Because of the interference of simplified characters and variant characters, it is more difficult to learn traditional characters. But don't be afraid, as long as we adhere to one principle, that is, norms. There are three specifications here: ancient book engraving, Hong Kong and Taiwan specifications, and mainland specifications (in fact, Hong Kong and Taiwan also have their own standards), which can be used for reference. The information on the internet is complicated, so we should identify it and don't learn it easily, otherwise we will take a long detour to make mistakes right.
2. To know which words are simplified, the task of learning is to reduce simplified words to traditional characters.
Textbook: Summary of Simplified Chinese Characters (1964). If we master these principles, we will deepen our understanding of the complexity of Chinese characters, so as to master traditional Chinese characters more firmly. You will find several situations:
A. from simple to complex.
This should be the biggest obstacle to learning traditional Chinese characters. This kind of words should be looked up in a dictionary (a dictionary with traditional Chinese characters is recommended, and Wang Li's ancient Chinese dictionary is recommended by Zhonghua Book Company) to understand the meaning and usage of each word and use it.
B. because of the existence of situation a, some words seem to be simplified by the principle of simplification, but they are not.
(For example, because "Taiwan Province" is simplified to "Taiwan Province", it is easy to think that the traditional Chinese character of "Taiwan Province" is "Taiwan Province", but in fact they are two words with different sounds and meanings. )
In fact, it is good to notice this kind of characters, which usually appear in the case of one-to-many complexity of "root" The simplification principles of "too many things" and "generalizing the whole with the partial" are the reasons for misunderstanding.
This kind of words should be found in a one-to-many complex, familiar with a one-to-many complex, and then it is easy to solve such words. The method is still to look it up in the dictionary.
3. Variant characters.
The original meaning of "the first batch of variant characters" is the same, but the writing is different. But after finishing the variant forms, some words with different meanings are also classified as variant forms. There are many differences in one word, just like a simple one in the simplified word list. For example, the way to learn these words, such as: animal, animal, animal and animal, is the same as the way to learn simple words and complex words. Find them out, distinguish their similarities and differences by dictionary, and break them one by one.
4. Old and new glyphs.
The state has fine-tuned some words in strokes, which are called new glyphs, and the corresponding words are called old glyphs. There is no standard for the old and new glyphs. Almost every dictionary has a page in front of it, ranging from 50 words to 100 words. Try to understand these words, especially those with different glyphs. Both old and new strokes can be compared.
Examples of old and new glyphs: struggle-struggle, Shu-Shu, Wu-Wu, that is-that is-true-true.
Knowing the origin makes it easier to write and remember.
Try to understand the evolution of a word from ancient times to the present, and you will know the meaning of each component, so you don't have to recite Chinese characters as symbols. Recommend the following pages and enter the words you want to search for.
In fact, learning traditional Chinese characters only needs to read more, read more and write more.
