Advantages and disadvantages of promoting the unification of traditional Chinese characters and the unification of writing with brushes for China

1. Some simplified characters do not conform to the scientific nature of Chinese characters. For example, in the character for love, a heart is missing, resulting in heartless love. I would like to ask, how many such simplified characters are there? Are there any simplified characters that are more compatible with art and science? Can we restore only the simplified characters that do not conform to art and science? Can the rest of the simplified characters remain unchanged? Or is it possible to simplify the existing Chinese characters once again, and create a brand-new character that is easy to recognize, easy to learn, easy to write, easy to use in computers, and beautiful in terms of art and science, on the basis of phonetics, morphology, and meaning?

2. Is it really as easy to input traditional and simplified Chinese characters into a computer? I think that if you use the full-pinyin input method that is of course the same, then how about using today's most popular five-stroke input method? For example, which one is easier to type the traditional and simplified form of the Chinese character "义"? When we type five strokes, we usually have the glyphs in our mind first, and then we split the roots of the characters in our mind. The traditional Chinese character for righteousness is definitely more difficult to split than the simplified Chinese character for righteousness, of course, because the brain thinks about things very fast, and the difference in the speed of the brain's splitting of traditional and simplified characters is very tiny from the point of view of a single character, but if we type a large number of characters, can the difference be ignored? Besides, computers cannot completely replace our handwriting at present, don't we still often write by hand? Don't primary school students still learn to write by hand? In addition, simplified Chinese characters than traditional Chinese characters to save ink, perhaps you will laugh: this ink also need you to rare? It's too much of a fuss, isn't it? However, in my eyes, atoms and molecules are also very, very, very small, so can we not be blind to the things around us? Because they are all made up of atoms or molecules! All over the country, how many books and newspapers are printed in a year? How many documents are copied? At least in billions or even tens of billions, right? A little goes a long way, and a lot goes a long way, so how much ink is used? If simplified Chinese characters are replaced by traditional ones, even if only one percent more ink is used for each character, it is still a considerable amount, right? Of course, if you think it's a financial crisis and you need to expand domestic demand and deliberately waste some resources, that's another story.

3. Taiwan is going to make a bid for traditional Chinese characters, which is perfect. As we all know, the roots of Taiwan's culture in the mainland, the roots of traditional Chinese characters are also in the mainland, traditional Chinese characters is the cultural heritage of the entire Chinese nation, of course, belongs to both Taiwan, also belongs to the mainland, by the mainland for its heritage or by Taiwan for its heritage or are for the culture of the entire Chinese nation heritage, are in the good for all of the children of the Yellow Emperor. This is like washing dishes, dad wash or son wash, are household chores, family members who do the same. However, it does take some effort to apply for the heritage, and we should be happy that Taiwan wants to take the initiative to share some of the household chores. Moreover, we on the mainland have not discarded traditional Chinese characters, we on the mainland have only put some of them in libraries (some are still in use, and in fact are stored in computers), which is like other artifacts in museums, libraries are museums that store artifacts such as traditional Chinese characters. Can something placed in a museum not be applied for inscription? Even if it can not be applied for, it does not matter, can not be applied for, that is only the form, traditional Chinese characters belong to the cultural heritage of the entire Chinese nation this fact has not changed, and will never change!
