Simplified Chinese characters standardized Chinese characters developed in mainland China

Simplified Chinese characters are standardized Chinese characters prescribed in the Table of General Standard Chinese Characters for use in mainland China. Along with traditional Chinese characters, they are one of the two standard character sets of the contemporary Chinese written language. The government of the People's Republic of China in mainland China has promoted them for use in printing since the 1950s and 1960s to encourage literacy. They are officially used in the People's Republic of China and Singapore.

Traditional Chinese characters

Traditional Chinese characters are Chinese characters in any character set that does not contain newly created characters or character substitutions performed after 1946. They are most commonly the characters in the standardized character sets of Taiwan, of Hong Kong and Macau, and in the Kangxi Dictionary. The modern shapes of traditional Chinese characters first appeared with the emergence of the clerical script during the Han Dynasty, and have been more or less stable since the 5th century.

Hanyu Pinyin, often abbreviated to pinyin, is the official romanization system for Standard Chinese in mainland China and to some extent in Taiwan. It is often used to teach Standard Mandarin Chinese, which is normally written using Chinese characters. The system includes four diacritics denoting tones. Pinyin without tone marks is used to spell Chinese names and words in languages written with the Latin alphabet, and also in certain computer input methods to enter Chinese characters.

History

In Qing dynasty, Ding Liu, the 15th generation of the Liu family in Lufeng county of Guangdong province in China moved to Taiwan alone. Ding Liu settled down in Hsinchu County under the governance by Qing, and started worshipping the spirit tablets from the 12th through 14th generations of the Liu family. Later, Ding Liu met with Yang-Gong Yeh, who also lived in Hsinchu. Ding Liu was then adopted by Yang-Gong Yeh as his son. Therefore, Ding Liu's family name was added by "Yeh" and became Ding Yehliu.

Qing dynasty former empire in Eastern Asia, last imperial regime of China

The Qing dynasty, officially the Great Qing, was the last imperial dynasty of China. It was established in 1636, and ruled China proper from 1644 to 1912. It was preceded by the Ming dynasty and succeeded by the Republic of China. The Qing multi-cultural empire lasted for almost three centuries and formed the territorial base for modern China. It was the fifth largest empire in world history.

Lufeng, formerly romanized as Lukfung, is a county-level city in the southeast of Guangdong province, administered as a part of the prefecture-level city of Shanwei. It lies on the mainland on coast of the South China Sea east of Hong Kong.

Guangdong Most populous province of the Peoples Republic of China

Guangdong is a province in South China, on the South China Sea coast. Guangdong surpassed Henan and Shandong to become the most populous province in China in January 2005, registering 79.1 million permanent residents and 31 million migrants who lived in the province for at least six months of the year; the total population was 104,303,132 in the 2010 census, accounting for 7.79 percent of Mainland China's population. This also makes it the most populous first-level administrative subdivision of any country outside of South Asia, as its population is surpassed only by those of the Pakistani province of Punjab and the Indian states of Bihar, Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh. The provincial capital Guangzhou and economic hub Shenzhen are among the most populous and important cities in China. The population increase since the census has been modest, the province registering 108,500,000 people in 2015.

Before Yang-Gong Yeh adopted Ding Liu, he had two sons and an adopted daughter, Yu-Mei Hsu. Both Yeh's sons died when they were young. Later, Ding Liu married Yu-Mei Hsu. According to the genealogy book of Yehliu's family, Yang-Gong Yeh and Ding Yehliu had an agreement that the first son used Yeh, and the latter sons used Liu as their surnames. However, Ding Yehliu and Yu-Mei Hsu only gave birth to one son so he kept using "Yehliu" as his surname. The son was named Shih-Ming Yehliu, the sixteen generation of Yehliu family. [2] [3]

Shih-Ming Yehliu married three times, and he had eight sons and four daughters. One of his sons was adopted by other family. The other seven sons then became the seven major branches of the current Yehliu family. [1]
