Excuse me, when did small regular characters and simplified Chinese characters first appear?

To put it simply, Xiaozhuan was used by the people of the Qin Dynasty. Traditional regular script gradually evolved from the official script of the Han Dynasty, and began to mature and take shape in the Wei and Jin Dynasties. It is still used in Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, Korea and the southern part of mainland China and on special occasions. Simplified characters have existed in all dynasties, but traditional characters have always been the main body. Both the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government and the Republic of China government implemented simplified Chinese characters, but the popularity rate was not high. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, simplified characters were forcibly implemented, and simplified characters officially entered the stage of history and became the traditional Chinese characters in mainland China.

When TV dramas are written in small regular script, it would be wrong if they depict events from the Han Dynasty and before. As for writing simplified characters, if it happens occasionally, it is excusable. After all, many simplified characters have existed since ancient times. It would be a joke if the entire article were written in simplified Chinese.

By the way, let’s talk about the general evolution of Chinese characters. In the Shang Dynasty, the main characters were oracle bone inscriptions, and in the Western Zhou Dynasty, the main characters were bronze inscriptions. The Spring and Autumn Period was similar to that of the Western Zhou Dynasty, but the unique characteristics of the Six Kingdoms scripts have emerged. During the Warring States Period, the princes competed with each other, and the characters were shaped and varied. Each country had its own obvious characteristics. Among them, the characters of Qin were relatively conservative and retained many of the Western Zhou and Spring and Autumn characters. After the establishment of the Qin Dynasty, Xiaozhuan was used as the standard font to unify the national script. At the same time, official script has gradually begun to circulate as a practical font.

In the Han Dynasty, official script began to mature and gradually occupied a dominant position. Zhang Cao invented. The maturity of official script marks the progress of Chinese characters from ancient characters to modern characters. Small regular script appeared in the Wei and Jin Dynasties and gradually replaced official script as the mainstream font.

Japan's "List of Chinese Characters for Use" published in 1946 simplified 131 Chinese characters. 53 of them are the same as the later simplified Chinese characters.

In 19⑥4, the mainland implemented simplified characters, which summarized the simplified characters, hand-written characters, and typos that appeared in the past dynasties, replaced characters with complicated strokes, and used them as standard fonts, which are still used today.

Singapore began to announce a simplification plan in 1969. In May 1976, it promulgated a revised version of the "General List of Simplified Chinese Characters", which was eventually the same as the simplified characters in mainland China.

Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, Korea and overseas Chinese basically insist on using traditional Chinese characters as traditional Chinese characters.
