Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese are indispensable for learning Chinese



The longer I serve as the "Japanese" role, the more I will not question the kanji I always use. Because we use kanji to breathe in "Pro" on that road. But, if you incorporate Chinese elements into that kanji, your common sense will change completely. The world of kanji was expandable.

Hello,Takuya SAITO who did a round around the world by bicycle @ Charridermanis. Decline of brain cells that I feel after passing 30 years. I do not notice it when I was young, but unfortunately it seems to be a specification. I can not go back anymore. I want to go against such a sad fate a little, recently, I am addicted to mastering "Pinyin (pronunciation)" which is the pronunciation of Chinese kanji. It makes brain cells work even a little.

◆ High School Chinese


At the high school I attended, I could also choose Chinese class. It was a unitary high school where you can choose lessons like university. Since it seems that it will be needed around the world around the future, of course, I chose Chinese. I got a class properly for 1 year.

Because this lesson was based on simplified Chinese in China, I did not look for Taiwanese or Hong Kong's traditional Chinese character. In both China and the population, China was bigger and I thought that it was simplified to be necessary later. But it was wrong. If you do not know the traditional Chinese character, you can not grasp the meaning of simplified Chinese characters.

◆ New font


The reason is in the new Japanese font. Pre-war Japanese kanji roughly agreed with the traditional Chinese character of Taiwan Hong Kong. It is the kanji we call the old font. The former font will be switched to a simplified new font only if it is used frequently for kanji by postwar kanji reform. So, the new character Kanji was Japanese original.

For example, the kanji "enclosure" is "围" in simplified letters. Although it is a similar character, it is convinced if you see the "besiege" of the traditional Chinese (old font). It was simplifying the daughter of the fast-moving god "daiten." Among the new Japanese fonts, there are kanji that have undergone quite special changes. If you do not know such Chinese character in traditional Chinese (formerly known as font), prediction of simplified Chinese characters will not be added.

As I wrote in the following article, the kanji "ten", the traditional Chinese (the old font) was "Den", and the simplified letter was the "harmony".

◆ Kanji "enclosure"


In the "enclosure" we picked up earlier, "traditional" (old font) "besiege" is "┌" in it.

· Great figure of "mankind"
· Latitude "weft" with thread stitch
· "Hygiene" of hygiene by line arrangement
· "Difference" of difference in shinnou
It is in common.

From that, the kanji "enclosure" will be the same group as "Wei" "Weat" "Mu" "Different". All the reading is also "I". In Chinese (normal talk), it is Pinyin "wei". When digging down more, it is not "ai" but "ia (ι)" kanji.

The old font of the kanji "enclosure" in Japan was "siege". However, when adopting a new character, I will replace Q with "Well" of a well with few strokes. It is the same reading, but the enclosure can not be together because it is "A" for on reading and the well is "kun kun". There is a kun reading called "show" "Sei" separately in the well.


The letters of "Well" are also used to simplify Chinese simplified characters. The Simplified Chinese character "jin 4" is borrowed from the character "jing 3" close to the sound, "progress", the Simplified Chinese character "講 (jiang 3)" is likewise "lecture" It was. "Well" is not linked to "pinyin" of "jing" [jiang] unless it is caught in "Sei" "Show" rather than "I".

Knowing traditional and simplified letters, you will come to mind the kanji that said "enlighten" "latitude" "san" "difference", "well" "advance" "lecture" to "enclosure".

◆ thinking instead of memorizing
I spoke hotly about Kanji called Kanji. But I think that it is like this to remember pinyin in Chinese.

So far I was trying to memorize one word pinyin mechanically. But by that alone no understanding will be born. Recently, if there is one kanji, we value the way we can expand our thinking. When you connect kanji with each other and build a network, you can learn Pinyin in theory. Then you can make study considerably more efficient.

It was always the way to memorize.


But now I try to remember my thoughts and remember it.


By the way, the tone (quartet) is still not found ... ....

◆ Three font types


For that reason, I learned that learning Chinese is ideal that one kanji is distinguished between Japanese, traditional Chinese, simplified Chinese and three glyphs. There are 5 patterns in all.

