Chang Yong Zi Zixingbiao : A Study on the Understanding of Hong Kong Primary school Teachers on the Standardized Forms of Common Chinese Characters

POON Wai-yu

Abstract

The Hong Kong Institute of Language in Education published a popular book entitled Chang Yong Zi Zixingbiao about the standardized forms of common Chinese characters in 1986. A recent survey found that many local Chinese teachers did not agree with the forms of some Chinese characters listed in Chang Yong Zi Zixingbiao. In this light, the aim of this paper is to analyze the forms of some Chinese characters so as to provide those teachers with a better understanding of the forms of Chinese characters listed in Chang Yong Zi Zixingbiao. The analysis also found that the forms of some Chinese characters listed in this book should be revised.
