One of the contents of Chinese character reform. It includes two meanings: saving strokes and reducing the number of Chinese characters. The former refers to changing words with complex strokes into words with few strokes; The latter means that there may be several ways to write a word, including orthography, vulgar characters and variant characters. After simplification, one is determined as orthography, and the others are cancelled. Simplified characters are called simplified characters. As early as Oracle Bone Inscriptions and bronze inscriptions, simplified characters appeared, that is to say, the simplification of Chinese characters and simplified characters began in the Yin and Shang Dynasties in China. Since then, Chinese characters have been simplified in almost different historical periods, and corresponding simplified characters have been produced. For example, from the script of the Six Kingdoms to the script of Xiao Zhuan after the unification of Qin Dynasty, the "script with the same body" ordered by Qin Shihuang can be regarded as the first large-scale official simplification of Chinese characters in the history of China. For the six languages, Xiao Zhuan means standard characters and simplified characters. Every change of calligraphy style in the future, from seal script to official script, from official script to regular script, is a simplification of Chinese characters. After the regular script is finalized, there is also the work of identifying regular characters, vulgar characters and typos. The simplification of modern Chinese characters began in the early 20th century, and Qian, Lu Di and others did a lot of work. After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), the China Character Reform Research Committee and China Character Reform Committee were established, and the Simplified Scheme of Chinese Characters was published in 1956. From 65438 to 0964, the China Language Reform Commission edited and published the Summary of Simplified Chinese Characters. 1986, the State Language Committee re-published the Summary of Simplified Chinese Characters, and abolished the Second Edition Simplified Chinese Characters Scheme (Draft) published in 1977. The simplified characters listed in the summary of simplified characters are all standardized forms of popular Chinese characters.
