Learning those pictogram comes from stuborness to hold still to own tradition, given chinese history that might be inevitable but logically speaking it's simply a stiff rusted way of thinking..

well I'm always on the progressive side so it's just my own opinion.. I could speak and listen in jap, mandarinese and Cantonese but I can only read basic Kanji. I'm sure one day the newer generation will abandon such troublesome writing system, having to learn ten of thousands of word just to spread information ain't exactly suited to the age of information. At least something like Kana, Hira and Hangul could be learnt easily by anyone, but Logosyllabic writing that requires you to create a new icon to convey different information? Even as a half-chinesse I can't accept it.

Of course speaking from IR perspective it have it's own good and bad, building sense of identity using culture are a good move to build a strong nation foundation, the drawback is that using that method will separate you from the rest of the world, in this case it'll be Chinese and the world.. well there's Putin too that try to be different from the west using different method. Of course such division have it's good and it's bad.. but i'll be straying way too far from topic.

It's not like it's inherently bad, it's just inefficient, half other reason is that my shitty father used to preach whatever bout the oh-so-great-china... probably that's why I kind of worked up.. The more he praise it the more I want to contradict that sorry excuse of a father.. meh,, anyway it's nothing personal, I just get really worked up everytime someone said "learn Han zi / Kanji"
