跨文化交际

章节摘录

插图：Can you make sense of this picture？This is one of the oldest picture writings in the world.The pictures were scratched or painted on birch bark or animal skins，and could be used for communication between people who spoke different languages.The picture was a notice left on a tree by scouts of the Micmac tribe，which was at War with the Passamaquoddy tribe.It is a warning.means that ten Passamaquoddy Indians have been seen in canoes on the lake，going towards its outlet.The ten marks to the left ofthe canoe indicate the number of enemy seen. The fact that they are enemy is shown by the fish which the canoe is following； this is meant to be a pollock，which is the tribal emblem ofthe Passamaquoddy.The rest of the picture is a map，with an arrow on the lake showing the direction in which the ten Passamaquoddy have been seen moving.Tribesmen，like the Micmac tribe，sought various means by which to record thoughts.They drew and painted on cave walls to convey messages；they used signs and symbols to designate tribe or ownership.Do you know how our Chinese ancestors recorded their language in the old days？In dawenkou culture （大汶口文化，about 4494 BC-2690 BC），the unearthed pottery had a variety of symbols on it.This is considered as the earliest form of writing in Chinese civilisation.It is however not the origin ofthe characters（方块字）we use today.I assume that you know something or have heard about oracle bone inscriptions （甲骨文）.Table 1 on the next page shows you the evolution of Chinese writing from oracle bone inscriptions to present-day characters.
