This analysis is generally based on graphical forms, without considering aspects like pronunciation and meaning.
Component analysis is also used in Chinese character encoding for computer input.
Hierarchical dividing can display the external structure of Chinese characters, while plane splitting can be regarded as omitting the higher splitting levels, and directly writing out the final separating result of primitive components.
[3] The rules for hierarchical dividing include: [7] The hierarchical analysis of character 戇 in (1) bracketed representation: or in tree structure: The level to which a Chinese character is to be analyzed or divided depends on actual applications.
In plane analysis, only components on the tree-leaves are presented, i.e., The following is the analysis data of Cihai (辭海), with a character set of 16,339 traditional and simplified Chinese characters.
For example: the top stroke 一 in character 元, the bottom 一 in 旦, the left 丨 in 旧, the right ㇟ in 礼, the central ㇔ in 勺, and the outer ㇆ in 司.
Therefore, it is necessary to formulate norms or standards related to Chinese character components.
"Chinese Character Component Standard of GB13000.1 Character Set for Information Processing" (信息处理用GB13000.1字符集汉字部件规范) is a standard released on February 1, 1997, by the National Language Commission of China.
[12] Another important standard is the " Specification of Common Modern Chinese Character Components and Component Names" (現代常用字部件及部件名稱規範) formulated by the National Language Commission in 2009.
If the character has more than one sounds, then use the more common one, such as: component "中" is called zhōng, not zhòng.
For example, 扌 (tí shǒu, 提手) and 宀 (bǎo gài, 宝盖).
Sometimes in order to make the glyph more beautiful and reasonable in structure, a component may need to be changed in form according to the character environment.
The deformation of the components can be made in two ways: Stroke deformation includes the following situations: [16] The narrowing or flattening of components is to make the structure of the whole character harmonious and well-proportioned.
Take "犬" (dog) as an example: Pianpangs (偏旁; piānpáng) and radicals (部首; bùshǒu) are components.
Nowadays, it is customary to refer to the left and right, upper and lower, outer and inner parts of combined characters as pianpangs.
When we simplify Chinese characters, we should avoid new unspeakable and uncommon components. "
Optimizing the components of Chinese characters to make them more concise, standardized, and easy to learn and use is an important task for Chinese character optimization, and there is a long way to go.
