Chinese culture has had a certain influence in the world thousands of years ago. At that time, China's neighboring countries were greatly affected, including Japan, North Korea, and South Korea that we are familiar with. So on and so forth. Today, our culture still has a long history and spread to all parts of the world. Many foreigners like Chinese culture and even study in China. Today, we see many foreigners in major cities. Even some foreigners can speak Mandarin, even playing mahjong and chess.
We can also see the spread of Chinese culture, but now when traveling in foreign countries, we also see a lot of Chinese, especially in countries such as Japan and Vietnam. We are really proud of seeing Chinese characters in other countries, but everyone has heard more or less the practice of "abolishing Chinese characters". In fact, this is a sense of identity for their own people, but if they want to completely abolish it, it is quite difficult. Among them, Vietnam began to abolish Chinese characters as early as 74 years ago, and the country began to promote the Latin alphabet at that time, what about the abolition of Chinese characters in Vietnam now
Vietnam was established as early as 1945, when Ho Chi Minh was the prime minister, and this comrade Ho Chi Minh was also a decent man during his lifetime, who knew Chinese culture very well, and he could write calligraphy in Chinese. However, after taking office, Chinese characters were abolished and Latin alphabets were used as "national language characters". However, when they canceled the Chinese characters, the Chinese laughed at this scene.
Due to some historical reasons, many generations of people in Vietnam are very ignorant of Chinese. Although they don’t write Chinese characters now, there are many There are many Chinese characters in the Vietnamese genealogy, because Chinese characters were not abolished at that time. A large number of ancient books in Vietnam are basically written in Chinese characters. This time, the people of Vietnam could not understand the content written by their ancestors and had to seek the help of Vietnamese experts to translate. In addition, there is also a local custom of pasting Spring Festival couplets in Vietnam. As a result, they use Vietnamese characters when writing Spring Festival couplets, but found that the Spring Festival couplets are very ugly and have no aesthetic feeling at all, just like "ghost paintings". In addition, the locals of Vietnam will have a huge festival every first month, and the residents of northern Vietnam will go to a place called "Then Temple" which belongs to their local area to make sacrifices. This belongs to their tradition and also to commemorate their ancestors.
However, under such a grand event, we will see a lot of Chinese characters on the torii and other places on the wall. Although it is a traditional Chinese character, it can basically be recognized for us. When praying for seals, even Chinese characters are used. Even the signs held high at the parade were written in Chinese. Some people are curious, why not use Vietnamese characters? Because of the activities of the ancestors, the ancestors were worshipped. The ancestors did not understand the characters transformed from Roman Latin characters, so they used Chinese characters to communicate with their ancestors. You may see here, I believe everyone thinks Vietnam is too humble, even if they still need Chinese characters when they worship their ancestors.
Nowadays, many Vietnamese scholars seem to be aware of the importance of Chinese and even call for the restoration of the use of Chinese characters, but it seems that It's a bit late, because Chinese is not easy to learn. Chinese culture is broad and profound, but it can be understood thoroughly in a few years. What do you think about the abolition of Vietnamese Chinese characters in Vietnam?
