When did simplified characters without characters appear?

The age of its appearance cannot be accurately verified. In ancient times, especially after the Song and Yuan Dynasties, people used "vulgar characters" instead of "orthography" with complicated strokes, but it was limited to the people and still used "orthography" in formal occasions and texts. After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC),1954 65438+February, the China Character Reform Committee was established, and1955 65438+1October, the Simplified Chinese Character Scheme (Draft) was published, in which many "common characters" handed down from ancient times were officially recognized as simplified characters. Therefore, it can be regarded as "nothing" rather than "nothing" after the founding of the People's Republic of China.
