When we first put forward the concept of simplified pinyin, people often focus on the following questions: Is it feasible to use simplified characters instead of Pinyin letters? Is there any scientific basis?
The answer is yes!
It can be inferred and certified from the following aspects:
1. In fact, Chinese Pinyin itself also has the use of simplified characters (not only 26 letters), such as the vowel "U" or "u"; the vowel "E" or "". The other four kinds of phonetic symbols are also simple symbols added to the letters (see).
2. All characters, including Chinese characters, are essentially a symbol (character)! We have used thousands of years of Chinese characters to explore their evolution and development process, from oracle bone inscriptions to bronze inscriptions and other fonts, to traditional characters, simplified characters, in fact, is a continuous process of simplification, practicality and progress of characters.
3. The five strokes that make up today's Chinese characters are also symbols, i.e. the five kinds of symbols of "crosswise and vertical apostrophes and folds"! There are too many and complex characters in the traditional Chinese characters, so it is very difficult to learn and write. Therefore, there are relatively simple and advanced simplified characters. This shows that: how many years and generations of authentic "Chinese characters" can be simplified! And it has been simplified for a few rounds! Practice has proved that the public and society are acceptable! Simplification is also the absolute truth!
4. "Chinese Pinyin" is not a word in fact, because it is very difficult to learn Chinese characters at first, because our Chinese characters are not "phonetic characters", and Chinese characters can only express the form and meaning, so we "invented" the "Chinese Pinyin" to help Chinese characters learn! For various reasons, it seems difficult to replace Chinese characters with Pinyin to become advanced phonetic characters. The current function can only be used as an auxiliary tool for learning Chinese characters.
5. Chinese characters are difficult to learn. In fact, "Chinese Pinyin" is not easy to learn. Pinyin letters are all borrowed from 26 Latin letters, because at most 26 letters (not enough) lead to so many problems in "Chinese Pinyin".
Then, we really want to learn to use "Chinese characters" can be simplified, as an auxiliary learning "Chinese Pinyin" can also be simplified, first to reduce the difficulty of learning this auxiliary tool, the reason is logical! Also believe that the public and society are acceptable and even very welcome!
6. It is generally acknowledged that the same symbol can express different meanings. As far as the simplified character "-" (one) is concerned (instead of i), it can also be used in other occasions to express strokes: horizontal; to indicate dashes, minus signs, minus signs, underscores, deletion lines, and reduced font size........................................ So it's perfectly reasonable to use other abbreviations as well! ___________
7. The introduction of some simplified characters to replace some phonological letters is actually a simplification. The simplified phonetic alphabet has become a binary form of the original letters and a few abbreviations. This binary or multivariate form of symbols is almost universal in all languages. For example: Japanese characters are composed of two sets of symbols: Chinese characters and kana; and Korean, Vietnamese, French, Russian and other characters have both letters and symbols!
