Secondly, traditional Chinese characters are beautiful and generous, and their artistry is much higher than that of simplified Chinese characters. Almost all people who study calligraphy write traditional Chinese characters, which are composed of characters, with regular combination and aesthetic feeling. Let's take a look at the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in traditional Chinese characters and the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in simplified Chinese characters. Obviously, traditional Chinese characters are beautiful and elegant, but simplified Chinese characters are very skinny.
Third, classical books are written in traditional Chinese characters. Only by understanding traditional Chinese characters can we better understand the traditional culture of China and pass it on. It is reported that the implementation of simplified characters is mainly to enable more than 600 million farmers to read as soon as possible and avoid trouble in learning. "1956 After Chinese mainland began to fully implement simplified Chinese characters, traditional Chinese characters still needed to be studied and used in the fields of teaching, scientific research, publishing, culture, business, certain people and so on, and had unique cultural value in the fields of ancient historical and cultural research, calligraphy art creation and so on.
Finally, traditional Chinese characters have a great influence and have a history of thousands of years. Not only in China, but also in neighboring countries of China, traditional Chinese characters still have great influence. Historically, East Asian countries have always used traditional Chinese characters as their writing. It was only in modern times that the invasion of western powers disrupted the unification of languages in East Asian countries.
Having said so many advantages of traditional Chinese characters, of course, there are also disadvantages about traditional Chinese characters. Obviously, there are many strokes in traditional Chinese characters, which are inconvenient to write and slow to learn. The Chinese characters we learned in this generation are simplified characters, but we also learned them step by step from dictation. It is not easy to learn Chinese characters, let alone let people learn traditional Chinese characters. In addition, in modern society, students are faced with a lot of knowledge to learn, and Chinese class alone has such a heavy task, which is not conducive to the balance of disciplines.
Secondly, the general trend of Chinese character development is simplification. Throughout the development history of Chinese characters, it has gone through the stages of Oracle Bone Inscriptions, bronze inscription, seal script, official script, regular script, cursive script and running script, which is a process of simplifying the complex. Especially in today's high-speed development of modern economy, everyone's time has become very precious, and everyone pursues high-speed and fast learning and working methods. Perhaps simplified Chinese characters are the best way to write.
Finally, as a tool, traditional Chinese characters are not conducive to cultural exchange. Writing is a tool for spreading culture. As a tool, the simplification of characters is the overall trend, which is conducive to spreading a wider culture, while traditional characters are difficult to learn and identify, and even "affect the spread and development of China culture". Because the use of traditional Chinese characters is very narrow, ordinary people have little chance to contact them. Asking students to learn traditional Chinese characters again will increase their academic burden, and it will easily conflict with the course of simplified Chinese characters, and even lead to cognitive confusion. It is of little significance for a small number of traditional Chinese characters to return to textbooks. How to screen, identify and teach only dozens of traditional Chinese characters needs to be re-standardized and arranged, which is also a headache when students' courses are so tight.
Looking back at the development history of Chinese characters in China, we can see that there have been several literary revolutions, such as the change from big seal to small seal and the change from small seal to official script. It is the historical necessity of the development of Chinese characters from complexity to simplicity, and simplified characters are the inevitable result of the development of Chinese characters. Simplified characters do not mean the loss of artistic and cultural connotations of Chinese characters, and there is no need to completely restore traditional characters without simplified characters. By reading these Chinese characters, students can fully understand the profoundness of traditional culture, and at the same time, they can be influenced by excellent traditional culture imperceptibly.
Generally speaking, simplified Chinese characters and traditional Chinese characters belong to the same family, and both have their own advantages and disadvantages. In this regard, I think it is a good method and choice to "write simply and know the complexity". When writing with simplified Chinese characters, we should also know the corresponding traditional Chinese characters. Interested people can also learn how to write some traditional Chinese characters, which will help us better understand the meaning of Chinese characters and read some ancient books.
