GlyphWiki is a wiki system that manages Chinese character glyph information.
It registers and manages many rare Chinese characters in Songti font and provides a set of HTML5-based online glyph editing system (open source).
I often check characters and create new characters here (very useful, the editor from Zi Tong Wang comes from this, which has a more complete collection of self-created characters within the Chinese character cultural sphere, and provides Songti glyphs).
Here is the code part:
<style>
@font-face {
font-family: 'ROC';
src: url('https://zht.glyphwiki.org/font/gw1522812.ttf') format('truetype');
}
body {
font-family: 'ROC', serif;
}
</style>
The font file comes from the GlyphWiki website (Japan), and the access speed in China is generally average. For large-scale use, it is still recommended to host it on your own website or CDN (this site is somewhat helpless, after all, it is also hosted).
A total of 324 simplified characters are included, with a size of less than 120kb, mapped to Unicode - Supplementary Private Use Area A.
Using code points from U+F0000 to U+F0324.
You can use the font manager built into your device for input.
If the character you want to use is not in this character table, please use the commonly used glyphs at that time (or traditional characters), or simplify by analogy.
Returning to the title, the "First Batch of Simplified Chinese Characters" was published by the Ministry of Education of the Nanjing National Government on August 21, 1935, including 324 simplified characters. It was abolished in February of the following year.
Although it was implemented for less than four months, it holds historical value as the first systematic Chinese character simplification scheme promulgated by the government since modern times.
Although it is also an abolished simplified character scheme, unlike the more well-known Second Simplified Characters (which has complete Song/Kai/Hei fonts), this version is little known on the Chinese internet, with only a few pages of search results.
(A more obscure one is Korean Abbreviations?)
The following excerpts are from the source file:
- Simplified characters are those with simplified strokes, easy to recognize and write, distinct from traditional characters, and can replace traditional characters.
- The simplified characters listed in this table include colloquial characters, ancient characters, cursive script, etc. Colloquial characters such as "体，宝，岩，蚕，" ancient characters such as "气，无，処，广，" and cursive script such as "时，实，为，会，" are all commonly used.
- The "First Batch of Simplified Chinese Characters" has three principles for character selection:
- The principle of description rather than creation;
- Select commonly used simplified characters in society, adopting them first;
- Original characters with very simple strokes are not further simplified.
- The following simplified characters are not adopted:
- Homophonic borrowing, used only in specific regions, such as in Fujian and Guangdong where "杂" is simplified to "什，" and in Jiangsu and Zhejiang where "叶" is simplified to "叶."
Homophonic borrowing is used only in certain places, such as using "姜" instead of "薑" in prescriptions, and "旦" instead of "蛋" in ledgers. - Simplified characters used as symbols, such as using "刃" instead of "两" in ledgers.
- Simplified characters shared by multiple characters, such as "广" being the simplified form of "廣" and "慶."
- Occasionally used, yet to be commonly accepted simplified characters, such as "漢" simplified to "汉，" and "僅" simplified to "仅."
- Homophonic borrowing, used only in specific regions, such as in Fujian and Guangdong where "杂" is simplified to "什，" and in Jiangsu and Zhejiang where "叶" is simplified to "叶."
- Radicals such as "言，" "鸟，" "马，" "糸，" etc., if simplified, would change many Chinese characters, and carving character molds is time-consuming, so they are temporarily not simplified.
This set of Chinese character simplification schemes shares many similarities with the current simplified Chinese characters and the new Japanese fonts.
For example, characters like "" are the same as the current simplifications in Chinese and Japanese characters.
Characters like "" are the same as the current simplified Chinese characters.
Characters like "" are the same as the current simplified Japanese characters.
There are also characters like "" that differ from the current simplified Chinese and Japanese characters.
Some details differ from the above two versions, and due to the non-simplification of certain radicals, it gives me a feeling that is between the two.
