When surfing the Internet, have you ever met someone who cares about "de di de"? There are some netizens who can't help but remind each other when they see the words "de", "de" and "de" used irregularly.

Let’s chat for a while before going to bed. There is a world in dreams. Hello, listeners.

上网冲浪时,你遇到过计较“的地得”的人吗?有一些网友,他们看到“的”“地”“得”三个字使用不规范时,就会忍不住提醒对方。 Even when I accept the confession of a boy I like, when my friend is sick and asks for comfort, when my father happily posts a message to Moments, I can't help but have the urge to "correct" and solemnly remind the other person to use "De Di De" correctly. “的地得”能分清吗,好分清吗,为什么要分清? Today we will talk about this topic.

Some scholars once made statistics on the Chinese corpus and found that the unassuming word "的" is the most frequently used among Chinese characters . The word "的" is like the salt of Chinese characters. It seems ordinary, but in fact it is necessary. It is difficult to detect if it is used correctly, but it is obvious at a glance if it is used incorrectly. 比起“在”和“再”、“做”和“作”、“戴”和“带”,“的地得”的出场率和关注度自然高出不少。 Just as learning how to put salt is a necessary step in learning to cook, correctly distinguishing "the land" can also be said to be an unavoidable topic in learning and using modern Chinese .

It is not a simple matter to explain the ins and outs of "De Di De".如果要展开梳理这三个字的源流演变,评析对于“的地得”的学术分歧,几天几夜也说不完。 In short, from a historical perspective, "De Di De" began in the Tang and Song Dynasties, flourished in the "May 4th Movement", and came into being in the contemporary era. It has a relatively short history and has a relatively complicated evolution. From a synchronic perspective, "De Di De" performs its own duties in modern Chinese and has a clear division of labor. "De" is the mark of attributive, "Di" is the mark of adverbial, and "De" is the mark of complement. The usage rules are very clear.

On the Internet platform, there are many irregularities in the use of "De Di De".一方面,是一些内容平台、内容生产者对文字把关不严。 On the other hand, fast-paced and fragmented online communication, as well as the popularity of Pinyin input method and voice input method, have also contributed to the situation. In the instant communication of , accuracy gives way to speed, and rigor gives way to efficiency. A few typos, a few misused or even unused punctuation points can be expressed through the supplement of context. 在这种条件下,即使能区分“的地得”的人,也可能来不及、顾不上、不在意了。

有人觉得“的地得”不过是个不起眼的助词,用错了不影响大局,事实并非如此。某年某地的高考语文作文题,叫做“诗意地生活”,题目特别强调要注意“地”字。 “诗意地生活”和“诗意的生活”,“地”和“的”展现出动静有别的生活方式。 Linguist Mr. Lu Shuxiang once gave an example, "These two vases are small and interesting" and "These two vases are small and interesting." The former refers to the smaller vase, which is better, and the latter means that both vases are smaller. "De" and "De" convey different opinions and attitudes. For another example, "She jumped up with joy" and "She jumped up with joy". The former focuses on the action of "jumping", while the latter focuses on the emotion of "happy". "Di" and "De" express different concerns. From this we can see that don’t neglect doing good deeds because they are small, and don’t neglect doing them just because words are small. Chinese has experienced thousands of years of evolution, becoming rich and concise, broad and subtle.哪怕是一个字、一个标点,也能担起表情达意的重任,也值得使用者一丝不苟地对待。

It taught how to distinguish "的" and "地". For a time, learning grammar, teaching grammar, and studying grammar became fashionable. Grammar classes have been added to the school, and even government cadres, workers, soldiers, etc. are eager to ponder "subject, predicate, and object". This craze for learning to standardize Chinese expressions is so widespread and powerful that it is unprecedented in Chinese history, and it has truly improved the language application ability of several generations.

At present, the situation in reality and cyberspace is complex, and the scenarios for using Chinese have undergone tremendous changes, which have put forward new and higher requirements for the standardized use of language and characters. It is not difficult for users to have the ability to accurately distinguish and use "De Di De". What is difficult is to face the impact of fast pace and fragmentation and maintain a serious and rigorous attitude towards "De Di De" at all times. The correct use of "De Di De" in is not something you should do, but it is something you can't do. standardizes the use of language and characters in cyberspace. You might as well start with this most commonly used Chinese character. Before clicking the send button, make sure what you want to send is "的", "地", or "得".

This is exactly what

use Chinese, carefully consider every word and sentence; write articles with wonderful pens.
