答案 Importance Should Be Attached to Chinese Handwriting Nowadays an increasing number of people are using computers to write emails and cell phones to send text messages. As a result, it has become more and more difficult for many of them to write Chinese characters properly. There is a growing concern that modern communication devices are threatening the Chinese handwriting tradition that is a characteristic of Chinese culture and civilization. As far as I am concerned, greater importance should be attached to Chinese handwriting. To begin with, Chinese handwriting carries the beauty of Chinese culture. As one famous Chinese professor stated: "One can only appreciate the beauty of ancient Chinese literature through the complex Chinese characters". That is to say, the complex Chinese characters are the manifestation of traditional Chinese aesthetics. Different from other languages, Chinese characters are composed of strokes which carry so much information, such as the delicacy, diversity and diligence which are regarded as reflections of Chinese culture and personality. To many foreigners who are fascinated with Chinese culture, one of the most important lessons in China is learning to write Chinese characters, which to them is such an entity of charm and mystery. Thus to promote Chinese handwriting is to preserve the national culture. Secondly, people need be reminded of the essence of their cultural heritage by attaching greater importance to Chinese handwriting. Despite the introduction of modernization brought by cell phones or computers, our ancestors* heritage root should never be forgotten. Fortunately, some actions have been taken recently in China. In order to rescue the tradition, a letter writing campaign has begun. Aiming to encourage people to send more handwritten letters, campaign organizers have established the first letter museum in China and their efforts have encouraged people to pay much more attention to Chinese handwriting which before, to some extent, was ignored. Thirdly, to advocate Chinese handwriting is to improve one’s health. It is well known that health problems may occur as a result of the repetition of hand movements and forcefulness on a keyboard. According to a survey conducted by a hospital in China, nearly 80% of computer users have suffered at least once from strained wrist and back caused by typing. In addition, frequent contact with computers or cell phones exerts a higher risk on one’s sight level and immune system which caused by radiation from the equipment. Therefore handwriting is obviously a safer way to communicate. In conclusion, with a long and splendid history, Chinese characters play a unique role in preserving the national identity. People should attach greater importance to Chinese handwriting, so as not to lose the beauty of this art of Chinese culture and civilization.
