Vol 2 Chapter 246: , The advantages and disadvantages of Chinese

Wang Zhengyang accompanied Qin Yi to the institute and talked about the Chinese operating system and Chinese programming. His eyebrows were frowned.
"Although the Chinese operating system and Chinese programming are an old topic, there are many predecessors studying this, but we have not made any progress. You should not be too anxious. Carefully clarify your thoughts. The solution is more difficult many."
Qin Yi smiled and comforted.
Chinese programming and Chinese operating systems are nothing new. Since computers were introduced to our country, some people in our country have studied this Chinese operating system and Chinese programming.
The reason is very simple, because Chinese is our mother tongue, and we do not only live in our daily lives, but also use Chinese in our work. Almost everything in the computer field is related to English. The foundation and framework are based on English. .
This is very detrimental to the development of computer technology and the Internet industry in our country. If we can use Chinese to program and construct Chinese operations, it will be very helpful to the development of the computer and Internet industry in our country.
However, the study of Chinese programming and Chinese operating systems can be described as extremely bumpy and extremely difficult.
From the beginning, just to study a Chinese input method, a lot of researchers and scientists were convened in the country to study it carefully.
Because Chinese and English are two completely different languages, the differences between them are really too great.
Chinese belongs to the Sino-Tibetan sequence, which is derived from the earliest hieroglyphs; English belongs to the Indo-European sequence, consisting of 26 letters derived from the Latin alphabet.
Because of the huge differences between the two languages, when computers and the Internet just spread to our country, we entered Chinese characters into the computer very slowly, and we had to rely on Pinyin letters to enter Chinese characters.
Later, after hard research by scientists and researchers, the Wubi input method was invented, and the speed of inputting Chinese characters soared. Then, as more and more people studied the input method, various intelligent input methods appeared one after another, and Chinese input The problem was solved very well.
However, the research on Chinese programming and Chinese operating system has never been any substantial breakthrough. At present, all the mainstream and most widely used programming software in the world is English software.
As for the operating system, that's the world of English. Whether it's Microsoft's Windows system or Apple's system, that's also an operating system based on English.
A lot of investment has been made in this area, but there have been many substantive breakthroughs, so that some people even blame the Chinese language.
I believe that Chinese is an inferior language and cannot adapt to the development of the trend of the times. The country should completely eliminate Chinese and learn from India to change the official language to English so that it can better integrate with the world and keep up with the development of the trend of the times.
Of course, this ridiculous statement of deliberately degrading yourself and elevating others is not self-defeating. With the advent of smart phones, everyone suddenly found that entering nine words on the phone is enough for Chinese. Speed Very fast, but typing in English is very slow and very prone to errors.
As a result, when it comes to English input, everyone has a tendency to learn from Chinese and use a more concise way to express meaning.
"I'm not too anxious, but there has been no progress and the whole person is very irritable."
After hearing Qin Yi's words of comfort, Wang Zhengyang smiled slightly.
Being able to enter the Xinghe Institute of Science and Technology, his salary is very good, and a well-off and prosperous life is completely free of any problems, and there is nothing to worry about in life.
But for this job, studying Chinese programming and Chinese operating system, without any progress for a long time, the whole person became very irritable and even wanted to resign.
"Tell me, what are the problems in Chinese programming and Chinese operating system?"
Qin Yi smiled. In fact, Qin Yi knew a bit about Chinese programming and the Chinese operating system. He also studied and researched seriously.
In the science and technology tower, Qin Yi also carefully studied the languages ​​and characters of many civilizations in the universe, found many languages ​​similar to Chinese, and carefully studied their computer operating systems and programming systems.
As a highly civilized work, the science and technology tower also has detailed instructions for systems and programming that do not understand language and text. There is a guide on how to start a variety of texts and how to sort out ideas. .
Over this time, Qin Yi also intends to teach these ideas and methods to everyone, otherwise, when the virtual machine has been studied, this Chinese operating system and Chinese programming system may not have been studied.
"Where do I start?"
Wang Zhengyang took Qin Yi to the institute and came to a conference room filled with people from the institute who studied Chinese programming and Chinese operating systems.
