To promote the popularity of historical and cultural knowledge of Chinese characters, an online program has been launched by Beihang University and Beijing Normal University to explain Chinese characters' original meanings and evolution processes with vivid and expressive animation videos. Currently, More than 1,000 videos can be accessed through the website “http://www.chinesecharacter.org/”. Besides these online resources, a human-computer interaction system is also proposed to simulate clerical changes of Chinese characters through computer morphing technology. What we want is to make the teaching and learning of Chinese characters more reasonable, more easily understandable and more interesting.展开更多

Numerous studies have utilized alphabetic writing for subject matter. However, few have addressed visual processing of Chinese characters in the left midfusiform gyrus. OBJECTIVE: To verify visual processing of Chinese characters and images in the left midfusiform gyrus using functional magnetic resonance imaging. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: A blocked design paradigm study. Experiments were performed at the Room of Magnetic Resonance, Guangdong Provincial Second People's Hospital, China from May to June 2009. PARTICIPANTS: A total of eight undergraduate students were recruited from Guangzhou University of China, comprising two females and six males, aged 20-23 years. The subjects were right-handed which was determined by a Chinese standard questionnaire. None of the subjects had a history of psychoneurosis, familial disease, color blindness, or color weakness. METHODS: A total of eight undergraduates were enrolled as subjects. Picture-naming and verb generation tasks were employed through the use of functional magnetic resonance imaging. Analysis of Functional Neurolmages software was used to process the data. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Visual processing of Chinese characters and images in the left midfusiform gyrus was measured. RESULTS: Picture-naming and verb generation tasks were shown to significantly activate the bilateral midfusiform gyrus. Activation occurred in the visual word form area of the left midfusiform gyrus. CONCLUSION: The left midfusiform gyrus plays a general role in visual processing of Chinese characters and images.展开更多

Modern Chinese literature starts with the linguistic transformation of the May Fourth Movement's rejection of classical Chinese and promotion of the vernacular. This language revolution and the transformation of literary language during each subsequent historical period have exerted a profound influence on the overall development of modern Chinese literature, including literary forms, and hence have become an inner source of the development and evolution of modern Chinese literary forms and of the shaping of their main characteristics. An in-depth discussion of the interaction between linguistic transformation and the development of modem Chinese literary forms as well as the roles governing this process will not only disclose the universal linguistic context of literary creation created by the transformation of language but will also enable us to find the historical sources of the phenomena of literary genres and forms, writers' choice of literary styles, the formal characteristics of literary works, etc., and will offer a correct explanation and evaluation of the May Fourth vernacular movement and the subsequent series of new literary forms andstyles. This is instrumental to achieving a better summation of the experience and lessons of the development of modem Chinese literary forms and to finding historical clues to the development of our present-day literary forms.展开更多

SAMis excelIent as a model for generating Chinese characters, but it is difficult todetermine appropriate parameters because the use of calligraphic knowledge isneeded. By noticing that calligraphic knowledge of calligraphists is includedin their corrective actions, we adopt a strategy to acquire calligraphic knowl-edge by monitoring, recording and analyzing corrective actions of calligraphists,and try to realize an environment under which calligraphists can easily makecorrections to character forms and which can record corrective actions of cal-ligraphists without interfering with them. In this paper, we first construct amodel of correcting procedurcs of calligraphists, which is composed of typicalcorrecting procedures that are acquired by extensively observing their correc-tive actions and interviewing them, and develop a form-correcting system forbrush-written Chinese characters by using the model. Secondly, through actualcorrecting experiments, we demonstrate that parameters within SAM can beeasily corrected at the level of character patterns by our system, and show thatit is effective and easy for calligraphists to be used by evaluating effectivenessof the correcting model, sufficiency of its functions and execution speed.展开更多
