摘要/Abstract

甲骨文是古代汉语使用的一种古老的文字形式。它利用静态的象形元素塑造场景,传达动态、繁荣的信息。本研究的目的是证明受甲骨文启发的基于场景的图标可以被不同文化的人们有效地识别和理解,从而有助于跨文化交流场景。我们对来自不同文化背景的 16 个人进行了一项实验,以确定图标的可识别性。结果表明,这些图标在跨文化背景下具有较高的识别度。

Oracle bone script is an ancient form of writing character used by ancient Chinese. It takes advantage of static pictographic elements to shape scenes, thus conveying dynamic and prosperous messages. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that scene-based icons inspired by the oracle bone script can be effectively recognized and understood by people from different cultures and thus used to help in cross-cultural communication scenarios. An experiment was conducted with a sample of 16 people from different cultural backgrounds to determine the icons’ recognizability. The result indicates that these icons have relatively high recognizability in a cross-cultural context.
