Now that simplified Chinese characters have been popularized in many places, why are traditional Chi

Due to the influence of a specific historical period, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan have been out of touch with China for a long time, so they have no concept and professional learning of simplified Chinese characters at all.

Usage habit. They have always used traditional Chinese characters, which is a habit they have developed since childhood.

Chinese characters were basically finalized from the Tang Dynasty until the promulgation and implementation of the "Chinese Character Simplification Scheme" in the fifties after the founding of the People's Republic of China. Of course, there is no such thing as a traditional Chinese system before there is a prescribed simplified character system. Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan have the same root as the mainland, and they have always used traditional Chinese characters.

This is also the influence of the local culture, they prefer this font, so they have been using this font, which is also a special local culture.

Because these places have a soft spot for traditional characters, they have continued this character to the present, which is an inheritance of cultural traditions.

Because China practices one country, two systems, traditional Chinese characters have been used in these places.

The return is short, the habits have not been changed, it takes time to transition, and the teaching materials need to be changed first.

needlesIn this case, Hong Kong is because it was taken over by the British**, so the simplified Chinese character was reformedThe wave did not become popular, also becauseThe existence of "one country, two systems" has led to the existence of traditional Chinese characters in Hong Kong. In Taiwan, due to the original political legacies, the reform of simplifying the system has not been implemented.

In the case of Hong Kong and Taiwan, in fact, it is due to the original political or historical legacy problems, which have led to the lack of effective implementation of simplified Chinese characters between each other. And because many older generations of people have become accustomed to distinguishing and writing traditional Chinese characters in their lives, they have not forcibly asked for changes.

Hong Kong was once taken over by the British**, and there was no simplified Chinese character reform that spread to China.

Because of the situation of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, Taiwan has not implemented the simplified Chinese reform.

In response to this problem, China has adopted the "one country, two systems" approach, respecting the habits of the local people.

Chinese characters were the result of the comprehensive implementation of script reform in Chinese mainland in 1949, and Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau were not under the jurisdiction of the mainland at that time, so traditional characters were still used.

After all, there is still a certain gap between Taiwan, Hong Kong, and the mainland, although the Chinese culture is very different, but China has long used simplified characters, and they still use traditional Chinese characters in the past, which proves that their traditional thinking still exists.

It is because they did not develop the language with the mainland, they may be used to it, and they also regard traditional Chinese characters as a cultural reservation.

In Hong Kong, traditional Chinese characters are used. Hong Kong's cultural heritage follows that before the Opium War, when traditional Chinese characters were used, and when the mainland implemented simplified characters, Hong Kong could not control Hong Kong, so Hong Kong has always used traditional Chinese characters. The vast majority of Hong Kong people believe that traditional Chinese characters can better reflect the essence of traditional Chinese culture than simplified Chinese characters, and more completely inherit traditional Chinese culture, while simplified Chinese characters are nondescript and give up many of the essence of Chinese culture.

The development of Chinese charactersChinese characters have been developed for more than 3,000 years, and it has evolved several times over a long period of time before becoming the simplified Chinese characters we use today. As the oldest script in the world, Chinese characters are not set in stone. From the creation of characters in Cangjie, to the oracle bone inscriptions and golden inscriptions in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and then to the unification of Chinese characters by Qin Shi Huang with official scripts, Chinese characters have evolved for 5,000 years to have the words you see in your eyes at this time.

The difference between the traditional Chinese characters of "Taiwan" and the traditional characters of "Hong Kong":

1. Hong Kong traditional Chinese is the upper and lower structure, while Taiwanese traditional Chinese is the left and right structure.

For example, Hong Kong's "li" is written as "li", such as in the heart, in the rain, and in the dream. And Taiwanese writing "li", in the heart, in the rain, in the dream.

These two words are "clothes + li", Hong Kong traditional is the upper and lower structure, the "li" is stuffed into the middle of the "clothes", while the Taiwanese traditional is the left and right structure, the left clothes and the right li.

2. Hong Kong traditional Chinese is a little older than Taiwanese traditional Chinese.

For example, the word "for" in Hong Kong** is written as "for", and the word "for" in Taiwan** is written as "for". There is no difference in the meaning of these two words, only the way they are written is different, and the reason why they are written differently is that the etymology is different.

Hong Kong's "for" is an evolution of the pre-Qin era of Jin Wen and Xiao Seal.

