By 1,400 BC, the Chinese writing system (系统) had become more difficult. It had than 2,500 characters. Around 220 BC in Qin Dynasty, Chinese characters became standardized.

This simpler system is used in the mainland (大陆) of China and Singapore. characters are used in Chinese Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macao. Even with these changes, Chinese writing from 2,200 years ago is still understood today.
