论表意汉字在文化记忆的保存与传承中的影响

作为表意体系的文字,汉字始终保持着与汉语早期的联系,没有走向跨语言发展的道路,这与中国哲学重直观、重整体的思维特点密切相关。汉字字形承载着丰富的文化信息,虽经历久远却影响着人们的日常生活,逐渐发展演变成为民族的历史记忆。作为一种社会凝聚性结构,汉字通过其形体所承载的信息构建出一种文化信息空间。在这样的文化空间中,人们共享象征意义体系,并且接受具有趋同行为模式的影响,从而实现文化记忆的现时化,这对增强华夏民族的文化认同,提升国家凝聚力具有重要意义。

On the Influence of Ideographic Chinese Characters in the Preservation and Inheritance of Cultural Memory

As an ideographic system of characters, Chinese characters have always maintained the connection with the early Chinese language, and have not gone the way of cross-language development, which is closely related to the thinking characteristics of Chinese philosophy, attaching importance to perceptual intuition and integrity. Chinese characters, bearing rich cultural information, have a long history but influence people''s daily life, and gradually develop into the historical memory of the nation. As a social cohesive structure, Chinese characters construct a cultural information space through the information carried by their forms. In such cultural space, people share the symbolic meaning system and accept the influence of the convergent behavior pattern, so as to realize the modernization of cultural memory, which is of great significance to enhance the cultural identity of the Chinese nation and enhance the national cohesion.
