Chinese Symbol for Love: Origin and History

Chinese symbols have a history of more than 100,000 years. The Chinese symbol of love is not an easy-to-write symbol and has developed many different forms over the years. History has seen many different Chinese symbols for love, with varying degrees of complexity, due to variations in the traditional writing style and the modern simplified writing style. The traditional Chinese writing system was dropped by the Chinese government, some fifty years ago, but was later reintroduced. The reintroduced version was a little simpler and contained fewer writing strokes. So, while the traditional Chinese symbol for love is highly detailed and artistic, the simplified version is easy to write and understand. The simplified version of the Chinese symbol for love is used in Mainland China, while the traditional Chinese symbol of love is still valued in Taiwan.
