汉字与中国传统文化有着久远而密切的联系,二者之间相互依存,汉字积淀着中国文化的结晶,中国文化也靠着汉字的记录流传得更为久远。汉字的产生、发展过程,从一个侧面反映了中华民族的文化观。汉字既是汉民族文化的基本条件,又是汉民族文化复兴和现代化建设的根本性问题———这就是汉字的文化功能。 Chinese characters have a long and close relationship with Chinese traditional culture. The two are interdependent. Chinese characters are the crystallization of Chinese culture. Chinese culture is also preserved by the record of Chinese characters. The emergence and development of Chinese characters reflect the cultural outlook of the Chinese nation from one aspect. Chinese characters are not only the basic conditions of the Han nationality culture, but also the fundamental problem of the rejuvenation and modernization of the Han nationality --- this is the cultural function of the Chinese characters.
