      A thousand years maybe but don't forget even "traditional" Chinese was the simplified form of its day. The traditional chinese we know today is called Song Ti or Song Dynasty script. It's also called Ming Script. This form replaced Kai Shu from the Tang Dynasty which replaced Li Shu before it.

It just so happens that traditional Chinese is probably the most 'traditional' form of Chinese that is used proficiently nowadays, and still manages to retain the history and meaning of kanji. Whereas many of the simplified Chinese kanjis have already become 'meaningless symbols' in a sense

      @maxverner2341 3 ปีที่แล้ว +16

      That's one of the problems that come up when you adopt the words of another language only at the surface level. There are many errors in Japanese kanji that have become "proper" because they were likely copied over from single sources that had the error. For example the Japanese version of sky/heaven has a longer first stroke and a shorter second stroke. This was a style choice in Chinese but not the correct way of writing the word normally. Now it's just the "Japanese" way of writing the word or worse it's why "Japanese script is different than Chinese script."

      @maxverner2341 3 ปีที่แล้ว +29

      It's actually one meaning but the reason why there's a problem is because Japan adopted this term at the surface level without really knowing why it means what it does. So daijoubu means "everything is fine." This is what it means in Chinese as well but within context. da zhang fu literally means a big husband like a big man. And as the big man the man of the household he's responsible for the protection and well being of the family. So he needs for everything to be fine. So the term is used to mean that as a man you need to make sure everything is fine. And then Japan took it as literally everything is fine so now you can be a girl and still say it. A girl in Japan can be a "big husband." 🤦🏽‍

I've went through weekend school (Hoshuuko) in the US and now that I've not taken those cursed kanji tests (or forced to read passages with hard kanji in front of an entire class) for nearly a decade, I find myself illiterate but still totally able understand most of the kanji even if i can't read it out to you. totally relate!

      I thought anything on the 常用漢字 list would be kinda easy for them, was surprised to see Reina doubt herself on 胸 for example. But I guess that happens when you learn the language as a native. Pretty sure if someone tested me on the fine details of Spanish I would make a few mistakes as well.
