The United Nations has 6 official(官方的) languages. Each of them has its own days with the aim(目标) to show the rich history and culture of each language. UNESCO first created(创造) Chinese Language Day in 2010 to celebrate Chinese as one of the six official languages of the United Nations.
The first Chinese Language Day was on November 12th. But since 2011, it has been on April 20th. The date was chosen from Guyu to remember Cang Jie. Cang Jie is very important in Chinese culture. People believed he created Chinese words 5,000 years ago. In old stories, it’s said that Cang Jie had 4 eyes and he was good at observing(观察). He often watched the sun and the moon with his upper two eyes, and mountains and rivers with the lower two eyes. His long-time observation made him create the earliest written words according to the shape of things.
On Chinese Language Day, there are different activities to celebrate the Chinese language and the theme(主题) is different each year. In 2022, “China Chic” was chosen as the theme. Chen Xu, an officer said, “Choosing this theme, we hope to spread what most of Chinese people like today so that foreigners can know more about Chinese culture and have a better understanding of China.” A video festival called “Foreigners look at China Chic” was held. In the videos, foreigners showed their love of Chinese fashion.
Chinese Language Day is an important carrier for Chinese learners, lovers, and users from all over the world to get close to Chinese. Nowadays, more than one sixth of the world’s population(人口) speak Chinese as their first language—that’s more than any other population in the world! Learning Chinese is more like a key to knowing China and feeling the beauty of Chinese culture.
