    Sarasota, Florida teen band The Garbage-Men is performing on the stage. The band has five members. They are Jack Berry, Ollie Gray, Harrison Paparatto, Austin Siegel and Evan Tucker. The five teens are making music from waste. The Garbage-Men band's instruments are made from recycled things. The guitars are boxes. A horn(号) is made from pipes. The keyboard is formed from old bottles.

    The band started about two years ago. Jack Berry who was in eighth grade at the time decided to make a playable, home-made guitar, after some trial-and-error(反复试验), he ended up building it from a cereal box, a yardstick and toothpicks. After Jack showed his creation to his friend Ollie Gray, Ollie had the idea to form a band using other home-made instruments as a way to improve recycling. “We want to show people there is more to recycling than throwing things away in the bin.” Jack, 16, told TFK. “You can actually reuse materials.”

    The Garbage-Men plays at local events around Sarasota, including festivals, farmer's markets and community fundraisers. Typically, the teens will set up on the street and perform popular songs from the 1960s, including classic Beatles tunes and crowd favorite “Wipe Out,” by The Surfaris. In between sets, they talk about recycling and offer tips for how to help the environment. While they perform, Jack's little brother Trent, 11, gives out flyers(宣传单) about recycling and helps sell the band's CDs and other musical products.

    The band donates(捐赠) the money from sales to charity. They have raised more than $2,500 for Heifer International. The organization gives farm animals, seeds and agricultural(农业的) training to people in poor countries to help end poverty and hunger. “It's a good, sustainable-development (持续发展的)charity,” Jack says, “By donating one animal, you help the whole community.”

    The band, all tenth graders, tries to play a show every week. They've also played on a Tampa, Florida radio station and auditioned(试演) for America's Got Talent. The teens hope to eventually take their shows on the road by touring in other states. “Music is a really good way to get a good message across to people because it's really accessible(可接近的),” Jack says. Their instruments may be rubbish, but their message isn't.

    众多事实告诉我们，语言文字的功能绝不仅仅在于交流和书写，还关乎民族认同和国家统一。共同的语言文字有助于形成共同的风俗习惯、伦理道德、价值观念、历史记忆、民族情感等，有助于形成共同的文化认同和民族认同。而这，正是促进和维系国家统一的前提条件之一。

    古代中国的地域已经非常广袤，而且诸侯林立、民族众多，如果各地都各说各的语言，不利于国家的统一和政令的颁行，所以早在夏商周时期就有了统一的、标准的语言发音。比如，在《诗经》的“风、雅、颂”三部分中，“雅”和“颂”要用“雅言”来吟唱。“雅言”就是当时统一的普通话或标准话，用现在的说法就是“国语”。秦始皇一统中国后，又做到了“书同文”，即文字的统一。文字统一对形成共同的文化认同和民族认同，对中国的民族融合、国家统一、疆域拓展、历史延续，都起着不可替代的作用。香港已故儒商安子介曾说文字统一是中国的第五大发明，而在笔者看，实是第一大发明。

    但是，汉语汉字自近代以来就命运多舛，即使在今天也是危机重重。一些地方电台、电视台的方言节目无所约束，国人国语水平堪忧；越来越多的国人开始利用电脑处理文字工作，敲打键盘代替了握笔书写、拼音字母代替了笔画顺序。人们不再识繁体字，不再写文言文，不再读经典名著，不但说着不古不今、不中不西的语言，而且菲薄道德、懈怠礼仪、漠视传统。繁简并行于世，“中华文化圈”各说各话、各用各字———大陆使用简体字，台港澳、新加坡以及一些海外中文媒体使用繁体字。早年台湾称繁体字为“正体字”，意在表明台湾坚守中国文化正统，如今则意在表明台湾文化和大陆文化的差异，成为“文化台独”的一个由头。台湾弱化国语教育而把“客家话”或“闽南话”称为“台语”加以推行，同样是醉翁之意不在酒。

    上述这些现象，不但危及中国的文化传承和文明特色，也关乎中国人的民族认同和国家统一。笔者在此尝试性提出几条建议以期引起有识者的重视和讨论：其一，加强保护汉语言文字纯洁的力度。保护母语是绝大多数民族和国家的通行做法。比如，法国规定国产商品的商标必须使用法文，韩国主张“立志于国语发展和国语文化创造”。我们要在全社会树立以“说我汉语，写我汉字”为荣的观念；规范汉语发音、汉字书写；降低外文“污染”。联合国教科文组织早就提出“学习母语是一种权利”，并把每年的2月21日作为“世界母语日”，笔者也建议中国把每年2月21日确立为“中华母语节”。

总之，汉语汉字关乎文化传承、文明特色，关乎民族认同和国家统一，关乎民族复兴和中国崛起，必须从战略的高度对待汉语汉字问题。
