Whether to use traditional Chinese characters or simplified Chinese characters is just a matter of habit. Simplified Chinese characters are a new unified form of Chinese characters advocated and implemented by the government after the founding of New China. Nowadays, calligraphy works and other applications advocate simplified characters.
The use of traditional Chinese characters in calligraphy works is caused by the habits of most calligraphers. First of all, in the stage of learning calligraphy, all kinds of ancient copybooks are written in traditional Chinese characters.
Secondly, in the structure of Chinese characters, many traditional characters are full of font structure because of many strokes, while the corresponding simplified characters are less than paintings, and the feeling mechanism is relatively thin, so many people are willing to use traditional characters when writing books.
In addition, some Chinese characters have been merged in the process of simplification, that is, two different words in the original traditional Chinese characters have become one word in the simplified Chinese characters, such as "Fa", and "Fa" and "Cai" in the traditional Chinese characters are two different words. This change has a certain impact on the semantic expression in a specific environment, which may also be the reason why some people prefer to use traditional Chinese characters in calligraphy.
