"GUIHUA":A LINGUISTIC EXAMINATION OF PLANNING AND ITS RELATED TERMINOLOGY
Language is the main carrier of technology and culture.Many misconceptions that arise from logical misunderstandings in language use can only be clarified and eliminated through a logical analysis of language use.Starting from the basic requirements of terminology,this paper focuses on the ambiguity and vagueness of the term"planning(guihua in Chinese)"and its related terms in actual use,and introduces the basic knowledge of linguistics such as language morphological analysis.In accordance with relevant literature,archives,and engineering practices,the paper conducts a horizontal analysis of its basic meaning,summarizes its historical usage logic vertically,and distinguishes,refutes,and clarifies the comprehension ways of"guihua"-related terms and sentences one by one,striving to identify and understand the sources of"guihua"and its related concepts more clearly."Guihua"is a result of the interaction of different languages,heterogeneous planning technology systems,and opposing ideologies.To shape"Chinese Planning"in Chinese-style modernization,we should be patient with the planning system,and enable the planning discipline to"speak Chinese"more accurately.
