The Role of Dong Character in School Education and Social Fields

Abstract

Since the implementation in the 1950s, the Dong character has experienced “ two ups and two downs” in its development. Over the past sixty years, it has made significant contributions and played an irreplaceable role in areas such as literacy education, bilingual training, bilingual teaching, inheritance of national cultural heritage, enrichment of Dong texts and reading materials, development of Dong music, promotion of radio, film and television. And with the promotion and use of Dong character, the Dong language itself has also developed and gained new vitality.
