How many words is a thousand words?

Thousand-word prose is a verse composed of 1000 Chinese characters. In the Southern Dynasties, Liang Wudi ordered 65,438+0,000 non-repetitive Chinese characters from Wang Xizhi's calligraphy, and asked Zhou Xingsi, an assistant minister who rode far away from Yuan, to compile them. This was the first "thousand words" in the history of China. The full text consists of four sentences, which are neat, clear and brilliant, and amazing. Qian Wen Zi is an influential children's enlightenment book in China, with simple sentences and easy memorization. However, after simplifying Chinese characters and merging variant characters in Chinese mainland, there are only more than 990 different Chinese characters left in the simplified Chinese version (the specific figures vary according to the ownership of variant characters).
