1949, People's Republic of China (PRC) was founded. 1952 In February, the China Character Reform Research Committee was established to collect suggestions from scholars who advocated simplification of Chinese characters since the Republic of China. At the end of 1954, the draft of Simplified Chinese Characters was put forward and published in People's Daily in February of 1955. In July, the State Council. 1Oct. 28th 1956+65438, the association adopted the simplified word 5 15 and the simplified word radical 54.

1977, just after the Cultural Revolution, the draft of the Second Simplification Scheme for Chinese Characters was published. 1986 the State Council abolished "two simplified schemes". In the same year, the State Language Committee reorganized by the China Language Reform Commission re-published the summary table of simplified characters, and jointly issued the Notice on Simplified Characters with the Ministry of Culture and the Ministry of Education, unanimously indicating that the glyphs of Chinese characters should be kept stable for a period of time to facilitate application. At this point, Chinese mainland's Chinese character simplification movement has come to an end temporarily.

On June 5438+February, 2000, the National People's Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC) passed the Law on the National Common Language and Characters, which will be implemented on June 5438+0, 2006. The State Council will legally determine the status of Putonghua and standardized Chinese characters as the national common language, and at the same time protect dialects, traditional Chinese characters and variant Chinese characters as cultural heritage, allowing them to exist for a long time in certain areas and specific regions, but not to be abused in Putonghua broadcasting and movies. Actors who play the leading role in movies and TV plays generally have to speak Mandarin. If the content requires it, it is not appropriate to use some dialects too much. The number of films and TV plays using dialects should also be controlled, but local operas are not included.

Implementation status quo

After the implementation of simplified Chinese characters, many people can't understand the inscriptions on previous paintings, ancient books and historical sites, which will lead to the phenomenon of cultural fault, so they advocate "knowing the complexity is simple". In other words, we should encourage writing simplified Chinese characters, but learn more about traditional Chinese characters. Just like reading classical Chinese after the implementation of vernacular Chinese. Many signboards in Chinese mainland often see traditional Chinese characters, such as China Bank, China Industrial and Commercial Bank, China Agricultural Bank, China Southern Airlines and Acer Computer. Christmas cards and New Year cards are mostly traditional Chinese characters, and plaques and calligraphy coexist.

In Beijing, the signboards of "China Haidian Book Shopping City" and "Art College" in Peking University have large embossed characters, and many signboards use more traditional Chinese characters for beauty. But textbooks, publishing houses and televisions all use simplified Chinese characters, but ancient books publishing houses also use traditional Chinese characters. (Students from Taiwan Province Province, Peking University P. 108)

As a unique art, China's calligraphy is not restricted by simplified Chinese characters in Chinese mainland. Because calligraphy is an art, a unique art form in the world and a treasure of China culture. The function of art is not to convey information and record history, so there is no need to use simplified words. In fact, cursive art is a simplified word. Simplifying a multi-stroke word and then expressing a beautiful form is by no means an easy task, which is itself an artistic re-creation.
