"Chinese characters are the only classical characters with a long history in the world that have been used so far. Even from the oracle bone inscriptions of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, the use of Chinese characters has not been interrupted for more than 3000 years. It can be said that each ancient Chinese character contains a very rich historical and cultural connotation, and is an important carrier to inherit and carry forward the excellent traditional Chinese culture." Professor huangdekuan, director of the center for research and protection of unearthed documents of Tsinghua University, introduced at the press conference that a large number of language and cultural achievements based on professional research, which can be preserved forever and are moving towards the world have been produced in the past decade.

Over the past decade, with the rapid development of information technology and artificial intelligence, a series of intelligent language products that meet the language needs of the people in the information age have entered the public. For example, the "Chinese boutique font library" includes 35 famous calligraphers' fonts of previous dynasties, the "intelligent conversion system for simplified and complex Chinese characters" with a conversion accuracy of 99%, the "Chinese character holographic resource system" covering the shape, sound, meaning, use and code information of more than 80000 Chinese characters in ancient and modern times, and the "language resource network of the State Language Commission" which collects nearly 1000 language resources.
