I am a student in Taiwan and I would like to know what you think about Traditional Chinese characters and simplied ones. I think traditional chinese characters are much more beautiful than simplied ones.
Traditional Chinese characters are made by the six categories -- self-explanatory, characters pictographs, pictophonetic characters, associative compounds, mutually explanatory characters, phonetic loan characters. So, each character is meaningful. However, Simplified Chinese characters are now widely used all around the globe. It's a shame that the traditional now is used only in Taiwan and Hong Kong. I still love the traditional ones for its symbol of Chinese culture although it is much easier to write the simplified ones. What do you think about it?
example: traditional:龍的傳人、中華文化、歷史悠久、廣博無窮 simplified:龙的传人、中华文化、历史悠久、广博无穷
