshi Mori this year is "Nei Er Qian Hair Pen" (made by Kumano Hiroshima Prefecture), and the paper is "Kyukiya Waka Paper" produced in Kyoto.
Chinese characters of the year are the most representative Chinese characters selected every year, such as China, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia and Singapore .
Malaysia's Chinese characters are also released recently - "deception". The character won 24.62% of the votes and led the way, standing out from the top ten candidate Chinese characters (worry, tax, disgust, haze, sleepiness, regret, horse, claw, chaos and fraud).
Machinery Center Chairman and Chairman of the Chinese Character Working Committee Datuk Wu Hengcan said that the Chinese Characters in 2019 are the condition summarized after all people took the pulse and diagnosed the country.
Wu Hengcan said, "This word looks negative, but it is a good thing in a positive sense. Isn't it a good thing to find out what's wrong with you earlier?"
