Rebecca:
What is the Symbol of Taiwan?
Chinese characters are unique symbols. They were created in the Shun dynasty
and have lasted for thousands of years. Why do I think they are the symbol of
Taiwan? Because now there are two kinds of Chinese characters used. The
original writing is more complicated than the other one which was created
recently by Chinese people who live on the mainland of China. The new
simplified writing is used in China and was created to save time in writing.
Chinese characters are symbolic words. In order to develop the economy, most of
the Chinese only know the simplified Chinese characters instead of the original
Chinese characters. According to it, they don't know the source of the Chinese
characters. But in Taiwan, we still use the complicated characters as our
ancestors did. In brief, whenever you see the complicated Chinese characters,
they are the symbols of Taiwan!
