New era in the computer era: mentioning pen and forgetting words

For words like “沆瀣”, “魑”, and “饕餮”, how many people can write it with a pen? According to the UN standards for illiteracy in the new century, people who cannot read literacy are called “traditional illiterate people”; while those who cannot use computers to learn, communicate and manage are also “modern illiterates”. While the popularity of computers has eliminated "modern illiteracy", it has brought about unexpected "international illiteracy" in the Internet era. The phenomenon of "picking pen and forgetting characters" has appeared in most people's lives.

It is reported that the "Chinese Proficiency Test" developed by China is considered to be "Chinese Class 46", and the "Chinese Proficiency Test" developed over the past three years will be piloted in Shanghai, Jiangsu, Yunnan, and Inner Mongolia in October this year. Can "Chinese 46" rescue the current embarrassment? Zou Shouyuan, a Chinese language teacher specializing in high school affiliated to South China Normal University, believes that through the ability test, people's attention to mother tongue can be raised to a certain extent, and the embarrassment of picking up pens and characters can be avoided. Xiong Bingqi, deputy head of the Shanghai Institute of Education in the 21st Century, raised doubts, arguing that what the government needs to do is to guide the formation of a cultural environment, pay attention to culture, encourage culture, and reorient contemporary cultural education. The current situation cannot be solved by an examination. .

Picking up the pen without feeling the keyboard to replace the pen A student in the university's Chinese student Li told reporters, “I think the computer is really important. Without it, life can't be carried out normally.” Li, a good student, often contributes to the publishing house, even He also published his own poetry collection. "I now touch the mouse every day and knock on the keyboard, otherwise I will feel that my heart is not practical," said Li.

When the reporter asked Li to write a poem on the spot, he hesitated. "Not that I didn't want to write, but after I left the computer, I sometimes felt short-circuited," said Li, reluctantly.

"Long-term use of computers and keyboards, and even simple words can not be written." He said many friends around complained to him, saying that for a long time using the computer, always mention the pen to forget the word, "until one day I suddenly After the pen was forgotten and more and more frequent, I discovered that I was one of them."

Typing with a keyboard has many benefits, such as speed and accuracy. In particular, after various input methods with strong association functions have appeared, the typing of the keyboard has become faster and easier, which is very convenient for people with high-speed rhythm.

“For example, people like us who study Chinese often need to write articles or other materials. In the process of writing, inspiration and speed are very important. But I have found that handwriting speed always influences the flow of inspiration, and often writes to a place and forgets. How to continue," said Li, "This is the main reason why I have always chosen to type on the keyboard instead of writing."

Is the elite or "traditional illiteracy"

In addition to students, the white-collar workers sitting in the office also unknowingly become the "traditional illiterate people" in the Internet age. “Because of the need for work, there is no way to leave the computer.” Miss Zhou, a white-collar worker who works at a company in Guangzhou, said that during her five years of work, she rarely wrote or wrote anything but the signature.

"It's too dependent on the computer input method." Miss Zhou said that she plans to start writing a diary in the near future. However, I found it difficult to write down a diary when she left the computer. "So I switched to a computer and wrote a diary on my blog." Ms. Zhou told reporters that she had a large amount of work every day. Writing such things as planning and writing reports needed to be completed on a regular basis. “If you use handwriting, it is not only inconvenient to save, but it will greatly reduce efficiency.” For the term “traditional illiterate people”, Miss Zhou ridiculed herself, “I feel like I’m back to the age of not writing”.

Mr. Chen, a white-collar worker who has just worked for a year, disclosed to reporters his changes in the past year. "Although I have been exposed to computers during my college days, I have to deal with computers every day except when I sleep. It is only after I work." Mr. Chen said.

When college graduates recruit, many companies require familiarity with computer operations. However, Mr. Chen, who was originally confident and confident, was already tired of using such a high-frequency computer. "The keyboard and mouse have replaced the penholder. I almost forgot what it feels like to use handwriting." Mr. Chen said that even if he mentions the pen occasionally, he will forget how to draw the next word.

In the Internet age, "modern illiteracy" gradually faded out of people's vision. However, it is erroneous that after several decades of literacy, elites have re-entered the stage as “traditional illiterate people”.

Can the Chinese 46 or No. 4 readers know that the Chinese proficiency test, which was jointly launched by the Ministry of Education and the National Language Commission, was the first in the country to comprehensively inspect, read, write, read, write, and read the Chinese language proficiency. After three years of research and development, The second half of this year will be piloted in some cities in China. "Are examinations necessary to solve the 'illiterate' problem in the Internet era?" Many people issued such questions.

Dai Jiaqian, director of the Examination Department of the Ministry of Education, believes that in recent years there have been linguistic and cultural phenomena such as “a foreign language fever, a cold Chinese language” and Europeanization of Chinese language and non-standard language in the society. The meaning of "Chinese Class 46" aims to promote the study and application of Chinese by means of examination and examination, thereby avoiding the increasingly widespread phenomenon of mentioning pen and forgetting words.

“The reason why the Chinese civilization has never ceased to exist is inseparable from the generations of mother tongue literature from generation to generation.” Dai Jiagan said, “We hope that through the implementation and promotion of the test, we can subtly improve the recognition of native speakers and the Chinese Cultural understanding."

Many people said in an interview with reporters that “the scores of the examinations do not explain all the problems and cannot solve problems in the long-term.” “If people who need a Chinese test certificate pass the exam and get a certificate, how many people will continue? Studying, not returning to the pen and forgetting the state?” Miss Zhou raised her own questions.

Education experts: It is necessary for the Chinese language test to be carried out. The mother tongue environment needs to be constructed for the promotion of "Chinese 46 grades". Teacher Zou Shouyuan, a Chinese language teacher specializing in secondary schools attached to South China Normal University, deems it necessary.

“Our current education is overemphasizing the importance of English and has caused more or less neglect of the mother tongue.” Zou said that through the ability test, people’s attention to mother tongue can be improved to a certain extent, especially in people’s After participating in the work, maintain the state of continuing learning in the mother tongue.

Xiong Bingqi, deputy director of the 21st Century Institute of Education in Shanghai, believes that the implementation of "Chinese 46" should be completed by social institutions. "What the government needs to do is to guide the formation of a cultural environment. We must pay attention to culture and encourage culture to reorient contemporary cultural education." Deputy Prof. Xiong Bingqi said that a good environment can encourage people to love Chinese characters and consciously study and learn. .
