What are the standardized Chinese characters?

Standardized Chinese characters are Chinese characters that comply with the normative standards promulgated by the state.

Standardized Chinese characters refer to simplified characters that have been compiled and simplified and officially announced by the state in the form of a character list, as well as inherited characters that have not been compiled and simplified.

The current basis for standardizing Chinese characters is:

The traditional Chinese characters included in the "First Batch Variant Character Collection List" published in 1955 are standard characters, and the corresponding variant characters are non-standard characters. Standard words are no longer used except for surnames and certain special occasions. The "General List of Simplified Characters" and the "General List of Modern Chinese Characters" republished in 1986 both revised the variant characters proposed in the "First Batch of Variant Character List".

The simplified characters included in the "General List of Simplified Characters" approved by the State Council and re-published in October 1986 are standardized characters, while the corresponding traditional characters are non-standard characters. They are generally used in public-facing programs. Discontinue use in this situation.

New glyphs The new glyphs included in the "Modern Chinese Common Character List" released in 1988 are standardized glyphs, while the corresponding old glyphs are non-standard glyphs and will no longer be used.

In addition, there are: "Uniform Character List for Some Measurement Unit Names", "Pronunciation List of Different Pronunciation Words in Mandarin", "Commonly Used Character List in Modern Chinese", "Chinese Character Coded Character Set for Information Exchange·Basic Set" and classic Rare characters and other rare characters in place names approved by the State Council.

The "irregular Chinese characters" include simplified traditional Chinese characters, abolished variant characters, abandoned two simplified characters, and random irregular simplified characters and typos.
