Simplified Chinese characters evolved from running script, which was used by the ancients. Simplified characters can better adapt to the rhythm of modern life, and are concise without losing charm.
Compared with traditional Chinese characters, simplified Chinese characters are just like regular script and official script, and the development of Chinese characters has been decreasing. From the big seal of Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties to the small seal of Qin Lisi, Cheng Miao's small seal and Qin's gains and losses began to become official scripts. After more than 200 years of development, it evolved into a real book (also called official script, official script) in Wei Chu at the end of Han Dynasty, and now it is called regular script. The earliest existing physical objects came from Zhong You's "He Jack Watch" in the Three Kingdoms.
Modern regular script evolved from the simplicity of ancient Li's founder, the beauty of eight tones. (Cao Zhang: It refers to those used in the articles of association, which were simply stippled from the Han Dynasty to Pakistan, and were mostly used for memorials. )
Running script, between regular script and cursive script, is free to write. It was made by Liu Desheng in Yingchuan at the end of Han Dynasty and used for daily writing.
Cursive script, also known as broken grass and modern grass, is further developed from Cao Zhang, commonly known as book. At this time, Chinese characters are almost perfect.
After the invention of printing, there appeared Song-style characters suitable for printing, horizontal, vertical and square, which were finally finalized in the Ming Dynasty, and the Japanese called them "Ming style".
It can be seen that the development of Chinese characters has always been simplified, and the running script has been used as a daily style since the Jin Dynasty. Now simplified Chinese characters, to put it bluntly, are printed running scripts.
