What are the Japanese pseudonyms?

Japanese kana includes hiragana and katakana. Hiragana originated from the cursive script of Chinese characters and has been officially used since the ninth century. Katakana originated from the regular script of Chinese characters and has been officially used since the tenth century. Katakana was created by Kibi No Asomi Makibi in the Tang Dynasty who simplified the regular script of Chinese characters, while Hiragana was created by scholar and monk Konghai in the Tang Dynasty who simplified the cursive script of Chinese characters.

The difference between hiragana and katakana

Hiragana comes from the cursive script of Chinese characters and looks very round. Katakana comes from the regular script of Chinese characters, and it certainly looks angular. At present, Hiragana is used for phonetic symbols of Japanese characters and standard Japanese, and Katakana is mostly used for transliteration of foreign words and special purposes such as advertisements and public signs.

Hiragana was born for writing songs and stories. Katakana was born to interpret Chinese. The founder of the former is a woman, and the author of the latter is a man.

Because Ye Wan, a court female general, has been copied intensively for many years, and all the Chinese characters under Ye Wan's pseudonym have a fixed pronunciation and are written, the Chinese characters are virtually simplified and become cursive fonts. Over time, they became hiragana.

Maids who want to learn Chinese or elites admitted to universities have to add all kinds of auxiliary words and symbols formed by disassembling Chinese characters next to Chinese in order to pronounce Chinese as the inherent pronunciation of Japan. These auxiliary words and symbols are katakana.
