What does circle in Jane mean, exactly as follows:
I'm not in a position to read paperbacks right now, I basically read electronic versions on my computer, and the thing I hate most about it is the vertically lined up traditional characters. Traditional characters are implicated in this sentence simply because simplified characters are never vertically lined up.
Suddenly I remembered the term "Simplified Chinese Character Circle", which is a term that some very superior "intellectuals" like to say, which probably means that the people who write Simplified Chinese characters are not high in culture, knowledge and worldview, and they are very backward and not progressive.
There used to be some of these in my circle of friends, and they couldn't get away from mocking the words "Simplified Chinese circle", and the funny thing is that they didn't even type the words "Despise Simplified Chinese circle", they typed the words in Simplified Chinese.
It is very likely that they do not recognize all the traditional Chinese characters, and when they talk about what I know (and what I don't), it is obvious that they are talking nonsense, but the wording is very firm, and there is no room for argument, as if they were judges deciding a case. If you disagree, you are in contempt of court.
Professionally speaking, I really don't understand what the advantages and disadvantages of traditional and simplified characters are in terms of practical use. The essence of writing is to create a symbol to record language, and I really don't see no difference between traditional and simplified in their function of recording language.
I have also seen some people who ridicule simplified Chinese say that we should abolish the hieroglyphic characters and use pinyin instead in order to be in line with the world. It makes me even more skeptical that I don't have a thorough understanding of the profession. Wouldn't hanyu pinyin be a more serious impediment to reading efficiency?
I have always thought that simple Chinese is convenient, in the case of not much damage to the degree of distinction, greatly improve the efficiency of writing. Okay, I'm uneducated, pro-Jane Chinese, Jane Chinese.
That said, a certain type of "progressive intellectual" has become a purely pejorative term with me. Most of them are unscrupulous, unethical and shameless, pretending to be morally forced, pretending to be clean, pretending to be a saintly mother and father. Over the past year, I have watched extensively the opinions of some "progressive" commentators at home and abroad, many of whom are professional scholars, and I feel that my intelligence has been seriously insulted. Their predictions about current events are rarely not slapped in the face by reality, but they never admit to being wrong.
They are well aware of how stupid their believers are, each with only a seven-second memory. The last hoax is quickly forgotten and one can immediately move on to the next one. I sometimes even wonder if the study of political science, international relations and the like are considered real studies or not. The opinions and predictions of those so-called experts are not only worthless, they are not even comparable to the intuition of ordinary normal people.
As a person with a brain, I feel that not pandering to power is the lowest requirement, and those who can't even do that need not say anything. For the rest, I think not pandering to the "mainstream" or to "progressive intellectuals" is a higher requirement, and in this regard, not many people can pass. Basically, they are all dancing the square dance of "progress" and smugly falling into the cesspool.
But the scariest thing is, after the sound of the poof, only to see their hands climbed up to the edge of the pit, and quickly climbed up, not caring about all the feces and water dripping, and quickly embraced together, stepping on the beat of progress, dancing their square dance.