Wang Zhengyang carefully sorted out his own language and thought about it: "Let's start with the language. Chinese has many advantages over English."
"The Chinese language is refined, concise, low-redundant, and expresses the richest meaning with the fewest symbols. We elaborate from the perspective of informatics. Chinese characters and Western letters are used as the most basic units of language to form vocabulary and sentences. , Conveying certain information, is the carrier of information, how to measure the information carried by each Chinese character and letter? "
"Modern informatics uses entropy to measure the average amount of information. Entropy indicates the uncertainty of the occurrence of a specified symbol. There are about 30 Pinyin letters used in Western letters. Chinese uses square characters as the writing unit, and the number is thousands. Obviously The degree of uncertainty that appears randomly is much greater than that of Western letters. From this perspective, the amount of information carried by each Chinese character is much greater than the amount of information carried by a letter. "
"Our statistical calculations show that the zero-order entropy of French letters is 3.98 bits, the zero-order entropy of Italian letters is 4.00 bits, the zero-order entropy of Spanish letters is 4.01 bits, and the zero-order entropy of English letters is 4.03 bits. German 4.10 bits, Romanian 4.12 bits, and Russian 4.35 bits. "
"The zero-order entropy of English words is 10.0 bits, and the zero-order entropy of Chinese words is 11.46 bits, which shows that the meaning of Chinese words is also richer than English."
Wang Zhengyang said that someone next to him turned on the projector to broadcast the results of their research on the differences between Chinese and English.
"Because our Chinese is too concise and concise, the meaning of a word or a word is too rich. The same word and word have different meanings in different occasions and moods."
"Therefore, the meaning of a sentence composed of Chinese characters is more abundant. It is often a very simple sentence, but it has multiple meanings."
"For example, how much can I wear?"
"If this sentence is very short, it has two meanings. One is to wear as much clothes as possible and the other is to wear as few clothes as possible. The two meanings are completely different, but they are the same sentence. "
"Language reduction is a very good thing, but in the field of computers, because computers are fundamentally accurate calculations."
"The meaning is not clear, it has no way to calculate."
"In contrast, English is more verbose, but verbose is long and verbose. Highly verbose language has good structure, accurate language information expression, strong error correction ability, and is conducive to computer calculations and programming."
Qin Yi listened carefully, and Wang Zhengyang said these things as soon as he understood them. He naturally understood Qin Yi who had studied computer in depth.
"As far as I know, the process of coding is to be as refined as possible. In theory, our Chinese advantage should be more obvious."
After hearing this, Qin Yi thought and raised his doubts.
"You're right. From the development of computers, programming has always required refinement, especially when the computer was just beginning to develop, because the storage capacity is limited, the coding is as refined as possible."
"It's like our ancient times. Before writing paper, we could only write on sheepskin or bamboo, because writing materials were made endlessly ~ EbookFREE.me ~ So writing was as concise as possible, so With what we have now. "
"But refining is refining. In the end, computers are still an operation and a calculation method. Refining must also express accurate meaning. We have too much meaning in Chinese. Refining is absolutely sufficient, but the meaning is too rich. It It's a huge headache for computing. "
Hearing Qin Yi's words, Wang Zhengyang nodded. He is an expert in computer text information processing and knows all these things.
"So, is it impossible to realize Chinese programming and Chinese systems?"
After hearing this, Qin Yi couldn't help frowning. Listening to Wang Zhengyang's words, I always felt depressing and angry, and I was thinking whether I should change someone to chair the work.
This is the time when Qin Yi first changed people. Qin Yi has never changed the head of any research unit, but this time, Qin Yi really moved this time.
"No ~ this English can be realized, we can also realize Chinese."
"Because our Chinese expressions are more abundant, I think that in the future development of computers, our Chinese advantage will become more and more obvious."
"In addition, the computer is the computer and the language is the language. This English is OK, we can also use Chinese, other Japanese, Arabic, etc. are also acceptable. Essentially any language is OK."
"It's just that we may be restricted by English and limited by existing programming thinking. We have been unable to break the rules and regulations left by English programming and English operating systems, so we have not made much progress."