And Taiwan's "for" ** in the Han Dynasty after the evolution of the official script and regular script.

Introduction to Traditional Chinese characters

Traditional Chinese characters, a form of Chinese characters, are called "traditional Chinese Chinese" in Europe and the United States, which generally refers to the Chinese characters that have been replaced by simplified characters by the simplification movement of Chinese characters, and sometimes also refers to the entire writing system of regular script and official script before the simplification movement of Chinese characters. Chinese Traditional has a history of more than 2,000 years, and until 1956, it was the standard word for Chinese used among Chinese everywhere.

The "General List of Simplified Characters" collects 2274 simplified characters and 14 simplified characters such as 讠 [訁], 饣 [飠], 纟 [糹], 钅 [釒], etc., simplified Chinese characters ** include vulgar characters, ancient characters, cursive script, etc., and also include the merger of Chinese characters, such as the "back" of "back" and the "queen" of "queen", which were originally two words in traditional Chinese characters, and in order to omit strokes, they were replaced by "after" with fewer strokes.

Traditional Chinese characters are generally used in Hong Kong.

The official languages (not called "official languages") of Hong Kong are Chinese and English, while the language policy of ** is "biliteracy and trilingualism", i.e. the use of Chinese vernacular and English in writing, and Cantonese, Putonghua and English in spoken language. Cantonese is the main language spoken by the Chinese population in Hong Kong, while English is the communicative language of the non-ethnic Chinese population. Since Hong Kong was still a British colony when Chinese mainland simplified characters were introduced, the most commonly used Chinese character script in Hong Kong was Chinese Traditional.

Traditional Chinese characters are generally used. Due to the impact of the former British colony, its education system and social environment, traditional Chinese characters have always been used as the main form of written expression. Traditional Chinese characters are also part of cultural traditions and are widely used in printed publications, advertisements, logos, and official documents.

However, in recent years, with the increase in the popularity and influence of simplified characters in Chinese mainland, simplified characters have also been used to a certain extent, especially in some commercial and official occasions. In general, although traditional characters are used more, they are used on both sides.

In fact, the Chinese characters used in Taiwan are not really traditional characters, but are orthographic characters promulgated after 1950. The writing is very different from the ancient font, and it is also a simplification, but Wanwan is not willing to be the same as the mainland. For example, 台 (台), which refers to the table on which items are placed or things such as an offering table, and the two words do not agree with the same sound.

The latter two words are the same word disagreement, and the meaning needs to be judged according to the context. In contrast, Hong Kong uses the true traditional Chinese characters. For example, "for" (Taiwan) and "for" (Hong Kong), the latter is closer to Xiao Seal.

With the increase in exchanges between the mainland and Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, the people of Hong Kong and Taiwan also feel that simplified Chinese characters are more convenient for ordinary writing, so they also add a large number of simplified Chinese characters to their usual letters, but the authorities do not advocate it.

In fact, the simplified characters in the Japanese version are more thorough than those in Chinese mainland. We still retain the basic structure of ancient Chinese characters, and some of them have changed it differently than they intended. We have also borrowed a lot from them, so to speak, on the basis of them, we have developed our characteristics.

Aesthetic feeling! Traditional Chinese characters are cumbersome to write in today's Chinese characters. But.

Traditional Chinese characters are full. It's troublesome to look at the verbosity and write. It looks full of Chinese feeling.

After being bombarded by the indiscriminate bombardment of the so-called calligraphy masters, the ugly words of the characters are ugly. Only then did I find that traditional Chinese characters are really detailed. Put an end to the messy calligraphy that you can't see.

Draw with dignity and integrity. Filled from the outside to the inside. It's a little messy.

Immediately a big lump. Words are like people. People who often write traditional Chinese characters pay special attention to detail.

Cleansing oneself and enriching one's heart. Felt like home. It's full of square inches.

Not less. That's nice!

I'm interested in traditional Chinese characters, so I learned traditional Chinese characters by myself, and I felt troublesome at first, but I didn't feel troublesome after writing for a long time, but a sentence in traditional Chinese and simplified Chinese writing compared to writing traditional Chinese hands is really tired, and it is indeed convenient to use simplified Chinese, but you can't abolish traditional Chinese characters, otherwise in case of unearthed cultural relics and ancient books in the future, no one will know what is written.

Traditional Chinese characters are the traditional way of writing our Chinese characters. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, we simplified the Chinese characters, while they continued to follow the tradition. In fact, it should be the same when you are used to writing, and you won't feel troublesome.

