At the same time that Chinese characters were abolished in the north and south of the Korean Peninsula in 1948, the movement of replacing Chinese characters with Korean proper words gradually began, and the Korean Peninsula began to write special proverbs and abolish Chinese characters.
After the Korean nation gained its independence around 1945, under the influence of the national trend of thought to get rid of the Japanese colonial influence, in order to get rid of the brand of China culture and abolish the use of Chinese characters, it was stipulated that Korean proverbs should be used to mark all the streets and alleys in South Korea.
Official characters can only be recorded in proverbs, and Chinese characters should not be taught in primary and junior high schools, and only in senior high schools will Chinese characters be listed as elective courses with foreign languages such as French, German and Spanish.
Extended information:
Chinese characters have been used for the longest time up to now, and they are the only ones that have been passed down to this day in Daimonji systems in ancient times. Chinese characters have been the main official characters in China in all dynasties.
Japan, South Korea, North Korea, Vietnam and other countries have been deeply influenced by Chinese culture in history, and even their languages have borrowed Chinese characters.
In ancient times, Chinese characters were not only used in China, but also served as the only international communication language in East Asia for a long time. Before the 2th century, they were the official written standard characters of Japan, Korean Peninsula, Viet Nam, Ryukyu and other countries, and all East Asian countries created Chinese characters themselves to some extent.
In the non-Chinese system, the Japanese simplified Chinese characters themselves and formulated new Japanese fonts, and South Korea also formulated official Korean characters usage norms; Vietnam, Korea, Mongolia and other countries that used Chinese characters in history have now abandoned Chinese characters.
