Japan is the first country in Asia to open to the outside world. During the Meiji period, a large number of Japanese scholars studied in Europe and created many modern Chinese based on western vocabulary. It can be said that Chinese character culture has been well integrated through Japanese and western civilizations. For example, the words "democracy", "freedom", "science", "evolution", "philosophy", "revolution" and "republic" are all written by the Japanese on the basis of Chinese characters combined with advanced western ideas, which can be accepted by the public.

In fact, during the Qing dynasty, domestic scholars also created some new words, but they were not successful. Because that's because China's literati like to show off their literary talent, the more abstruse their writing is, the better their literary talent is, so the problem of popularization is not considered. At that time, words made in China, such as "telephone", could hardly be regarded as telephone for a person who had not studied English, while the Japanese word "telephone" was more popular and easy to understand.

Chinese can be divided into standard language and dialect.

Modern standard Chinese is Mandarin, with Beijing accent as the standard pronunciation. The voice collection place is located in Jingoutun Town, Luanping County, Chengde City, Hebei Province, with Mandarin as the basic dialect and typical modern vernacular as the grammatical norm. In modern standard Chinese, there are four tones besides light tone.

The dialect of Chinese is Chinese everywhere. Generally, families in China are divided into 13 languages (according to the international language code of ISO 639-3), and each language can be divided into films in multiple languages. These thirteen Chinese languages are Mandarin, Jin, Cantonese, Xiang, Wu, Hui, Gan, Hakka, Northern Fujian, Southern Fujian, Eastern Fujian, Central Fujian and Putian.
