Generally speaking Chinese characters is a warehouse, it is probably in the era of the Yellow Emperor. When the word is made, the word is basically pictogram, and many actually is still in use, and very image, such as the "good" word, from ancient times a woman's combination.
Later, when the pictographic word was not enough, there was a meaning and shape, which can be said to be a pioneering, greatly enriched the meaning of Chinese characters. For example, the sun and the moon are clear, that is, a lot of words, a lot of swearing words (eg: roses), China's Chinese characters can have a lot of development, and the impact of conformity will not be described.
Because there is a meaning and shape, the generation of Chinese characters is extremely random, because everyone is very easy to understand the meaning of new words. The current word is basically reasonable, and the top of the ancients has made the most basic glyphs. For example, Wu Zetian believes that there is no name to match her, which makes it a word "曌", so in addition to Wu Zetian, it is almost useless to this word.
The "Cozen Articles" in the Han Dynasty included 3,300 Chinese characters, and the Eastern Han Dynasty "Sewing Solution" included 9,353 Chinese characters. The most complete dictionary in ancient China should be "Kangxi Dictionary", 47035 words. I want Chinese characters, even if there is more, it should also be too much difference from the "Kangxi Dictionary", but actually if a Chinese can know 5000 Chinese characters, it can be said to be a text master. Common Chinese characters probably only about 3,000, can cover 99.9% of the text we look. Now there is 6763 Chinese characters, and I think everyone can don't have a word.
The words Chinese are difficult to learn, because it is too troublesome to write. Traditional word a word has a 10-drawn 20, which is a very common thing. One problem is that the problem is not well written, so the threshold of culture is very high, it takes a long time. Literacy writing. In order to accelerate the popularity of culture, modern China reduces illiteracy, there is a simplified Chinese character ---- Simplified word. It can be seen on TV, Taiwan and Hong Kong use traditional characters, only mainland simplicity.
In fact, the proposal and development of Simple characters have been a long history. Look at the links I will have a probably understanding, the mainland officially implemented is only in 1956, but now I am afraid that there is no obstacle to see the traditional people who can see More, it's more and less written.
Traditional characters and simplified characters are some differences. For example, many traditional Chinese characters can only correspond to a simple word, traditional "complex", "complex", "complex", corresponding to a "complex" word. This needs attention when reading traditional Chinese characters.
Another example is very fun, "pro" word, "see" words, then don't see it; "Love" word is "heart", love is not heart; "production" word No product, factory naturally. This is formed "Dear, love is not heart, no birth, factory empty." So some simplified characters, but it is best to reserve opinions.
One question now is that the word is very irregular. The country is actually stipulated, the company's name is not allowed to use traditional, but the actual holiday words are not a lot. There is also a word, and some simplified characters you have created, such as "Xi" instead of "meal" words. Since there is still a word, "Gold" stroke, the middle is "wood, water, fire" side, "soil" bed bottom, Jinmu water, the soil, the creativity is good, but unfortunately there is no such word . These are not right, since there are Chinese character standards developed by the country, we must do it, it is best not to write the wrong words, etc., you can start from yourself.
Just these.
