Sample Sentences

我最摸不着头脑的就是把几个意思不同的字合并。头发的“发”和发财的“发”居然一样！
wǒ zuì mō buzháo tóunǎo de jiùshì bǎ jǐ ge yìsi bùtóng de zì hébìng 。tóufa de “fā ”hé fācái de “fā ”jūrán yíyàng ！
The thing I can't wrap my head around are those characters that merge words with different meanings. The word for ''emit" from the compound that means ''hair" and the word for ''to expand" from the word for ''to get rich" are the same!

没错。其实很多简体字早就在民间流行了，从来的“从”和众人的“众”就是笔画简单的古字；专家的“专”和东方的“东”是从草书来的；还有就是把同音字合并为简单的那个字。比如 “皇后”的“后”和“以后”的“后”合并。
méicuò 。qíshí hěn duō jiǎntǐzì zǎo jiù zài mínjiān liúxíng le ，cónglái de “cóng ”hé zhòngrén de “zhòng ”jiùshì bǐhuà jiǎndān de gǔzì ；zhuānjiā de “zhuān ”hé Dōngfāng de “dōng ”shì cóng cǎoshū lái de ；hái yǒu jiùshì bǎ tóngyīnzì hébìng wèi jiǎndān de nà ge zì 。bǐrú “huánghòu ”de “hòu ”hé “yǐhòu ”de “hòu ”hébìng 。
That's right. Actually many simplified characters have been popular among common people for a long time. The words for ''from" and ''crowd" are ancient characters with simplified strokes. The words for ''one" and ''east" came from grass script. There were also some words that merged homophones to make a simpler word. For instance, the words for ''after" and ''behind".
