In 1909, 陆费逵 published the paper "普通教育应当采用俗体字" in the inaugural issue of "教育杂志". This was the first time in history that the use of simplified characters was publicly advocated. In 1922, 陆费逵 published a paper "整理汉字的意见", suggesting to adopt simplified characters that have become popular among the people, and to simplify other characters with many strokes. In 1922, 钱玄同 put forward the "Proposal of Reducing the Current Chinese Characters' Strokes" at the Preparatory Committee for the Unification of Mandarin, which was co-signed by 陆基、黎锦熙、杨树达. This is the first specific plan for simplified characters in history, advocating that simplified characters that were only popular in the past should be used as orthodox characters in all formal written languages. The eight methods it proposes to simplify Chinese characters are actually the basis for the current simplified Chinese characters and have far-reaching influence. In 1928, 胡怀琛 published "简易字说", which included more than 300 simplified characters.

Simplified characters have been found in inscriptions in the 南北朝 (4th to 6th centuries). In the 隋 and 唐Dynasties, simplified characters gradually increased, and they were quite common among the people and were called "俗体字". Many simplified words that we use today have already begun to appear at this time, such as 营、寿、尽、敌、继、烛、壮、齐、� �、娄、顾、献、变、灯、坟、驴, etc. In the 唐Dynasty, 严原孙's "干禄字书" and 王仁询's "刊谬补缺切韵 ", both received a lot of vulgar characters. After the 宋gDynasty, with the invention of printing, simplified characters were transferred from inscriptions and handwriting to engraved and printed books, which expanded the popular range of simplified characters and their number greatly increased. According to the "宋元以来俗字谱", there are as many as 6,240 simplified characters used in the 12 types of folk prints in the 宋， 元， 明 and 清 Dynasties, which are combined into a total of 1604 traditional characters, and each traditional character has an average of 3.9 different simplified characters, which are the same as today The simplified characters of 实、宝、听、万、礼、旧、与、庄、� �、虽、医、阳、凤、声、义、乱、台� ��党、归、办、辞、断、罗、会、怜、 怀, etc. total more than 330。
