A thousand years maybe but don't forget even "traditional" Chinese was the simplified form of its day. The traditional chinese we know today is called Song Ti or Song Dynasty script. It's also called Ming Script. This form replaced Kai Shu from the Tang Dynasty which replaced Li Shu before it.

@hazensze4490 4 года назад

@@maxverner2341 haha actually yea you're right but tbh anything other than cavemen writing could have been more 'traditional'. It just so happens that traditional Chinese is probably the most 'traditional' form of Chinese that is used proficiently nowadays, and still manages to retain the history and meaning of kanji. Whereas many of the simplified Chinese kanjis have already become 'meaningless symbols' in a sense

@maxverner2341 4 года назад

That's one of the problems that come up when you adopt the words of another language only at the surface level. There are many errors in Japanese kanji that have become "proper" because they were likely copied over from single sources that had the error. For example the Japanese version of sky/heaven has a longer first stroke and a shorter second stroke. This was a style choice in Chinese but not the correct way of writing the word normally. Now it's just the "Japanese" way of writing the word or worse it's why "Japanese script is different than Chinese script."

“大丈夫“ 3 words, 2 languages, 2 meanings… the languages are Japanese and Chinese

@maxverner2341 4 года назад

It's actually one meaning but the reason why there's a problem is because Japan adopted this term at the surface level without really knowing why it means what it does. So daijoubu means "everything is fine." This is what it means in Chinese as well but within context. da zhang fu literally means a big husband like a big man. And as the big man the man of the household he's responsible for the protection and well being of the family. So he needs for everything to be fine. So the term is used to mean that as a man you need to make sure everything is fine. And then Japan took it as literally everything is fine so now you can be a girl and still say it. A girl in Japan can be a "big husband." 🤦🏽‍

I've always thought that learning Japanese could be fun but Kanji has really pushed me away from even trying. If I'm being perfectly honest this video showed me how fun kanji can be. I literally went and looked at random kanji for random words not even with the intent to learn them. Uneven surface and forest single handedly made me interested in Kanji.

@dacypher22 4 года назад

To anyone wondering about the "Swaztika" being a kanji (it actually isn't, as the spiral arms are pointing the other direction), this is actually a Hindu symbol meaning spirituality. It spread from Hinduism to Buddhism thousands of years ago and from there it was brought to China as part of the Buddhism Asian migration and from there it spread with the other Chinese characters to Japan. Thousands of years later, the Nazi leadership was oddly into the occult (seriously, look it up) and co-opted the symbol from Hinduism. To many Asian cultures, it would be like the English word "heart" becoming incredibly offensive and being tied to racist regimes in other cultures. Would we stop using the word? No. That is our English word and it still would mean the same thing here.
