"After the founding of new China, to build a modern State, but 85% of the people are illiterate, so the concept of the work of the Committee was important. "Zhou Youguang was in memory of the Liwa--huadongshida dictating recall from economics to the linguistics of" change "," I said the word Linguistics I was an amateur, I said I am layman, no. They said it was a new thing, we are amateurs. I would have transferred, and not related to economics, and full text. ”

According to Beijing, the Graduate School of the Chinese Academy of social sciences, an interview with Professor Zhang Sengen, Zhou Youguang has joked he is Professor of Economics at the age of 50 will be diverted to engage in language study, "the former is halfway, which is halfway decent, the two ' half ' the word together, is a circle, a ' zero '. In fact, success in his academic career, achievements and accomplishments, achieve a near-perfect state. ”

In 1991, Zhou will also study the phonetic and text transferred to the exploration of issues such as culture, times change. Zhang Sengen, said Zhou published more than 40 books so far, and about half are done after retirement. "In addition to the contribution of Hanyu Pinyin, Zhou Lao created, studied philology and study of modern Chinese character information processing and academic achievements of non-encoding input method will exert a profound influence".

"Chinese modernization is the core of Mr Zhou Chinese, Hanyu Pinyin is the important part. "Peking University Chinese Department Professor Su peicheng had in Zhou Youguang Mr on China language modern of contribution a paper in the memories himself reading Shi had listening to week has light taught" characters reform ", and from Hanyu Pinyin research, and China language modern research, and compared text learn research, and modern culture research four a aspects discusses Zhou Youguang on China language modern of contribution," Zhou Youguang Mr is well versed in of University who, is China language modern theory of founder. ”

Member of the China writers ' Association, the old rattan chair and slowly shake: Zhou youguang and his era of Jin Yuliang has described Zhou youguang, author: "after he (the reform work Conference of Chinese literature) were ordered to be diverted, engage in reform efforts. He is the main maker of modern Chinese phonetic alphabet and developed under the auspices of basic rules of Hanyu Pinyin; his diminishing rate of Chinese characters, effective table of Chinese phonetic sounds, described finishing the four Chinese characters (setting, tuning, sequencing, quantitative) principles for the outstanding contribution of Chinese modernization. Today, pinyin has become the international standard of spelling Chinese, he is known as China's ' father of the Chinese phonetic alphabet ' is well deserved. ”

Jin Yuliang times suggest that Mr Zhou wrote an autobiography, but he said modestly: "I have nothing to write, my life is very simple. I'm not a social activist, not a politician. I am a professional, just dive into the economy in the past, was engaged in language. Only professional people to read my stuff, I. At the age of 85 after writing essays, and many people like it. ”

The morning of January 14, Mr Zhou Youguang 112 birthday the next day, some experts and scholars held large occult Bookstore in Shanghai for his birthday Symposium. At that time, weeks old news of the death came not, scholars have memories and their communication process. Thought he was born from the Qing dynasty to the present across four experiences called in the age of legends.

East China Normal University Professor Xu Jilin 20 years old when I first saw weeks old. Best when he has a middle school student called Zhou-uncle, in 1978, he and the students went to see the old. Xu Jilin only 20 year old college student at that time, "weeks old that year, 72 years old, I am 60, he is still alive, the old people quite inspirational to us, we want to live life to the old. ”

Xu Jilin recalled Zhou life history, referring to this year there is a significant "Centennial", is the new literary movement 100 years ago, "enlightenment actually 100 years ago, today many areas did not last. But there is a goal with less than 10 rapid success, is the vernacular movement. Vernacular Chinese but now we can say, to understand, is the need to use another tool, is phonetic, so laying the whole pattern of vernacular movement 100 years, and Ruby are inseparable. It is hard to imagine, if there is no phonetic, it's really hard to let China, even when the people in the world speak Chinese, in the same language, it is difficult to learn. ”

Now enter the new era of artificial intelligence, Xu Jilin think Zhou Youguang contribution in Hanyu Pinyin is not outdated, but at this point has only just begun. "From language point of view, if there is no phonetic, Chinese can hardly enter this era. In this way understood, weeks old have left us with such an important contribution, may in the future, will be more important. ”

“汉语拼音之父”周有光去世，曾参与设计汉语拼音方案 - 汉语拼音,周有光 - IT资讯

1月14日，中国著名语言学家、“汉语拼音之父”周有光去世，享年112岁。对于这一消息，后浪出版公司和人民文学出版社予以确认。

周有光于1906年1月13日出生于江苏常州一个没落的士坤之家，就读于上海圣约翰大学、光华大学。1949年5月，周有光回国供职于上海金融界和经济学界。曾在复旦大学教经济学。50岁之后，他转而从事语言文字研究，进入中国文字改革委员会，主持制订了《汉语拼音正词法基本规则》，被人们尊称为“汉语拼音之父”。就在昨天，周有光先生刚刚过了112岁生日。

