Impressive! I can really feel her passion. The advantage she has over other native experts is she can probably make fairer comparisons and references. I hope there will be more people like her who can be a bridge between China and the west.
This English lady is a TRUE Chinese expert. Unlike so many so-called Chinese experts or specialists who don't even read Chinese History, Civilization, and Culture
Imagine if Egyptian hieroglyphs were still used today ? Well this is basically what Chinese characters are it is a continuous living language to this day !
Chinese calligraphy is one of the greatest forms of artistic expression! If you understand, you can even see the author's personality and mood from calligraphy;
As just an ordinary Chinese who focused on learning languages and taking mine for granted, I'm so impressed with Ms Kidd's deep knowledge of what I learned naturally a student it a child's sponge brain, but she equaled or bettered in a fraction of the time.
Most of the words or characters in the Chinese language evolved from drawings. Each character represents one or more meanings. In the era of typewriters, Chinese lost out to English because it was impossible for any typewriter to print Chinese characters. But technology has greatly helped the Chinese language. We can now type Chinese characters using a simple normal keyboard and print Chinse characters using a normal printer. Furthermore, if you look at the screen of your mobile phone or computer, all apps are mainly represented by icons. It looks like technology is favoring icons and characters instead of alphabetic letters. On the other hand, knowing Chinese may help in grasping science and technology.
I am Gan.. Yan in China... I am proud and fascinated about Chinese Characters too.. In my Geology a minister in the Tang I believe he standardized the Chinese character.. He is a Yan.. proud to be a Yan..
"No one's really alone, but exists in a relationship with other characters." What a wonderful way to end this exposition, with a pun on 'character' meaning the writing system but also the people whose culture and identity is so dependent on it, as well as on their relation to other human beings - inside and outside of China. So it is sad that, since this video was made, the number of people in the West studying Chinese language and writing has plummeted. This writing system could help bring the West and China closer together, just as it brought many Asian people together as she says. Sadly, our politicians lack the good will to help encourage such communication.
What does it takes to learn at Chengdu universitie? I have an MBA frim American university and live in and worked Shenzhen over 20 years. I just reired this year.
I learn Chinese character for 12 years, I still know how to read it, but already forget to write 50% of it This is the strange thing about Chinese words
China now is using simplied word which the origin was the best which containing a strong meaning within. But Taiwan is still remain the origin words 👍❤️
It can be said that Chinese is a visual language and English is a phonetic / audio language. Users can read / see Chinese more efficiently than reading / seeing English, whereas users can listen to and pronounce English more efficiently than doing so in Chinese. Drivers in a Chinese street can react faster to sign boards written in Chinese characters than those in a US street reacting to signboards written in English. On the other hand, the names of places and persons can be described efficiently in English using alphabetic letters but the Chinese names of them are clumsy and approximated, e.g. San Francisco 三藩市, Australia 澳大利亚, Kazakhstan 哈萨克斯坦.
really sorry to say but simplified characters has no feeling and richness to the characters system..... i think Chinese should learn both simplified and traditional characters
I much much prefer Simplified Characters compared to Han-dynasty Chinese characters. REASONS:- 1. Easier to READ, no need for Magnifying Glass🔬, 2. Neater, not so CLUTTERED with dozens of impossible strokes, 3. Simplified are More "WELCOMING" to Learners and Users alike, 4. Less Formidable, so ENCOURAGE Chinese language learning. No need for Tears😢😭, 5. Unless one is into Old/Ancient China or aspire to be Chinese Language EXPERT, we can learn Traditional Chinese as something Extra, an Additional Knowledge, ANSWERS to "... no feeling and richness..." A. Language is for Transmission of Knowledge and Information. Faster the better. Sentimentality, indulgence in "feeling," I suggest taking up Chinese CALLIGRAPHY, B. ANALOGY to Cakes. We only eat Rich Cakes occasionally. At normal times, usual confections suffice. In today's Modern World, where Time and Speed are valued, Simplified Chinese are the Way to Go! In Summary, your arguments simply do not hold. Again, Simplified are the Way to Go. 😀

谈字意，繁体字比简体字好得太多。现在打字比写字时间多，那么重新使用繁体字就有可能。
那么用象形文字不是更有意思？现在是21世纪了，不需要复古到19世纪以前！
屏幕刷新一幀繁體字比簡體字費電哦，即使在互聯網時代，簡體字的信息傳遞能效比也高於繁體字
發展下去，繁體字再不屬於中國大陸，屬於琉球和臺灣，將來琉球人和臺灣人會申報世界遺產，繁體字是他們祖先的文字，而不是中國大陸人的。
中文在中国历史上不断演化不断改进，从没变过，而主体都是在中国文字历史上最早的甲骨文开始，而你所说的繁体字也不过是中文演化改进过程中的一环，简体字同样属于这一环，对于中国解放后大量文盲，简体字做出了它最大的贡献，如果你要找简体字的借口来说，那繁体字同样不是中国历史上同样的文字，那么是不是可以用同样的语言来说繁体字呢？我认为不管简体字还是繁体字都是中国文字历史上不可或缺的，而且现在能看懂简体字的人都能看懂繁体字，这就是简体字最厉害的地方

4:17和这个说法恰恰相反，中国普通学生只需要学习3000多个汉字就可以读专业学术文章，如果是英语即使是词汇量过万也难读懂专业文章，比如“肿头龙”，即使不了解恐龙世界也知道这个恐龙有什么外形特点，但是英语Pachycephalosaur就不那么好理解了。
而且一俩百年后的人还不懂的是什么意思。
@@jimmielin1141 這點倒不至於。Pachycephalosaur專業人士才使用，並且會一直使用下去。只是普通人不會，也不方便使用。因為英語使用拉丁文、希臘文字根引入專業術語，非專業或特別有興趣的，只知道-saur相當於［蜥蜴］，也就是［龍］。
