Chinanews, Beijing, Sept. 6 – China is a nation with a rich culture in calligraphy. Even if computer is widely used today, Chinese people should not forget the skill of writing with hands, said Zhao Qinping, Vice Minister of Education and director of the National Language Committee.Nowadays, computer has become a very useful tool to help people to write. As people use computers more often than before, many people have forgotten how to WRITE Chinese characters. People often make a lot of mistakes in writing, he said.At present, China is trying to help pupils and teachers to improve their writing with the help of information technology. With the technology, it is hoped that teachers can write their teaching contents on the blackboard and students can respond by writing, too, Zhao said.The Chinese characters application test shows that nowadays, many college students' handwritings have become worse. Many college students do not know how to compose words or sentences in Chinese characters correctly. Kids do not know how to write a Chinese character with every stroke being written in the right way. Not only kids, many adults also have encountered the same problem. They might be able to tell the general form of a certain character; however, if you ask them to spell out the character in detail, they can't. On the other hand, they can easily type out the character on a computer, said Wang Dengfeng, deputy director of the National Language Committee.In national language teaching course, we can solve this problem with the application of certain technologies. Actually, apart from technology, there is a lot that we can do. For example, we may ask pupils to finish their homework by writing with hands instead of typing, Wang said.
