Traditional Chinese characters refer to Chinese characters with more strokes replaced by simplified characters after simplification. The latest specification is the Comparison Table of Standardized Characters, Traditional Characters and Variant Characters, which was promulgated and implemented by the State Council on June 5th, 20th13rd. The word "Si" is not among them, so it is not necessary to be simple and complicated.
The Chinese nation is an ancient nation with a long history and cultural tradition. It has a glorious page in the past, and its past glory mainly depends on Chinese characters-to be exact, it should be handed down one by one, closely linked with historical and cultural traditions. This unbreakable combination endows traditional Chinese characters with special meanings, which makes them to some extent synonymous with ancient civilization in China, symbolizing the 5,000-year-old civilization, national unity, national unity and a long and splendid culture.
From the font point of view, it is clear that the complexity and simplification started from 1956. Before that, traditional Chinese characters were the main characters, and most of the French posts were produced before that, so the words compiled in the French posts were naturally mainly traditional Chinese characters. In the process of learning calligraphy, people unconsciously inherit traditional Chinese characters while being influenced by art, so that they also write traditional Chinese characters intentionally or unintentionally when writing. Originally, as a calligraphy art, traditional Chinese characters or uncommon words with few strokes are beyond reproach, because at this time they often pay more attention to the formal beauty of Chinese characters and seldom take into account their meaning expression as information carriers. However, under the influence of calligraphy art, some people blindly write some words in traditional Chinese characters, because they only know imitation and copying, and they don't distinguish the current functions of complex and simple words in different occasions.

The revival of traditional Chinese characters is also related to the use of traditional Chinese characters by Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan compatriots and overseas Chinese. Due to historical and political reasons, compatriots in Taiwan Province Province, Hong Kong, Macao and overseas Chinese have been isolated from Chinese mainland for a long time. Under such circumstances, their national consciousness and different wishes from other nationalities can only become stronger and stronger, and the formation of their national consciousness and different wishes from other nationalities must depend on the same language and writing. Language is important because it relates to every member of a nation in an all-round way and reflects the characteristics of this nation most profoundly. It is the most obvious sign to maintain the internal relations among ethnic groups and distinguish people of different ethnic groups. For compatriots from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan and overseas Chinese, traditional Chinese characters are just so. They were born with this medium and have been using it all the time, which has produced feelings, which makes them feel inseparable from traditional Chinese characters. Traditional Chinese characters have become a symbol of their China identity. They think that traditional Chinese characters are the most handy to use and can express their feelings, so they prefer to use traditional Chinese characters, and they are often reluctant to use other characters they have mastered, that is, simplified Chinese characters promoted in the Mainland, which has not done them any harm.
Traditional Chinese characters conform to the law of six books and have strong regularity. Most people with the same vowels have the same radicals or radicals. On the surface, the strokes of traditional Chinese characters are complicated to write, but easy to remember. Although simplified Chinese characters are simple to write, rote learning is more difficult than traditional Chinese characters. This is why shorthand symbols are the simplest but impossible to realize.
197 1 After China joined the United Nations in, he promoted simplified Chinese characters in an all-round way, excluding traditional Chinese characters. The relevant provisions of the United Nations on the use of a country's spoken and written language also stipulate that the spoken and written language of each ethnic group should be consistent with the modern spoken and written language of the country where the spoken and written language originated. Traditional Chinese characters used in Taiwan Province Province are standard Chinese characters, while those used in Hongkong are traditional Chinese characters.
In the history of China, from ancient times to the Western Han Dynasty, there were significant differences between official standard fonts and modern traditional Chinese characters. It was not until the official script prevailing in the Eastern Han Dynasty appeared in the Qin Dynasty that it was closer to the modern traditional Chinese characters. Compared with all kinds of simplified characters spontaneously used by the people, the standardized Chinese characters promulgated by the imperial courts in previous dynasties have official authority, but the imperial seals and official seals at all levels used in various dynasties after Qin Dynasty still use small seal. Chinese mainland began to formulate and implement simplified characters in 1956. Since then, simplified Chinese characters have become the standard Chinese characters in Chinese mainland, while traditional Chinese characters are traditional Chinese characters relative to simplified Chinese characters.

Oracle Bone Inscriptions is the oldest mature script in China. From Oracle Bone Inscriptions, bronze inscriptions, big seal script to small seal script, the font gradually became dominated by line symbols, and the font gradually became fixed.
Since the Northern and Southern Dynasties, there have been vulgar characters with fewer strokes. The simplified word "Liu" has appeared in the existing Yuan Dynasty engraving "Water Margin". In fact, vulgar characters, or simplified characters, have been circulating among the people.
The simplification of Chinese characters in modern times can be traced back to the publication of 1909 (the year of Xuantongyuan in Qing Dynasty), which advocated vulgar characters. Lu Feikui published an article "Common Words in General Education" in the inaugural issue. 1 920 February1day, Qian published "Suggestions on Reducing the Stroke of Chinese Characters" in New Youth. 1922, Qian et al. put forward eight principles of simplifying Chinese characters.
