Life is short, eat, drink, and be traditional.

Traditional Chinese characters are shown in the following figure:

Life is Short comes from Cao Cao's Short Songs: What is life like when drinking? For example, morning dew is much more difficult to go to Japan. Be generous, and your troubles will be unforgettable. How to solve your worries? Only Du Kang.

"Eat, drink and be merry" comes from the new issue of "The Legacy of the Great Song Dynasty": Life is like a blink of an eye. If you don't eat, drink and be merry in time, you will be very sad.

Life is short, eat, drink and be merry in time. Later generations put these two sentences together to promote a negative thought, which means that time is in a hurry, so it is better to eat, drink and be merry in time to live up to our good years.

For the first time, the simplified Chinese character scheme and word list were officially announced by the government and successfully implemented. It is a simplified Chinese character scheme announced by the people of China and the State Council in 1956, and finally a simplified Chinese character list is worked out.

In Chinese mainland, traditional Chinese characters are preserved or used in the case of cultural relics, surnames, calligraphy seal cutting, handwritten inscriptions and special needs.