Japanese: Figure / Traditional: / / Simplified: 图 → 三 三 の 様
Japanese: Work / Traditional: Work / Simplified: Work → Triple Same
Japanese: Black / Traditional Chinese: Black / Simplified: H: Japanese only
Japanese: 痴 / traditional Chinese: 癡 / simplified: → → only differ in traditional characters
Japanese: Right / Traditional Chinese: Right / Simplified:: ♡ → Simplified characters only differ

Like defragmentation that organizes fragmented files in HDD, it organizes the kanji scattered in the brain. A three-character type with no trinity. Kanji that I learned in compulsory education one way, but I can play again once again. Don.

When I do such a thing, I realize that there are such kanji.

Japanese: Shen / Traditional Chinese: Shen / Simplified: Sink
Japanese: Sed / Traditional Chinese: Sediment / Simplified: Sediment

In China (Simplified), "sink" and "sediment" were different kanji.

◆ Kanji Network
Knowing Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese, Kanji Network for memorizing Pinyin spreads.


·Traditional Chinese
The traditional Chinese character of "ko" is "ye". It was a character similar to "Ho" of interest. Of course, there are meanings of "to and" in written language as well. The singer 's "CHAGE and ASKA"' s traditional script is "Asuka Asuka".

Also, the traditional Chinese character "honor" is "praise". "A" is included in the head. "Yo" and "Honor" are read aloud and "Yo" is because "True" is common to "A" and "Honor". So Pinyin is also common with "yu".


·Simplified characters
Simplified characters of "kanji" "ren (ren)" will be "acknowledged". It was the same sound "ren" with little strokes. A person is a phrase that came out even in "high school class" as "I am Japanese". By knowing the simplified letter "Akira", we can now call the traditional verb "author" as "ren".

Simplified Chinese characters "pole (ji)" will be "polar". It was "ai (ji)" of the same sound with little strokes. I did not know, but I used the word "laji" which is Chinese garbage. "Pole" "圾" is the same pronunciation with a different department. By knowing the simplified Chinese "pole", we can now call the traditional character "polar" as "ji".

◆ Twitter bot
There is a twitter bot which I recommend to remember such "Chinese character" "traditional character" "simplified character". Just following you, despite surfing the net, your vocabulary will increase as you go.

Something funny font. It was a kanji entered.


Since the rhinoceros stalks (michi) walks, "Tsubasa" is said to be included. It is a sheep with few strokes in the new character "late". Sheep is also slow?


·Simplified bot
Let's follow here to memorize simplified Chinese characters used in China.

It was a mystery that there are something in common with Japanese new font and Chinese simplified character. I also thought that Japanese kanji reforms from China more quickly "China is referring to Japan?" However, in reality, Kanji has always been simplified on the long history of China.

Kanji called Seki.


He was returning.


"Well (that which represents third person singular, other than human)" is the word that stands for the third person singular pronounced as "other (man)" "她 (female)". I recently listen to this __ "咪咪 MIMI (song of boobs)Well come out to.


When the unknown kanji flows to the timeline, I am retweeting instead of memos.

Although it is now


Both China and Taiwan are kanji, so Japanese people can understand roughly. You can use writing when it comes to an emergency. Actually the trip was manageable somehow. But, there is a pitfall. There was no ambition. I was satisfied with the low level and I was dissatisfied with my study. However, I was aware of it. I have too many kanji that can not be read.

It is the best reason that my Chinese spirit recently watching and listening to "C-POP (Chinese music)" on YouTube is the best. I would like to be able to hear more lyrics. In addition, since it is a neighboring country, Chinese tourists will come to Japan from now on. Chinese should be useful. Because I have experience of traveling, I think that I should extend the Chinese language.

Japan is also a kanji country. As you walk through town, a lot of Kanji characters jump in. Recent my boom to hit Pinyin of such kanji. Although it is gradually remembered, the number of kanji that can be deciphered increases. The brain is activated.

I should have noticed it sooner, but I encourage you to remember those who are studying Chinese, without choosing and choosing traditional simplified characters.
