Nowadays, people heavily depend on electronic input in daily life. Typing or texting is taking the place of the strokes of Chinese characters. For this reason, people are paying less attention to handwriting. As a result, they can't even remember exactly how to write a certain character sometimes. This is called “character amnesia（遗忘症）”.
To change the situation, the TV programme named “Chinese Character Dictation（听写）Competition” came out. It quickly caught wide public attention. Meng Man, who teaches at Minzu University of China, took part in the competition as a judge（裁判）. “I was surprised by some competitors because I couldn't even remember how to write certain characters, but they could,” she said. “Now many adults have trouble writing Chinese characters. The programme is really great, since it draws people's attention to this problem.”
When typing or texting, most people use a system where they type out the pinyin of a character and then get a list of all possible Chinese characters. They just need to choose the one they want from the list. The bad thing about the system is that people fail to think about how Chinese characters are formed.
“Chinese characters are usually square. These special forms carry rich cultural stories. They teach people to be upright（正直的）. Typing or texting will influence people's understanding of the traditional culture behind the Chinese characters,” Meng said. “We should value and pass down this ancient treasure.”
To solve the problem of “character amnesia”, experts suggest that people change their mobile phone texting way from pinyin to handwriting. Daily writing practice can effectively keep memory fresh. In this way, they can avoid forgetting how to write characters.
