Ancient and Modern Chinese Characters (汉字)
When people write in English they use letters of the alphabet (字母表). People who write in {#blank#}1{#/blank#}, however, use characters that stand for words or ideas. Historians believe Chinese {#blank#}2{#/blank#} began as early as 1,500 BC. The earliest forms were called "oracle bones (甲骨文)". These were animal bones marked with pictures and {#blank#}3{#/blank#}. By 1,400 BC, the Chinese writing system (系统) had become more difficult. It had {#blank#}4{#/blank#} than 2,500 characters. Around 220 BC in Qin Dynasty, Chinese characters became standardized. This means that everyone used the {#blank#}5{#/blank#} characters.
Many {#blank#}6{#/blank#} 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 {#blank#}7{#/blank#} man from the Jiantizi, or modern simplified system, of the twentieth century.
People have worked to {#blank#}8{#/blank#} Chinese characters over the centuries. The most important changes happened in the twentieth century. The Chinese government simplified many characters {#blank#}9{#/blank#} more people could learn to {#blank#}10{#/blank#}. This simpler system is used in the mainland (大陆) of China and Singapore. {#blank#}11{#/blank#} 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.
