“二简”研究

Research on the Second Simplification of Chinese Character

“二简”废止的原因是多方面的,既有形势变化带来的不利因素,也有它本身措施不当的原因。“二简”主要来自群众自发的简化字,它的先天的不足,造成了方案的混乱。在总体上,“二简”注意到汉字的工具性,没有认识到它的社会性———作为民族文化的标志、文化传承的重要性。“二简”的废止,没有进一步扩大两岸的汉字的差异,有利于书同文。学术界开始打破禁区,对汉字的发展规律作了新的研究,对文字的性质类型有了新的认识,迎来了文字学的复兴和回归,开拓了当代的应用性研究、本体理论研究、历史研究等文字研究的新领域。

The draft of the second simplification of Chinese characters was abolished not only because of changes in politics,but also because of its own inappropriateness.The character simplification draft mainly came from daily life of folks.And this inborn disadvantage caused confusion of draft.As a whole,the draft only took Chinese character as a tool,ignoring its sociality,a sign as ethical culture,and its importance in spreading and inheriting of culture.On the other hand,the abolishment of the draft can avoid enlarging difference in Chinese character between Taiwan and the mainland,which is good to the expectation of Chinese character.The academe has begun to break forbidden zone.They have made new research in development rule of Chinese character,and have had new cognition in property and kind of Chinese character,which means reviving and regressing of character.They have exploited modern application research,noumenon theory research,history research and other new fields in character research.
