 | | Simplified Chinese characters (Chinese: 31616;体字 pinyin: jiǎntǐzì, or less frequently 31616;化字 pinyin: jiǎnhuàzì), generally refer to the Chinese characters officially simplified by the People's Republic of China government in an attempt to promote literacy. |
 | | Occasionally, simplified (with respect to Chinese characters) may also be used to refer to the off-the-cuff simplifications employed in hand-writing, which classically are not official but generally widespread. |
 | | Chinese characters in use before this simplification are generally called traditional Chinese characters and remain in widespread use. |
