《通用规范汉字表》(以下简称《字表》)公示以来,受到了社会广泛的议论,批评者居多,赞成者却寥寥无几。这与以前几个字表公布时的情况大不相同。政府主管部门经过多年的准备形成的意见,竟然得不到社会的积极响应,人们不能不认真思考:究竟是群众不通情理,还是《字表》本身确实存在重大问题?笔者以为,恐怕不是前者,而是后者。 Since the publication of “General Specification Chinese Character List” (hereinafter referred to as “Character List”), it has been widely discussed by the society with few critics and few favoritos. This is quite different from the situation when the previous lists were released. After many years of preparation, government departments have not received the positive response from the community. One can not but seriously think whether the masses are unreasonable or whether the “word table” itself is really a major problem. I think I am afraid that it is not the former one, But the latter.
