Origin
Traditional Chinese is the Chinese writing system that emerged after Xiaozhuan evolved into official script (and later regular script, running script, cursive script and other calligraphy). It has a history of more than 2,000 years. Until the 20th century, it was the common Chinese writing standard among Chinese people everywhere. Beginning in the 1950s, the People's Republic of China and the People's Republic of China officially simplified and formed a new Chinese writing standard on the basis of traditional Chinese, namely simplified Chinese.
Simplified Chinese is mainly composed of inherited characters and simplified characters that began to be implemented by the Central People's Government of the People's Republic of China after the 1950s. Simplified Chinese is mainly used in mainland China and Southeast Asia (such as Malaysia and Singapore), and Traditional Chinese is mainly used in Taiwan Province of China, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, and the Macau Special Administrative Region.
History of development
Oracle bone inscriptions are the oldest mature writing in China. From oracle bone inscriptions, bronze inscriptions, large seal scripts to small seal scripts, the fonts gradually became mainly line symbols and the glyphs gradually became fixed. Since the Southern and Northern Dynasties, vulgar characters with fewer strokes have appeared. For example, in the existing Yuan Dynasty edition of Water Margin, the common character Liu already appears.
The simplification of Chinese characters in modern times can be traced back to 1909 (the first year of Xuantong in the Qing Dynasty) when the "Education Magazine", which advocated common Chinese characters, was founded. Lu Feikui published an article in its first issue stating that common Chinese characters should be used in general education. On February 1, 1920, Qian Xuantong published a proposal to reduce the strokes of Chinese characters in New Youth. In 1922, Qian Xuantong and others proposed eight principles for simplifying Chinese characters.
