Chinese And English Handwriting Method Is A Comparative Study

Since the ancient time, the exchange and interaction has been the fountain of scientific progress, only the hit of different thoughts and methods can merge people's advantage, stimulate scientific inspiration. Any behavior to seal oneself would cause the scientific way to become narrower and narrower. In the domain of handwriting identification, we also need to further explore the field of vision, understand and analyze the features of foreign character, compare their similarities and differences with those of Chinese character, then refine the attributes they both have, strips their special characteristics, thus on one hand can we strive for further perfection on the general foundation, on the other hand can we learn and absorb its distinctive quality and utilize it in the identification of Chinese handwriting. Certainly, the scientific advancement can not so quick, it needs to go forward gradually, therefore when study on the identification of foreign character, we'd better choose English, the most popular language at present as the object of comparison, after compare it with Chinese character on characteristic and identification method, try to find out the model of learn from each other.The famous case "Century contention for heritance in Hong Kong" provided a good chance for the research on handwriting identification of Chinese and English, It's the first time that different methods and ideas in different countries presented before the court in such a fierce way. The significance of the case lay in its guiding people to reflect the difference on method of identification. For a long time, because of different language and the communication barrier, the international communication on document examination has been inactive, mostly limited to native language. But with the development and integration of world economic and culture, foreign-related cases are increasing gradually, so the work of handwriting identification must step out of traditional category, keep on improving itself from a more macroscopic perspective. This article's elaboration just based on this reason, it started with the comparison of handwriting identification method in Chinese and English, proposed thy way of mutual absorption, then further introduced how to identify exotic characters, in order to be helpful for practical work of handwriting identification.The paper is composed of four parts.The first part is the outline of methodology, which is the basal theory. First the text proposed what is method, why did method play an important part in scientific research. Next it explains what the meaning of scientific method was, namely the balance of experience and ration, in fact these two aspects are just what Chinese and English handwriting identification method pay attention to respectively, so to keep the scientific nature of the method, both of these two aspects must be combined. Finally it indicated by example what scientific method of handwriting identification was and its basic Procedure.The second part mainly introduced the handwriting identification of Chinese and English, which lay the foundation for further comparison. First compared the history of handwriting identification of Chinese and English, historical studies is a question which any thorough research cannot dodge and neglect, only know the historical development situation clearly, can we have sufficient understanding. This part just excavated the vein of the idea and the method form of handwriting identification by their respective historical development and evolution. Next introduced the basal theory of handwriting identification, on this point the two are approximately the same, their theory basis stem from the specific, the stability and the reflection of writing habit. Finally introduced the procedure of handwriting identification—principle ACE, namely the analysis, comparison and synthesis judgment of handwriting. Overall, this part introduced mainly their similar parts except of the historical comparison, just because of this similarity can have the possibility of reference mutually, this is a basic premise.The third part is the centre of the text—the similarities and differences of handwriting identification method of Chinese and English. First compared the difference of handwriting characteristics, including the differences of style, stroke order, slant or slope, punctuation mark as well as arrangement and so on. The difference of handwriting characteristics would causes the difference of identification method, because the object and the method corresponds mutually, so in order to compare the method, we must first be clear about the difference of object. Next is the classification of handwriting characteristic. The Chinese character divides handwriting characteristic into the general characteristic and the detail characteristic, while English divides it into elements of style, elements of execution, attributes of all habits and combinations of writing habits. Cassification is an important way in research, it may reflect the different way of handwriting identification. Finally the article adopts this logical vein "different thinking mode in China and the West—different character structure—different methods of handwriting identification" to try to prove the different methods of handwriting identification of Chinese and English, ie. China's intuitive and the integrity thinking mode corresponds to Chinese character's block structure and ideograph; The west pays great attention to analyze and the real diagnosis thinking mode which corresponds to English curve structure. Different thinking mode and objects cause the difference of identification method. For example, the Chinese handwriting identification is good at using systematic method in comparative analysis, the utilization of dialectical thought in synthesis judgment; English tends to utilize the way of survey, the digital statistics and the logic reasoning. Only by understanding their respective method characteristic, can we be able to provide the condition for further reference.The fourth part returned to the article's primary intention after analyzing the similarities and differences of handwriting identification of Chinese and English, namely learn from each other's identification method. Research on method is only a way, the final goal is to learn experience and improve the level of identification. For example, the use of digit statistical analysis; systematic and flexible analysis method; scientific expression of identification conclusion. Finally, the article jumped out of the limitation of simple comparison of Chinese and English, expands the perspective to exotic character identification, thus promotes to a new height. Specifically speaking, in order to do well in this, preparatory work must be done, such as familiar with the country's language, collect relevant information, Then start the concrete work from these three stages: analysis, compares and judges. The article finally introduced handwriting examination of one who takes a language as mother tongue or non-mother tongue. So the object of handwriting identification is native character, foreign character and one country's character which another country's people write, thus forms a complete handwriting identification system.
