Analyzing of Chinese Character Form Database (CCFD) and the Study of CCFD

Abstract

After the combination of the study of Chinese character and the computer information science, Chinese Character Form Database (CCFD) has been a new thing, which can meet the objective requirement of the current collecting and research work for Chinese character. CCFD is an important foundation of modernization and informatization of Chinese character. The Study of CCFD is an interdisciplinary subject, based on theoretical and practical researches, and the study of CCFD can provide a powerful theoretical weapon for the collecting and the research of Chinese character in the information era. At present, the hypostatic construction of CCFD and the systematic research of the study of CCFD are still in the primary stage, but there will be a promising and significant development in the future. The 21st century is the information age and Big Data era. Language and script are the two most important information carriers. Language informatization is the basis of the informatization of the whole society. By the means of information, the systematic, comprehensive and in-depth study of Chinese and Chinese character is necessary for China to be in an invincible position in the 21st century. Innovation is the life of academic scholarship, and academic development is inseparable from the use of new methods and new techniques. In the past 20 years, with the gradual popularization of computers, computer technology has been applied to study Chinese character and gotten a lot of theoretical and practical results; Chinese information processing has become a core area in the current study of Chinese and Chinese character. However, comparing with the mature Chinese corpus and Chinese corpus linguistics, it is still relatively weak to collect and study Chinese character by computer technology and fall far behind the objective requirements of character collection normative work. To change this situation, we must use Chinese Character Form Database (CCFD), and establish a new discipline—the study of CCFD as soon as possible to guide practical work of Chinese character collecting and research.
