Question

    Languages are powerful, sometimes more than one can imagine .Most recently an ancient saying“山川异域,风月同天”has deeply touched the Chinese people, which means even though the landscapes are different, we share the wind and moon under the same sky.

The saying was printed on packages of masks sent to Wuhan, Hubei Province from Japan when the novel coronavirus broke out in China. On the packages, there were also Chinese and Japanese national flags, as well as encouraging Chinese characters “加油,中国”. It’s not only the friendship behind the masks, but also the special beauty of the ancient Chinese language.

Although it is written in ancient Chinese language, the saying is from a Japanese prince. The ancient saying first appeared on the frocks(袈裟) which were sent to the monks in the Chinese Tang dynasty.

The Chinese monk Jianzhen was touched by these Chinese characters at that time and decided to start his journey to Japan. He tried six times in 11 years before finally arriving in the country and then helped a lot with the development of Japanese arts and medical studies .Jianzhen was known as the messenger of culture between China and Japan. He was remembered by the people of both countries.

Now once again, the Chinese are deeply touched by the meaning in the ancient saying : understanding, sharing, and support. It feels like walking into the house from outdoors in the freezing winter and having a cup of hot tea. The warmth is inside.

【解析】

文章大意：语言的力量是强大的，有时是超乎想象的，最近有句古谚“山川异域,风月同天”深深地打动了中国人，当新型冠状病毒在中国爆发时，这句话印在从日本寄往湖北武汉的口罩包装上。这不仅是面具背后的友谊，更是中国古代语言的独特之美。这句话虽然是用古汉语写的，但却是出自一位日本王子之手。这句古语最早出现在唐代发给僧侣的衣服上。当时的中国僧侣鉴真被这些汉字所感动，决定开始他的日本之旅。在11年的时间里，他尝试了六次，最终到达日本，并对日本艺术和医学的发展起到了很大的帮助，鉴真被誉为中日文化的使者。两国人民都怀念他。现在，中国人又一次被这句古话中的“理解、分享、支持”深深打动。
