在风云变幻的国际舞台上，国与国之间的竞争不再局限于昔日经济、政治等“硬实力”，而今大国“软实力”的分量似乎更重。软实力主要包括民族文化的影响力、国民精神风貌、思想素质，而民族文化影响力尤为重要。 In the ever-changing international arena, the competition among countries is no longer limited to the "hard power" of economy and politics in the past, but the "soft power" of today's great powers seems to be more important. Soft power mainly includes the influence of national culture, national spirit and ideological quality, and the influence of national culture is particularly important. 作为民族文化的载体———母语是民族的生存发展之根。如果一个民族不重视它的母语文化，势必会走下坡路，至少经济社会发展潜伏着危机。在英语大行其道的今天，我们疯狂地学英语，却淡漠甚至抛弃了自己的母语：汉语。如今毛笔大概成“稀有之物”了，拿过毛笔的人很少，会写毛笔字的更是寥寥无几。而日本人却规定每周一次毛笔字课，我们不反省一下，就这样看着汉文化衰落，对得起“炎黄子孙”这个称呼吗？ As the carrier of national culture, mother tongue is the root of national survival and development. If a nation doesn't pay attention to its mother tongue culture, it is bound to go downhill, at least there is a potential crisis in economic and social development. Today, when English is popular, we study English crazily, but we even abandon our native language: Chinese. Nowadays, the brush is probably a "rare thing", few people have taken the brush, and few can write the brush. But the Japanese stipulate that we should take a calligraphy class once a week. Let's not introspect. Can we afford the title of "descendants of the Chinese people" when we see the decline of Chinese culture? |
