Although the history of simplified Chinese characters is not short, its formal use began in August 1935, and the Ministry of Education of the Republic of China published the first list of simplified Chinese characters. 1956 after the founding of new China, simplified characters were formulated and implemented, but it has only been several decades.
Traditional Chinese characters have a long history. It can be said that the history of Chinese characters is as long as traditional Chinese characters. Traditional Chinese characters have a long history because they can be traced back to the origin of Chinese characters. The origin of China characters began with Oracle Bone Inscriptions, Jinwen, Dazhuan and Xiaozhuan, and it was not until Qin Shihuang annexed six countries and unified the whole country that traditional Chinese characters were basically formed.

Traditional Chinese characters are still used in many parts of the world.
Perhaps many people will think that few people use traditional Chinese characters in modern society, and few countries and regions use traditional Chinese characters. In fact, on the contrary, there are still many people who use traditional Chinese characters in modern society, and there are still many countries and regions that use traditional Chinese characters in modern society. Usually, our Spring Festival couplets, calligraphy seal cutting and calligraphy inscriptions all use traditional Chinese characters, as do ancient cultural relics and monuments, and they are also used in the case of different surnames and special needs.
Although simplified Chinese characters are mainly used in Chinese mainland now, traditional Chinese characters are also used at the same time and have not been abandoned. In addition to the traditional Chinese characters used in Chinese mainland, Taiwan Province Province of China, Hongkong and Macau mainly use traditional Chinese characters. At the same time, apart from China, many overseas Chinese groups such as Singaporeans and Malaysians coexist with complexity and simplicity. Historically, traditional Chinese characters (Chinese characters) were used more widely, including China, Mongolia, Viet Nam, Myanmar, North Korea, South Korea, Japan, Ryukyu, Malaysia and other countries. Just like Japanese characters today, traditional Chinese characters (Chinese characters) are an important part. Nowadays, Vietnamese calligraphy also uses traditional Chinese characters (Chinese characters).
In history, many countries and regions that use traditional Chinese characters (Chinese characters) have formed a cultural circle of Chinese characters. These countries in the cultural circle of Chinese characters are not only influenced by China in words, but also by China in culture and history. Even these countries and regions in the cultural circle of Chinese characters have not given up using traditional Chinese characters, or have not used traditional Chinese characters across the board. Do we in China have to give up traditional Chinese characters ourselves?
In fact, the use of Chinese characters is complicated and simplified.
Of course, traditional Chinese characters are not full of advantages without shortcomings. In fact, traditional Chinese characters also have many shortcomings, such as too many strokes, too large fonts, too difficult to learn and too troublesome to write. The advantages of simplified Chinese characters are obvious: they are endowed with the dominant position in modern times, easy to learn, easy to understand, concise and easy to write, practical and convenient, and have a high popularization rate.
But this should not be the reason for modern college students to abandon traditional Chinese characters and only learn simplified Chinese characters, so that they will abandon traditional Chinese characters across the board from now on. In fact, at present, the use of Chinese characters is both complicated and simple. Simplified Chinese characters are easy to understand and communicate, while traditional Chinese characters also have their special uses and are indispensable. Although the main body and mainstream in modern society use simplified characters, in some special fields and industries, traditional characters are still used, such as Spring Festival couplets, calligraphy seal cutting, calligraphy inscriptions, cultural relics and ancient books, historical sites and so on. Traditional Chinese characters are still used in some special areas, such as Taiwan Province Province, Hongkong and Macau.
There is no contradiction between using simplified Chinese characters and learning traditional Chinese characters.
In fact, there is no contradiction between using simplified Chinese characters and learning traditional Chinese characters. Simplified characters are naturally used and popular in modern society. However, if it is for professional needs, industry needs, or hobbies and special purposes, it is also possible to learn traditional Chinese characters. For example, it is absolutely necessary for college students majoring in literature, history, archaeology, art and calligraphy to learn traditional Chinese characters. College students majoring in calligraphy, in particular, don't understand traditional Chinese characters and can't create calligraphy at all.
Even if you don't need to study traditional Chinese characters professionally or know them at work, you can take learning traditional Chinese characters as a hobby. Learning traditional Chinese characters, especially calligraphy, is not only a kind of cultural inheritance, but also a kind of cultivation. Even if you don't study traditional Chinese characters specially, it doesn't matter if you practice or get to know some traditional Chinese characters occasionally. You can't have too many skills and talents. Maybe you will use them in your life or work.
