The aim of the study is to confirm the essence and value of standard Chinese characters fromthe viewpoint of cultural heritage preservation. The study firstly dissects the glyph transformationof Chinese characters with illustrations that show the character formation development, and thenreveals the different policymaking drives between the Chinese character simplification of China andthe standard Chinese character promotion of Taiwan. Secondly, the study illustrates the three cultural crises caused by the Chinese character simplification: the damage to the artistic nature of Chinesecalligraphy, the barriers to writing brought about by using the simplified glyph, and the inability ofthe simplified glyph to fully express the spirit of the standard Chinese characters. Thirdly, in order to clarify the potential threat being posed to the cultural inheritance of standard Chinese characters, the study emphasizes the significance of preserving standard Chinese characters and offers implicationsfor the preservation of standard characters in Mandarin Chinese teaching.
