碩士 / 國立新竹教育大學 / 人資處語文教學碩士班 / 95 / Many variances exist between our National Standard Chinese Characters (also known as Traditional Chinese Characters), published in 1982 by Ministry of Education in Taiwan, and the Simplified Chinese Characters popularized in the Mainland China. These two character systems differ mainly in their callings of the brush strokes, written sequences, and the forms of the written characters.
In recent years, the “China Fever” has brought tremendous values and prosperities to China’s Economics and in turns political environments. More and more people from the world are learning Chinese using the prevailing Simplified Character method due to its simplicity and popularity. The existence of the Traditional Chinese Characters has being severely threatened. It is incredibly urgent for us to find a way to maintain our system’s competitiveness. To keep it competitive with the Simplified Chinese Character, one of the critical points is whether the information exchanges in the Traditional Chinese Characters through computers or other medias are as free, efficient and convenient as they are in the English system.
Therefore, it is very important for us to compare the two Chinese character systems and find ways to communicate each other. The purpose of this study is to compare and analyze the differences between this two character systems, in their callings of the brush strokes, written sequences, and the forms of written characters, based on the vocabularies included in lower graders’ teaching materials at elementary schools. These comparisons and analyses are intended to provide suggestions to our educational authorities for their considerations.
The objectives of this study are to compare and analyze the callings of the brush strokes, written sequences and the forms of written characters, as well as to identify the causes of the variances existing between the two character systems.
The study results are summarized as follows:
Ⅰ. Variances in the callings of the brush strokes
i. Single and non-turning brush strokes
ii. Turning brush strokes
Ⅱ. Variances in the written sequences
i. Variances in the radicals, the remainders, and the sums of the brush strokes
ii. Variances in the written sequences in forming characters, and the sums of the brush strokes.
Ⅲ. Variances in the forms of written characters
i. Slight variances:
1. The styles of written strokes differ but the sums of the strokes are the same
2. The stroke connections and crossings differ but the sums of total strokes are the same
