Traditional Chinese characters, a font form of Chinese characters, are called "traditional Chinese characters" in European and American countries. Generally speaking, it refers to the Chinese characters replaced by simplified characters in the Chinese character simplification movement, and sometimes it refers to the whole Chinese character regular script and official script writing system before the Chinese character simplification movement. Traditional Chinese has a history of more than two thousand years. Until 1956, it was the standard Chinese character used by Chinese people all over the world.
A total of 2274 simplified words and 14 simplified word radicals, such as "壹壹", "壹壹", "壹" and "壹壹".
Traditional Chinese characters are still used in Chinese mainland, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, and most overseas Chinese communities such as Singapore and Malaysia are traditional Chinese characters and simplified Chinese characters. In Chinese mainland, in the case of cultural relics, variant surnames, calligraphy seal cutting, handwritten inscriptions and special needs, traditional Chinese characters are retained or used.
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 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, so there are not necessarily fewer strokes of "simplified".
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.
