Established in 2010, UN Language Days promote the equal use of all official languages and celebrate linguistic and cultural diversity. UN Chinese Language Day falls around Guyu, linked to the cultural legacy associated with Cangjie and the creation of Chinese characters. Chinese carries history and connects the past with the present. 你的语言,如何与你的文化根脉相连?/ How does your language connect you to your roots?
