Chinese Character:
Ancient vs. Modern version

古體字 與 今體字
對照

甲.   Kim Wim vs. Plain Language :

鐘鼎文 與 現代文 :

One "simplifying Step" is skipped, some "corresponding features" were lost.
Therefore, not all of them EASY to be understood nowadays !!!

因為跳過了一層 "簡化過程", 鐘鼎文與今文脫了節.

所以, 現代人看不完全 "懂"!

乙.   Pre- & early-Chin Period vs. Current Characters :

小篆 與 正楷 :

Now, everybody can read & fully understood.

WHY ???

Simplifying changes were being made "correspondingly !"
Readers can comprehend easily.
This is WHY cheng kai can last ages.
Thousands of Years !!!

一切 "簡化" 皆係依照 "原形蛻變" 而達成,
(不離其「宗」、不失其「性」！)
絕無新造.
故 "理解" 容易.

所以, 正楷可以經歷近二千年, 無大變化.
沿用至今, 立於不敗之地 !!!

A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words!

一幅「圖畫」可抵「字」一千！

每一個「漢字」都是一幅「畫」。

How a "character" is constructed
by STROKEs originally ?

GeoStroke is extremely "flexible" !     GeoStroke-abc