If you are used to writing, you won't feel troublesome, mainlanders say that simplified Chinese characters are to popularize the literacy of ordinary people, but what the common people lack is an opportunity to learn, not the number of strokes of the word, no opportunity, no matter how simple the strokes are, they don't know. Besides, now it's all typing with computer pinyin, and strokes are not a problem.

Both simplified and traditional Chinese characters are Chinese characters! "Promote simplified Chinese characters and inherit traditional Chinese characters" is the best! Our Chinese characters are all stories!

Chinese culture is broad and profound, and has a long history! For example: "'Dust' and 'dust'."

Traditional Chinese illustrates that the deer walks through the dirt and is dusty; Simplified description Dust is small dirt. Both simplified and traditional can convey the meaning of each word. "The coexistence of simplicity and tradition is the best!

In the eyes of some of them, simplified characters are equal to "remnant characters", and Hong Kong's society has always been a society that uses this traditional Chinese character, among which, of course, it has something to do with politics, and some words in the mainland are really simplified, and it is estimated that it is more difficult to accept in Hong Kong and Taiwan society.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, our mainland simplified Chinese characters, but at that time Hong Kong and Taiwan did not return, so Chinese mainland's policies could not be implemented in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and the people of Hong Kong and Taiwan did not want to use simplified characters, because traditional Chinese characters may have more Chinese characteristics.

Support simplified characters,The basic function of the text is to record expression,Obviously, simplified characters are more convenient and efficient,As for the aesthetic inheritance, you can hand over to calligraphy,And simple does not mean that it is not beautiful,Cursive is simpler than simplified characters,Don't you think it's beautiful。

Taiwan's primary education is to learn orthographic characters, traditional Chinese characters are troublesome to write, and there are many strokes, but it has inherited history and culture, and every word has a story, which is of great significance for preserving this culture.

Not using traditional Chinese characters is not to find benefits! Simplified Chinese literacy is okay, and continuing to learn Chinese will be a problem! Words are the carrier of culture, and the carrier is a simplified version, and the lack of culture is inevitable!

The main reason is that the current simplified Chinese characters are really too child's play. Zhao doesn't have to change the word, you have to change Xiao to a fork. The meaning and pronunciation of the shot should be reversed at all. Many words have been changed to the point where they no longer have their previous meanings!

People have done well in basic education many years ago! Chinese mainland is easy to engage in basic education! After all, traditional Chinese characters are not easy to remember and write for beginners!

I tell you from my experience.

Actually, it's okay. In addition to copying texts is tiring.

Just write habits.

--Bottle CITIC from Taiwan

Someone uses it, at least it can be passed on, whether it is good or not is not what you and I evaluate, since the person who uses it has not given up, it has its unique place. We can see why it has to be simplified.

Traditional Chinese characters mainly retain the handwriting of ancient civilizations, and it is also good to have Taiwan and Hong Kong. Otherwise, people in the future will not be able to recognize traditional Chinese characters.

Because they're used to it, they feel like it's a normal word, so they don't bother. But it's very troublesome for us.

Traditional Chinese characters have been a long-standing habit in Hong Kong, and they are a cultural characteristic retained in Hong Kong. Moreover, it is very difficult to promote simplified Chinese characters in Hong Kong, which has led to the current situation that traditional Chinese characters are still used in Hong Kong.

In 1956, when our country had just been established, everything was in a state of ruin, and the reform of Chinese characters was also put back on the agenda, and in 1971, our country officially restored the seat of the United Nations General Assembly, and the simplified Chinese characters also became one of the official languages of the United Nations, which was recognized by all countries in the world. When China simplified Chinese characters, Hong Kong had not yet returned to China, and Taiwan was also in chaos, so Hong Kong and Taiwan failed to catch up with this wave of Chinese character reform, so they still use traditional Chinese characters, and today, people there have become accustomed to using traditional Chinese characters, even if they see the benefits of simplified Chinese characters, they are not willing to change them easily.

On the one hand, there is the inheritance of historical traditions. On the other hand, simplicity and complexity have always been relative, just as Chinese is considered the most difficult language in the world, but even some Chinese who can learn Chinese find English particularly difficult. Therefore, for Hong Kong people, traditional Chinese characters are not necessarily complicated, not to mention that traditional and simplified characters are actually the same, which does not prevent the two sides from distinguishing them.
