General List Of Simplified Chinese Characters
The ''General List of Simplified Chinese Characters'' () was the standard list of simplified Chinese characters published in China in 1964. It largely ratified and revised the ''Chinese Character Simplification Scheme'' promulgated in 1956, and served as the main reference for the ''List of Commonly Used Standard Chinese Characters'' published in 2013. The ''General List of Simplified Chinese Characters'' was released again in 1986 with some revision, alongside the rescission of the second round of simplified Chinese characters that had been announced in 1977. The General List of Simplified Chinese Characters includes three sub-lists with a total of 2274 simplified characters and 14 simplified components.

Simplified Chinese Characters
Simplified Chinese characters are standardized Chinese characters used in mainland China, Malaysia and Singapore, as prescribed by the '' Table of General Standard Chinese Characters''. Along with traditional Chinese characters, they are one of the two standard character sets of the contemporary Chinese written language. The government of the People's Republic of China in mainland China has promoted them for use in printing since the 1950s and 1960s to encourage literacy. They are officially used in the People's Republic of China, Malaysia and Singapore, while traditional Chinese characters still remain in common use in Hong Kong, Macau, ROC/Taiwan and Japan to a certain extent. Simplified Chinese characters may be referred to by their official name above or colloquially . In its broadest sense, the latter term refers to all characters that have undergone simplifications of character "structure" or "body", some of which have existed for millennia mainly in handwriting alon ...

Chinese Character Simplification Scheme
The Chinese Character Simplification Scheme () is the standardized simplification of Chinese characters promulgated in the 1950s by the State Council of the People's Republic of China. It contains the existing Simplified Chinese characters that are in use today. To distinguish from the later Second round of simplified Chinese characters, this reform is also known as the First Chinese Character Simplification Scheme. History In 1952, the Language Reform Research Committee of China first drafted the ''List of Frequently Used Simplification of Chinese Characters'' (), affirming the principle of "only describing and stating the concepts of the ancient anpeople, not creating ew characters (). The ''Chinese Character Simplification Scheme (Draft)'' was published on 7 January 1955 for public consultation. It consists of three sections: ''List of simplification of 798 characters (draft)'' (), ''List of 400 variant characters intended to be abolished (draft)'' () and ''List of simplific ...

List Of Commonly Used Standard Chinese Characters
The ''List of Commonly Used Standard Chinese Characters'' is the current standard list of 8,105 Chinese characters published by the government of the People's Republic of China and promulgated in June 2013. The project began in 2001, originally named the "Table of Standard Chinese Characters." This table integrates the ''First Batch of Simplified Characters'' (1955), the ''Complete List of Simplified Characters'' (initially published in 1964, last revised in 1986), and the ''List of Commonly Used Characters in Modern Chinese'' (1988), while also refining and improving it based on the current usage of characters in mainland China. After 8 years of development, a draft for public comment was released on August 12, 2009. It was officially promulgated on June 5, 2013, becoming the standard for the use of Chinese characters in general societal applications, and all previously related character lists were discontinued from that date. Of the characters included, 3,500 are in Tier 1 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Second Round Of Simplified Chinese Characters
The second round of Chinese character simplification, according to the official document, Second Chinese Character Simplification Scheme (Draft) ("Second Scheme" or "Second Round" for short) to introduce a second round of simplified Chinese characters, was an aborted orthography reform promulgated on 20 December 1977 by the People's Republic of China (PRC). It was intended to replace the existing ( first-round) simplified Chinese characters that were already in use. The complete proposal contained a list of 248 characters that were to be simplified, as well as another list of 605 characters for evaluation and discussion. Of these, 21 from the first list and 40 from the second served as components of other characters, amplifying the impact on written Chinese. Following widespread confusion and opposition, the second round of simplification was officially rescinded on 24 June 1986 by the State Council. Since then, the PRC has used the first-round simplified characters as its offici ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Chinese Character Components
In Written Chinese, components () are building blocks of characters, composed of strokes. In most cases, a component consists of more than one stroke, and is smaller than the whole of the character. For example, the character consists of two components: and . These can be further decomposed: can be analyzed as the sequence of strokes , and as the sequence . There are two methods for Chinese character component analysis, ''hierarchical dividing'' and ''plane dividing''. Hierarchical dividing separates layer by layer from larger to smaller components, and finally gets the primitive components. Plane dividing separates out the primitive components at one time. The structure of a Chinese character is the pattern or rule in which the character is formed by its (first level) components. Chinese character structures include single-component structure, left-right structure, up-down structure and surrounding structure. Analysis Chinese characters may be analyzed in terms of small ...

State Council Of The People's Republic Of China
The State Council, constitutionally synonymous with the Central People's Government since 1954 (particularly in relation to local governments), is the chief administrative authority of the People's Republic of China. It is chaired by the premier and includes each cabinet-level executive department's executive chief.

Pianpang
Pianpangs ( zh, c=偏旁, p=piānpáng, l=side side) are components in Chinese character internal structures. A compound character is normally divided into two ''pianpangs'' according to their relationship in sounds and meanings. Originally, the left side component of the character was called ''pian'', and the right side ''pang''. Nowadays, it is customary to refer to the left and right, upper and lower, outer and inner parts of a compound characters as ''pianpangs''. Radicals () are indexing components of Chinese characters, and are usually ''pianpangs'' representing the meanings of the characters. Classification There are three categories of ''pianpangs'' in modern Chinese characters: # A component related to (or representing) the meaning of the character is a ''semantic pianpang'' (形旁, 義旁 or 意符). For example: component "扌" (hand) in characters "推" (push) and "拉" (pull), and "心" (heart) in "思" (think) and "忠" (loyal). # A component related to the ...

Table Of Comparison Between Standard, Traditional And Variant Chinese Characters
The Table of Comparison between Standard, Traditional and Variant Chinese Characters () is the new standard of the PRC on the relationship between simplified, traditional and variant Chinese characters. It includes all the characters in the List of Commonly Used Standard Chinese Characters which have different forms in traditional or variant writing.

It contained 810 groups of variant characters, totaling 1865 characters. According to the principle of following the common and simple, one character from each group was selected as the correct (or standard) form, and the rest are eliminated. After some later adjustments, the list n ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
