談現代漢字研究與教學中的「記號字」

The Study of Chinese Characters and the Notations in Teaching

傳統分析漢字，都是依據六書，或六書的改造系統，因為這樣的系統最能表現出漢字的特色。大陸實施漢字簡化以後，簡化字中的「記號」增加了，於是現代漢字研究與教學開始放棄六書系統，改用字符分析，即以「音符、意符、記號」來分析漢字的結構，結果是「記號字」大量增加，降低了漢字的特質。其實漢字中的記號，仍可歸入「指事」類，現代漢字研究與教學仍應採用六書類的系統來分析漢字結構，以凸顯漢字的表意特質。同時，為了降低漢字中所謂的「記號」，維持漢字的優越性，大陸有關單位應該認真考慮恢復傳統漢字的開放自由使用。

For displaying the characteristic of Chinese characters, we always analyze Chinese characters according to the six categories of Chinese characters. After China turned to use simplified Chinese, the notations has been increased. Therefore, people started to analyze Chinese characters according to the notations instead of the six categories of Chinese characters. In other words, people turned to analyze Chinese characters according to the note, the signifier and the notations. But it caused that the number of the notations has been increased a lot, and decreased the characteristic of Chinese characters.In fact, the notations still can be classified to ideographic characters. To show the characteristic of Chinese characters and to decrease the notations of Chinese characters, we still should rest on the six categories of Chinese characters to analyze Chinese characters. The government departments of China should think about reinstating using traditional Chinese characters.