周老被称为“中国思想启蒙史上的传世之作”的三部杂文集《百岁新稿》《朝闻道集》和《拾贝集》，还是在他95岁、104岁和105岁高龄时出版的。

“新中国成立后，要建设一个现代国家，可是85%的人都是文盲，所以文字改革委员会的工作很重要。”周有光曾在《丽娃记忆——华东师大口述实录》中回忆自己从经济学到语言学的“转变”，“我当时就说这个文字语言学我是业余搞的，我说我是外行，不行的。他们说这是个新的事情，大家都是外行。我就调过来了，和经济学没有关系了，完全搞语言文字学了。”

据中新网对中国社科院研究生院教授张森根的采访，周有光曾戏言自己50岁起由经济学教授改行从事语言文字学研究，“前者是半途而废，后者是半路出家，两个‘半’字合在一起，就是个圆圈，一个‘零’字。事实上，他在学术生涯中所获得的成功、成就和成绩，达到了近乎圆满的境界。”

1991年，周有光还将研究从拼音、文字等转移到对文化学、时代变化等问题的探索。张森根称，周有光迄今为止出版的40多本著作中，约有一大半是在退休之后完成的。“除了对汉语拼音的贡献，周老在创建现代汉字学、研究比较文字学以及研究中文信息处理和无编码输入法方面的学术成就都具有深远的影响”。

“中国语文现代化是周先生语文研究的核心，汉语拼音是其中的重要部分。”北京大学中文系教授苏培成曾在《周有光先生对中国语言现代化的贡献》一文中回忆自己读书时曾听周有光讲授“汉字改革”，并从汉语拼音研究、中国语文现代化研究、比较文字学研究、现代文化研究四个方面论述周有光对中国语言现代化的贡献，“周有光先生是学贯中西的大学者，是中国语文现代化理论的奠基人。”

中国作家协会会员、《老藤椅慢慢摇：周有光和他的时代》作者金玉良也曾如此描述周有光：“他会后（中国文学改革工作会议）奉命改行，从事文字改革工作。他是现代汉语拼音方案的主要制定者，并主持制定汉语拼音正词法基本规则；他提出的汉字效用递减率，汉字声旁的有效表音律，阐述整理汉字的四定（定形、定音、定序、定量）原则，为汉语的现代化做出突出贡献。今天，拼音已经成为拼写汉语的国际标准，他被誉为中国‘汉语拼音之父’当之无愧。”

金玉良几次建议周先生写自传，但他都谦虚地说：“我没什么可以写的，我的生活经历很简单。我不是社会活动家，更不是政治家。我是专业工作者，过去只钻研经济，后来搞语言文字。只有搞专业的人看我的东西，知道我。到了八十五岁以后写杂文，才有许多人喜欢。”

1月14日上午，周有光先生112岁生日次日，部分专家学者在上海大隐书局为他举行了生日座谈会。当时，周老去世的消息还未传来，与会学者纷纷回忆与其交往过程。认为他从清朝出生到现在横跨四个时代的经历堪称传奇。

华东师范大学教授许纪霖20岁时候第一次见到周老。当时他有个中学最要好的同学叫周老师舅公，1978年，他就和这位同学去看望了周老。那时候许纪霖只是20岁的大学生，“周老那年72岁，我今年整60，他还健在，这个对我们老人来说蛮励志的，我们要向周老一样活着。”

许纪霖回顾周有光生活的百年历程，提到今年还有一个重要的“百年纪念”，就是新文学运动100年，“实际上100年前的启蒙运动，今天来看很多方面的目标都没有最后实现。但是有一个目标用了不到10年就迅速成功，就是白话文运动。但是现在白话文大家能够说，能够听得懂，是需要借助另外一个工具，就是拼音，所以白话文运动一百年来奠定的整个格局，和拼音是分不开的。你很难想象，如果没有这样的拼音，很难能够让全中国、甚至全世界的人在讲汉语的时候，都用同样一种语言，那很难学。”

如今进入到人工智能的新时代，许纪霖认为周有光在汉语拼音上的贡献并不落伍，反而在这个起点上才刚刚开始。“从语言上来说，如果没有拼音，汉语就很难进入这个时代。从这个意义上来理解，周老给我们留下了这样一个重要的贡献，可能在未来世界，会更加重要。”
