Chinese, breaking down their feudalistic customs, aimed to modernize themselves scientifically for their better China basing on Bai Hua Wen, followed by Event 5.4, which was one of the great linguistic performances at the time.
The followings, at the time of establishing Mao Tse Tung's Government, explains well enough for the facts they pursued.
Letterers should be innovated and linguistics does also closer to the peoples.
Letter must be simplified first so that they could reach eventually as they attempted, since the work of phonetic letter needs a lot of time and preparation.
Letter-innovation should be accompanied by phonetic symbol.
And so on.
That is, they thought that the work of the simplication of Chinese letter and gradual letter-phonetic should be established basing on their strong unification of letter nation wide, and then world common letter must be developed soon.
The first letter-innovation in China, 1958 pointed out that,
1. Simplifying letters.
2. Supplying standard language.
3. Indication of spelling by phonetic symbol.
Total 517 Simplified letters were announced through(a plan of the simplication of Chinese letter) from 1956 to 1959 by omitting or correcting partially in a letter.
Chao Po Han emphasized that the work of letter-phonetic, being followed by the simplication of Chinese letter, should be final purpose, but proceeded at the same time.
Also, the second the simplication of Chinese letter work in China, 1977, annou-nced through(a plan of the simplication of Chinese letter) 853 letters, the sum of 248 letters in Table 1 and 605 in Table 2.
A many kinds of dialects were essentially brought in places owing to their large territory and long history. In 1956, government managed to push finally in supplying standard language for a unification of linguistics nation wide.
In the results, the majority of the peoples in China would not to adopt Romanic letter instead of their own way. They have paid attention in many ways to this point for the progress in China. They intend to romanize, another words, through reforming step gradually to phonetic work, and then make standard language spread out widely in whole territosry.
