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 means that everyone used the characters.
Many Chinese characters are similar to those from 2,000 years ago. For example, the character that means man in the Lishu system from 200 BC is similar to the character that man from the Jiantizi, or modern simplified system, of the twentieth century.
People have worked to Chinese characters over the centuries. The most important changes happened in the twentieth century. The Chinese government simplified many characters more people could learn to . 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.
