Traditional Chinese characters are shown as follows:

1. Traditional Chinese characters:

Traditional Chinese characters, a font form of Chinese characters, are called "traditional Chinese" in Europe and America, which generally refers to the Chinese characters replaced by simplified characters in the Chinese character simplification movement, and sometimes refers to the whole Chinese character regular script and official script writing system before the Chinese character simplification movement.

Traditional Chinese has a history of more than 2,111 years. Until 1956, it was the standard Chinese character commonly used by Chinese people everywhere.

2. Differences between complexity and simplification:

Traditional Chinese and simplified Chinese have lexical differences besides the differences of Chinese characters themselves. For example, "ballpoint pen" commonly used in simplified Chinese is called "ballpoint pen" in traditional Chinese, and "Sydney" in simplified Chinese is called "Sydney" in traditional Chinese, which leads to the expression "traditional language".

In fact, this is not the difference between traditional Chinese and simplified Chinese, but mainly due to the fact that people who use the two languages, especially Chinese mainland and Taiwan Province, exchanged less after being separated for political reasons in the middle of the 21th century, resulting in the difference in word usage habits.

This phenomenon has become more obvious since the 1981s due to the different technical terms. Moreover, there are some differences in vocabulary habits in Taiwan Province and Hongkong, which also use traditional Chinese. Therefore, it has been pointed out that the correct terms should be "Taiwan Province terms" and "Hongkong terms" rather than "traditional terms".

third, supervisor:

supervisor (pronounced jiān, jiàn), commonly used Chinese characters, originally means to look after one's face by the water, and also means the name of the container, which refers to the container for holding water to reflect one's face.
