HSK 等级高亮 · Highlight by HSK Level
2026 nián2026年1 yuè 1 rì1月1日,xīn新xiū dìng修订de的《guó jiā国家tōng yòng通用yǔ yán语言wén zì文字fǎ法》zhèng shì正式kāi shǐ开始shī xíng施行。

On January 1, 2026, the newly revised "National Common Language and Script Law" officially came into effect.

zhè这shì是shí gé时隔25nián年hòu后,zhōng guó中国dì yī cì第一次duì对zhè这bù部fǎ lǜ法律jìn xíng进行zhòng dà重大xiū gǎi修改。

This is the first major revision of this law in China after 25 years.

yǔ与2000nián年de的bǎn běn版本xiāng bǐ相比,xīn新fǎ lǜ法律zuì最míng xiǎn明显de的biàn huà变化shì是cóng从“tí chàng提倡”zhuǎn xiàng转向le了“yán gé guǎn lǐ严格管理”。

Compared to the 2000 version, the most obvious change in the new law is the shift from "advocacy" to "strict management."

xiàn zài现在de的shè huì huán jìng社会环境hé和25nián qián年前yǐ jīng已经wán quán完全bù tóng不同,yīn cǐ因此fǎ lǜ法律tè bié特别zēng jiā增加le了guān yú关于hù lián wǎng互联网de的nèi róng内容。

The current social environment is completely different from 25 years ago, so the law especially added content about the internet.

xīn新guī dìng规定yāo qiú要求,wǎng luò网络shì pín视频、wǎng luò网络chū bǎn wù出版物yǐ jí以及zhèng fǔ政府de的gōng gòng公共fú wù服务píng tái平台,yīng dāng应当yǐ以pǔ tōng huà普通话hé和guī fàn规范hàn zì汉字wèi为jī běn基本yòng yǔ用语yòng zì用字。

The new regulations require that online videos, online publications, and government public service platforms should use Mandarin and standard Chinese characters as the basic language and script.

zhè这yì wèi zhe意味着,zhèng fǔ政府yǐ hòu以后huì会gèng更quán miàn全面dì地guǎn lǐ管理wǎng shàng网上de的yǔ yán语言shǐ yòng使用,jiǎn shǎo减少bù guī fàn不规范de的biǎo dá表达。

This means the government will more comprehensively manage language use online and reduce non-standard expressions.

bù jǐn不仅shì是zài在wǎng shàng网上,zài在zhōng guó中国jìng nèi境内jǔ bàn举办de的guó jì国际zhǎn lǎn展览hé和guó jì国际huì yì会议,yě也bèi被yāo qiú要求shǐ yòng使用biāo zhǔn标准de的guó jiā国家tōng yòng通用yǔ yán语言wén zì文字。

Not only online, but international exhibitions and conferences held within China are also required to use the standard national common language and script.

wèi le为了bǎo zhèng保证zhè xiē这些guī dìng规定néng能luò落dào到shí实chù处,zhèng fǔ政府bù jǐn不仅yāo qiú要求xué xiào学校jìn yí bù进一步fā huī发挥pǔ jí普及pǔ tōng huà普通话de的jī chǔ基础zuò yòng作用,hái还míng què明确le了jīng fèi经费bǎo zhàng保障,yāo qiú要求dì fāng地方zhèng fǔ政府jiāng将zhè这xiàng项gōng zuò工作de的fèi yòng费用liè rù列入yù suàn预算。

To ensure these regulations are implemented, the government not only requires schools to further promote the basic role of popularizing Mandarin but also clarifies funding guarantees, requiring local governments to include the costs in their budgets.

zuì最zhí de值得guān zhù关注de的shì是,xīn新fǎ lǜ法律zēng jiā增加le了guān yú关于“fǎ lǜ zé rèn法律责任”de的nèi róng内容。

Most notably, the new law adds content about "legal responsibility."

yǐ qián以前,fǎ lǜ法律gèng更duō多shì是jiàn yì建议dà jiā大家rú hé如何shǐ yòng使用yǔ yán语言。

Previously, the law mostly advised people on how to use language.

dàn但xiàn zài现在,rú guǒ如果qǐ yè企业zài在guǎng gào广告、zhāo pái招牌huò或wǎng luò网络píng tái平台shàng上bù guī fàn不规范yòng yǔ用语yòng zì用字,guǎn lǐ管理bù mén部门yǒu有le了gèng更míng què明确de的quán lì权力yāo qiú要求qí其gǎi zhèng改正,shèn zhì甚至jìn xíng进行chǔ fá处罚。

But now, if companies use non-standard language or script in advertisements, signs, or online platforms, the management departments have clearer authority to demand corrections and even impose penalties.

zhè zhǒng这种biàn huà变化fǎn yìng反映chū出,zhōng guó中国zhèng正tōng guò通过fǎ lǜ法律shǒu duàn手段,ràng让guó jiā国家yǔ yán语言huán jìng环境biàn dé变得gèng jiā更加tǒng yī统一。

This change reflects that China is using legal means to make the national language environment more unified.

duì yú对于zhōng wén中文xué xí学习zhě者lái来shuō说,zhè这yì wèi zhe意味着shè huì社会shàng上de的yǔ yán语言xìn xī信息huì会biàn dé变得gèng更biāo zhǔn标准,cuò wù错误de的fā yīn发音huò或cuò bié zì错别字huì会biàn变shǎo少。

For Chinese learners, this means that language information in society will become more standardized, with fewer pronunciation errors or typos.

dàn但cóng从lìng另yí gè一个jiǎo dù角度kàn看,zhè这tóng shí同时yě也fǎn yìng反映chū出zhōng guó中国duì对shè huì社会wén huà文化lǐng yù领域de的guǎn lǐ管理zhèng zài正在biàn dé变得yuè lái yuè越来越yán lì严厉。

But from another perspective, it also reflects that China's management of the social and cultural field is becoming increasingly strict.

suí zhe随着xīn新fǎ lǜ法律de的shī xíng施行,zhōng guó中国de的yǔ yán语言wén zì文字huán jìng环境jiāng将jìn rù进入yí gè一个gèng jiā更加guī fàn规范、dàn但yě也gèng jiā更加yán gé严格de的xīn jiē duàn新阶段。

With the implementation of the new law, China's language and script environment will enter a more standardized but also stricter new stage.
