日本在唐以前一直以华为师,向中国学习,包括中国的制度、服饰、礼仪和文字,所以我们可以很明显地发现在日语中含有很多的中国汉字。但是,近代以来,日本进行了文字改革,要求用假名和罗马文字代替汉字的使用。本文从近代日本文字改革的社会背景和改革的过程、日本文字改革的现状以及造成现在日本文字使用情况的原因等方面,对日本近代文学改革进行了研究。 Before the Tang Dynasty, Japan had been a Chinese teacher and learned from China, including China’s system, costumes, etiquette and writing, so we can obviously find that there are many Chinese characters in Japanese. However, in modern times, Japan conducted a text reform that required the use of pseudonyms and Roman words instead of the use of Chinese characters. This paper studies the reform of modern Japanese literature from the social background and process of reform in modern Japanese writing, the status quo of Japanese writing reform and the reasons for the current usage of Japanese writing in Japan.
