1. Inheritance of simplified characters: common characters in Yuan and Song Dynasties, the first simplified character list in the Republic of China, and the revised version of simplified character scheme adopted by 1955. In Song Dynasty, the economy was developed and the people's living standard was the highest since ancient times, so the illiteracy rate was also the lowest. After all, after food and clothing are satisfied, we pay special attention to spiritual cultivation, so we pay special attention to learning Chinese characters. However, traditional Chinese characters are too complicated. For ordinary people, there is no need to learn such a formal font, so there are some conventional simplified characters to facilitate cultural exchanges between people. In the Yuan Dynasty, it was the time when scripts and dramas began to prevail. In order to speed up the creation efficiency, simplified Chinese characters have become more popular. During the Republic of China, in order to improve people's knowledge level, the first simplified word list was published. By 1955, the revised Chinese phonetic scheme, which lasted for six years, officially marked the beginning of Chinese mainland's study of simplified Chinese characters.
Second, simplified Chinese characters are easy to learn and know traditional Chinese characters. After all, this is an instinct. Simplified Chinese characters retain the essence of traditional Chinese characters, but the strokes are reduced. How can we say that they are actually residual Chinese characters? Simplified characters were put forward at that time because of the special historical period. If China wants to develop modern industry, it must improve the people's knowledge level in an all-round way. Simplified Chinese characters are easy to read, write and remember, which is beneficial to eliminate illiteracy in China, and can also reduce the difficulty for foreigners to learn Chinese, so that Chinese can go out and go to the world.
Although simplified Chinese characters are the main characters in Chinese mainland, this does not mean that we have given up the writing research of traditional Chinese characters. For example, we will learn a lot of traditional Chinese characters in calligraphy classes in primary schools and introduce many traditional Chinese characters in reading ancient books. The vast majority of mainland students know traditional Chinese characters, and books written in traditional Chinese characters can be easily read by them. After all, recognizing traditional Chinese characters may have become the instinct of children in China, and it is engraved in their genes.
