Traditional Chinese characters, that is, the writing system of Chinese characters produced after the evolution of Xiao Zhuan into official script (followed by regular script, running script, cursive script, etc.). ), which has a history of more than 2000 years, has been a common Chinese writing standard for Chinese people all over the world until the 20th century. Since the 1950' s, the people of China and the government of China have simplified the traditional Chinese characters and formed a new Chinese writing standard, namely simplified Chinese.
Simplified Chinese is mainly composed of inherited characters and simplified characters introduced by China people and the Central People's Government after 1960s. Simplified Chinese is mainly used in Chinese mainland and Southeast Asia (such as Malaysia and Singapore), while traditional Chinese is mainly used in Taiwan Province Province, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and Macao Special Administrative Region of China.
The word "traditional Chinese characters" is only used when a word has simplified Chinese characters. If a Chinese character has no corresponding simplified character, it belongs to the category of inherited characters. However, in some cases, the fonts popular in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan are generally called "traditional Chinese characters" or "traditional Chinese characters"; Chinese characters (including simplified characters and non-simplified inherited characters) are generally called "simplified characters" or "simplified Chinese".
But in fact, the difference between this system and the Chinese characters used in Taiwan Province Province, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and Macao Special Administrative Region is not only the difference between simple and complicated Chinese characters, but also the difference between variant characters and glyphs to a great extent, so the strokes of "simplified Chinese characters" are not necessarily less; Some strokes are more than the former, such as "Qiang".
Influenced by writing habits, some Chinese characters in Taiwan Province Province have been merged, but the replaced characters can still be used as variant characters, only a certain term of the word has been replaced. In the history of China, from ancient times to the Western Han Dynasty, there were significant differences between official standard fonts and modern traditional Chinese characters. It was not until the official script prevailing in the Eastern Han Dynasty appeared in the Qin Dynasty that it was closer to the modern traditional Chinese characters.
Compared with all kinds of simplified characters used spontaneously by the people, the standardized Chinese characters promulgated by the court through compiling the "character book" have official authority. However, seal script is still used in the imperial seals and official seals at all levels used in various dynasties after Qin Dynasty. Simplified characters were formulated and implemented in Chinese mainland from 65438 to 0956. Since then, simplified Chinese characters have become the standard Chinese characters in Chinese mainland. Traditional Chinese characters are traditional Chinese characters relative to simplified Chinese characters.
