Online Traditional Chinese

The modern Chinese character simplification movement originated from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. In order to improve the literacy rate, simplified characters were written in the imperial seals and official documents. During the Republic of China, the Chinese government promoted the simplification of Chinese characters on a large scale, but it was later abolished after strong opposition from all walks of life. On January 28, 1956, the State Council issued the "Resolution on the Announcement of the "Chinese Character Simplification Plan", and mainland China began to comprehensively implement the simplified Chinese characters. In the 1970s, there were a batch of two simplified characters, which were later abolished. The term "traditional Chinese characters" is only used when a character has a simplified character. If a certain Chinese character does not have a corresponding simplified character, it falls into the category of inherited characters.
