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 look up characters and create new ones here (very useful, the editor from Zitong Network comes from this, with more comprehensive inclusion of self-created characters within the Chinese character cultural sphere, and provides Songti glyphs).
The following 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', sans-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, as it is also considered hosting).
A total of 324 simplified characters are included, with a size of less than 120kb, mapped in 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, and includes 324 simplified characters. It was abolished in February of the following year.
Although it was implemented for less than four months, it has historical value as the first systematic Chinese character simplification scheme promulgated by the government since modern times.
Although it is another simplified character scheme that was abolished, 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 hardly a few pages of search results.
(Is there an even more obscure Korean abbreviation?)
The following excerpts are from the source file:
- Simplified characters are characters with simplified strokes, easy to recognize and write, different from traditional characters, and can replace traditional characters in writing;
- 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;
- Choose the simplified characters that are more commonly used in society, adopting them first;
- Characters with very simple original strokes are not further simplified.
- The following simplified characters are not adopted:
- Homophonic borrowing, used only in specific regions, such as in the Fujian and Guangdong regions where "杂" is simplified to "什", and in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions where "叶" is simplified to "叶".
Homophonic borrowing is used only in specific places, such as using "姜" instead of "薑" in prescriptions, and "旦" instead of "蛋" in account books. - Simplified characters used as symbols, such as using "刃" instead of "两" in account books.
- Simplified characters shared by multiple characters, such as "广" being the simplified form of both "廣" and "慶".
- Occasionally used, not yet commonly used simplified characters, such as "漢" simplified to "汉", "僅" simplified to "仅".
- Homophonic borrowing, used only in specific regions, such as in the Fujian and Guangdong regions where "杂" is simplified to "什", and in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions 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 simplification is temporarily not done.
This set of Chinese character simplification schemes has many similarities with the current simplified Chinese characters and new Japanese fonts.
For example, characters like "" are the same as the current simplified 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 differences are in certain details compared to the above two versions, and additionally, due to not simplifying certain radicals, it gives me a feeling that is between the two.
