Modern simplified characters are simplified characters.
Simplified Chinese characters are fonts produced by China people and China government after 1950' s, and are simplified on the basis of traditional Chinese characters. This also produces the symmetry of traditional Chinese characters, that is, the writing of words before simplification. For the same Chinese character, simplified Chinese characters have fewer strokes than traditional Chinese characters. Simplified Chinese characters are one of the standard Chinese characters in Chinese mainland today. However, many Chinese characters in traditional Chinese characters have not been simplified, for example, "if a worker wants to do a good job, he must sharpen his tools first." These Chinese characters are called inheritance characters, which are neither traditional nor simplified.
