中国汉字

汉字是从原始人用以记事的简单图画，

经过不断演变发展最终成为一种兼具音、形、

意、韵的独特文字。现存中国古代最早成熟

的文字是甲骨文，被认为是现代汉字的初形。

此后，汉字又经历了金文、隶书、楷书、草

书、行书等不同的阶段。汉字结构“内圆外

方”，源于古人“天圆地方”的观念。汉字有

五种基本笔画，即：横、竖、撇、捺、折。

Chinese characters

Chinese characters were initially

meant to be simple pictures use to help

people remember things. After a long

period of development, it finally became a

unique character system that embodies

phonetic sound, image, idea, and rhyme at

the same time. The writing system, which

was extremely advanced in ancient times,

began with inscriptions on bones and

tortoise shells, and these are regarded as

the original forms of Chinese characters.

Afterwards, Chinese characters went

through numerous calligraphic styles:

bronze inscriptions, official script, regular

script, cursive script, running script, etc.

Chinese characters are usually round

outside and square inside, which is rooted

in ancient Chinese beliefs of an orbicular

sky and a rectangular Earth. The five basic

strokes of Chinese characters are ― 一‖ (the

horizontal stroke), ― 丨‖ (the vertical

stroke), ―丿‖ (the left-falling stroke), ― 捺‖

(the right-falling stroke), and ―乙‖ (the

turning stroke).

中国筷子

中国人使用筷子就餐的方式在世界独树

一臶。有史记载用筷的历史已有三千多年。

筷子古时称为箸，它看似简单，但却同时具

有夹、拨、挑、扒、拌、撮、戳、撕等多种

功能。中国民间视筷子为吉祥之物，如婚俗

中将筷子隐喻为快生贵子的祝福等。与使用

刀叉以及手抓的方式不同， 成双结对的筷子

含有“和为贵”的意蕴。西方人赞誉筷子是

古老的东方文明。

Chinese chopsticks

The Chinese way of eating with

chopsticks is unique in the world. The

recorded history of chopsticks started more

than three thousand years ago. Chopsticks

were named zhu in ancient Chinese. They

look deceptively simple to use, but possess

multi-various functions, such as clamping,

turning over, lifting up, raking, stirring,

scooping, poking, tearing, and so on.

Chopsticks were taken as an auspicious

mascot by ordinary people in ancient

China. For example, the partial tone of

chopsticks is often used by people as a

metaphor at weddings to indicate a

blessing or benediction for the couple to

have a baby soon. Unlike using a knife and

fork or one’s own hands, a pair of

chopsticks also implies the meaning of

―Harmony is what matters‖. Chopsticks

are highly praised by westerners as a

hallmark of ancient oriental civilization.
