Suggestions on standardizing the use of words on the street

In your spare time, you can find Chinese characters everywhere when strolling in the streets and alleys, but if you look carefully, you will see the names of shops, slogans, and plaques on the streets. They are not all uniform. Some are simplified characters, some are traditional characters, some are uncommon characters, and some even have typos...all kinds and uneven. This is all because a considerable number of people do not pay enough attention to standardizing street vocabulary and the relevant departments are not strict in discipline, making this phenomenon more and more serious.

I think that the irregular use of words cannot be ignored. For example, some write the word "crab" for crab as "scale"; some write the word "xiao" for midnight snack as "xiao"; Write the "LAN" of orchid as "LAN", etc. These words have brought more or less influence to us. The primary school students who have just entered school do not have a deep grasp of the Chinese language. After being exposed to these irregular words, over time, they will "replace the right with the wrong". This is so inappropriate. ! Nowadays, my hometown Foshan is very busy in preparation for the Provincial Games, building roads, building gymnasiums, improving greening, etc. But we should also focus on the small culture on the streets. These small things can also reflect the face of Foshan. To this end: I make the following suggestions:

1. The industrial and commercial departments must strictly manage the approval of house numbers, because this is the source of irregular wording on the streets and must be eliminated first.

2. Relevant departments should conduct frequent inspections to prevent "fish that slip through the net" and make the words used on the street uniform and standardized.

3. Promote the importance of standardizing street language through the media and enhance the awareness of citizens.

4. Citizens should exercise self-discipline, especially some politicians and celebrities. When they write inscriptions or plaques for commercial buildings or companies, they should not express what they think are "words" on the grounds of habit. The "word". If everyone does his or her part, irregular words will be greatly reduced.

5. Warnings will be issued for shop terms that are not standardized enough, and appropriate penalties will be imposed on those who refuse to change despite repeated admonitions.

6. Schools should organize more such meaningful comprehensive practical activities to let the flowers of the motherland understand this aspect from an early age and raise their awareness.

As the hometown of Foshan, the third largest city in Guangdong Province, the economy and tourism industry are constantly developing. To give Foshan a good impression on tourists from all over the world, it not only needs "high buildings and wide roads", but also Starting from the small characters on the street, this reflects the cultural education of Foshan. Maybe what I provided is not comprehensive, but this is the sincere advice of a middle school student! I hope Foshan can do better and better in regulating the use of words on the streets!

Yangzhou is an ancient cultural city. It is famous for its profound cultural accumulation and The beautiful and beautiful scenery is famous in China. After winning the "Best Habitat Award" from the United Nations in 2006, it has become a paradise on earth that many foreign tourists yearn for.

However, at present, many small shops on the streets of Yangzhou have many aliases on their signboards, which makes people both laughable and sad. It really insults the title of Yangzhou’s ancient civilized city. For example, the "all" of "a certain furniture store" should be "furniture", the "image" of "a certain photo studio" should be "phase", the "certain decoration company" should be "decoration company", and the "certain Youqi shop" should be "a certain decoration company". "should be "paint". There is also a hair salon that chooses the traditional Chinese character "hair salon" to show off, but it should actually be "hair salon". Not only is there a problem with the signboards, but also the small advertisements created by many small shops are full of different words. Write "retail" as "sold separately", "cantaloupe" as "cantaloupe", and "casserole" as "casserole".

The use of Chinese characters and pinyin characters must be correct and standardized, and comply with the standards stipulated in the "National Common Spoken and Written Language Law".

The characters used on the street must be in good shape, and there must be no broken characters or missing characters. Simplified traditional Chinese characters, eliminated variant characters, and old Chinese characters must not be used. The abolished "Second Chinese Character Simplification Plan (Draft)" must not be used. Simplified characters, self-made simplified characters and typos are not allowed. Among them, in 8 cases, such as registered trademark stereotypes and special circumstances approved by relevant departments of the State Council, and with relevant certification materials, traditional Chinese characters and variant characters can be retained or used. We believe that:

1. The correct and standardized use of language and characters on urban streets directly reflects the cultural taste of the city. Some traditional Chinese characters, variant characters and simplified characters that have been eliminated are still used frequently, which makes a joke. Typos, variant characters, and damaged characters not only damage the image of the city, but also mislead primary and secondary school students. Students often suffer from typos on the street, such as "LANQUU". Not only on the street, but also on TV, there are many other words, and some commercial advertisements deliberately use homophones to create ideas, such as "riding has endless fun" and "eating wholesome food", which also greatly misleads children and affects their ability to master correct knowledge. Knowledge.

2. The words used in public facilities, signboards, advertisements, names of enterprises and institutions, etc. must all use standardized words. Traditional Chinese characters are only used on some special occasions, such as books related to ancient Chinese, classical literature, history, archeology, ancient literature and other courses, calligraphy and art works, registered trademarks, promotion of Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macao, etc. Traditional Chinese characters are protected as cultural heritage and are allowed to exist in certain fields and specific regions.

3. City managers should strengthen the supervision and management of street language and characters, and correct missing and damaged characters as soon as possible. At the same time, merchants must also be self-disciplined and try to prevent the use of typographical errors and irregular words.

IV. On January 1, 2001, the "National Standard Spoken and Written Language Law" promulgated and implemented in our country clearly stipulates that facilities, signboards, and advertising words in urban public places violate the relevant provisions of this law. The relevant administrative departments shall order corrections; those who refuse to make corrections shall be given a warning and urged to make corrections within a time limit. It is recommended that relevant departments jointly carry out special rectification activities, organize teachers and students in primary and secondary schools within their jurisdiction to carry out the "Woodpecker" operation, and conduct a census of irregular social word usage such as irregular traditional Chinese characters, typos, variant characters, incomplete glyphs, etc. in the main streets and road sections of our city. , Registration, especially for the wordings used on house signs, billboards, slogans of shops facing the street, wordings used on unit nameplates, store nameplates, signs, promotional posters, windows, banners, light boxes, billboards, neon lights, electronic display boards, traffic Irregular use of words in advertising media such as tools. The main irregularities in the use of characters are concentrated in traditional Chinese characters and typos. Shops that use irregular words will immediately make corrections on their own; if they do not make corrections, the municipal and district education, industry and commerce, and urban management departments will jointly issue a notice of correction within a time limit; if they still do not make corrections within the time limit, they will be punished according to the "National Standard Spoken and Written Language Law" and other relevant laws. , laws and regulations impose penalties.
