The Prospect of Chinese Characters
汉字文化的展望
In the information era, it has been very difficult for Chinese people to know how to solve the problem of Chinese characters' use in computers. As early as the end of the fifties of the 20th Century, China had begun the research work on automatic translation from Russian to Chinese in domestic computers. By the end of the sixties, Chinese telegraph encoder had been invented. In the seventies, China began to study and develop Chinese information processing technology systematically. In order to unify a standard Chinese code, the country publicized in 1980 “Domestic Standard Exchange Codes of Chinese. ” Since then the problem of Chinese characters' storage, display and printing in computers has been worked out. However, people were still confronted with the problem of how to type Chinese characters quickly into computers. Through dauntless efforts, various input methods have been invented. With the further application of such technologies as handwriting input and pronunciation input, the ancient Chinese characters have gained a second youth in today's information society and have a more promising future.
在信息时代，对于中国人如何解决中文在电脑中的使用问题是很困难的。早在20世纪50年代末，中国已开始研究在国内电脑上如何使用自动翻译把俄语和中文互译。到了六十年代末，中国发明了电报编码器。在七十年代，中国开始研究中文信息系统处理技术。为了统一标准的中国码，中国在1980年颁布“国内中文标准交换代码”。从那时起，中文的存储，显示和在电脑上打印的问题已得到解决。然而，人们仍然面临着如何迅速在计算机上打中文字的问题。经过百折不挠的努力，发明出了各种输入法。有了这种手写输入和语音输入进一步推广应用的技术，中国古代文字在当今的信息社会又获得了第二春，并会有一个更光明的未来。
