简化字源

《简化字源》主要内容：Since the promulgation of“The Scheme of　Simplified Chinese Characters”in l 956．the　simplified Chinese characters have been u sed　widely，not only in China's mainland．but abroad as　well．However．there iS a common misconception　about the simplified character．Some people　believed that it was merely the result of the reform　of the Chinese writing system made during the '50s．

The truth，as the author of this book has　discovered in his research．iS that the process of　character simplification has been going on since　ancient time．Carefully examining eltant relics　and other historicaI records，the author has　proven that this process of simplifying Chinese　characters iS one that has been common practice　tor many many generations

We hope the publication of this book wilI help　to achieve beEer understanding and wilI result in　increased study and application of simplified　Chinese characer， and clear up the　miscOnceDtiOn of some people as well．
