Č...(11/4)

Kundera talked about 'Č' in his book of La Lenteur, and he refers this czech letter as a beauty of lightness simply like the flying butterfly...It is poetic, and he may be right. When French uses t, c, h and German uses t, s, c & h to pronounce the sound, czech has been simplified with only one 'flying' letter. We may view this the art of language, and the art needs some observation and imagination as its always requires.
I discussed with a friend another time about the creation of simplified Chinese. Are we simplifying the words and writing or are we trying to distort something the language possessed throughout the evolution of the thousand years history? The convention of way to write can be a nice topic for a scientific research. In the past, people wrote vertically from top to bottom and from right to left, and now the usual convention adapts the English writing style simply horizontally from left to right. My friend said a scientific study, if conductable (I doubt how the control experiment can be carried out?!), can work on the difference of efficiency if we read and write from the two methods. True, the angle and direction of viewing the objects stimulate a different part of utilisation of my brain, apparently, and the perception with different perspectives can be slightly varied (as least I have a feeling about this according to my own experience). This reminds us about the perspective we apply in this ever-changing world, perhaps, again...
