【 Reading Tip 】 The "Yubo" app on the mobile end of the Chinese Language, Writing, and Digital Museum has officially launched
Commentator from Guangming Net: Recently, the "Yubo" mobile app for the Chinese Language and Writing Digital Museum, developed by the Ministry of Education and the National Language Commission, was officially launched. This application is an adaptation and expansion based on the website of the Chinese Language and Writing Digital Museum. The style interface is consistent with the website, while the overall resources remain unchanged, achieving synchronization and frequency synchronization between the web and mobile ends. In terms of section settings, the application has seven resource sections: Language and National Conditions, Development and Evolution, Classic Inheritance, Language Museum Bookstore, Language Intelligence, and Theme Exhibition. Among them, interactive and gamified projects such as "Amazing Oracle Bone Script" have been added, making it easy for users to learn language and cultural knowledge and experience the achievements of language intelligence in an interesting way.
China has 56 ethnic groups and is a country with multiple ethnicities, languages, dialects, and scripts. Mandarin and standardized Chinese characters are the common language and script of the Chinese nation. Chinese is the most widely used language in China and also the language with the highest number of first language users in the world. Whether it is official dialects, Jin dialects, Wu dialects, Min dialects, Hakka dialects, or the Sino Tibetan language family, Altaic language family, Austronesian language family, South Asian language family, and Indo European language family; Whether it is the font evolution of oracle bone script, bronze script, seal script, clerical script, and regular script, or the writing schemes of Zhuang, Buyi, Yi, Miao, and Hani, Chinese language and script are symbols of the nation and also symbols of the national spirit. They have a declaration of national language sovereignty, a strength to forge a sense of community for the Chinese nation, and a continuation and inheritance of traditional Chinese culture.
Almost all museums are propaganda and educational institutions rather than research institutions. In the context of the national smart education initiative, whether it is the China Language and Writing Digital Museum or the China Language and Writing Digital Museum's mobile "Yubo" app, it plays a more important role in online education. In the section of classic inheritance, you can hear hosts such as Kang Hui and Ju Ping reciting and interpreting Chinese texts for primary and secondary schools; In the section of Yubo School, you can see idiom stories explained in the form of oracle bone script combined with animation... By entering the personal center through the "My" module, you can register with the National Smart Education Platform, record your learning footprint, accumulate learning points, and collect learning resources. The audience can also easily achieve multi platform and integrated learning, meeting their individual needs.
In recent years, with the increasing government investment in cultural relics and heritage, many physical museums have opened metaverse VR museums to bring more cultural relics and heritage to life. And viewers can also use digital avatars to shuttle through these virtual museums and achieve cloud tours. But language and writing itself are a special collection, without a material shell, but with rich connotations. In this way, the Language, Text, and Digital Museum has opened up the display of collections in a fully virtual space with the concept of fully online building and operation. Virtual exhibits correspond to virtual spaces, becoming the biggest difference and innovation between language museum websites and apps and traditional museums and online museums.
The original intention of the "Yubo" app is to make it easy to learn, fun, and accessible to everyone. Let this mobile language, text, and digital museum attract more attention and attention from people, allowing users to experience the beauty and magic of technology empowering language and text in their personal experiences. The language, text, and digital museum will become a new window for the dissemination of excellent Chinese culture, a new classroom for reading for all in the new era, and a new carrier for smart education and learning ecology. It will truly leverage the advantages of digital museums in terms of efficiency, convenience, universality, and service.
