Because I am a lazy person, I will describe it briefly. )
In ancient times, the Japanese nation only had its own national language, but not its own writing. After China culture spread to Japan, the literate Japanese began to record it in Chinese characters.
After the middle of the 5th century, Japan pioneered the method of writing Japanese with Chinese characters as phonetic symbols.
Because the composition of Chinese characters is complicated, it was gradually simplified, and only the radicals of China's regular script were written. In addition, the soft China cursive script is suitable for writing harmony songs, thus forming another simple, fluent and free font.
Because these words are borrowed from Chinese characters, they are called pseudonyms, regular script is called katakana, and China cursive script is called hiragana.
Generally, hiragana and katakana are used to express foreign words and special words.
