“韵”染人生——声调对汉民族文化生活影响管窥

Rhyme Infiltrating the Life: A Study on the Influence of Tone on the Culture of the Han People

声调是汉藏语系语言的重要标志之一。声调不仅对汉语的发展具有深远的影响,使汉语的许多文学样式洋溢着特有的气息,更对汉语文、汉民族、汉文化的历时发展和现状产生了潜移默化的渗透和影响,使他们也“韵味十足”。声调从辨义手段到审美功能再到文化构因的不断延展的历程,体现出声调对汉语的重要作用。

As a distinguishing symbol of the languages of Sino - Tibetan, tone not only extends a far-reaching influence on the development of Chinese, makes many of its literal styles special, but helps to change and infiltrate unobtrusively and imperceptibly the historical development and present conditions of the language and culture of the Hart people, which successfully adds their lasting attraction. This paper suggests a process of Chinese in which tone has constantly taken various parts from a method of differentiating meanings, an approach to appreciating the beauty to an element of forming the culture. On this basis it discusses the significance of tone in the development of Chinese.
