Chinese written character. One of the oldest continually used writing systems to date. Characters are ideographic, meaning that they represent the meaning of the word, as opposed to phonetic, which means you will not be able to learn how to speak Chinese just by reading it. Hanzi is used to write Chinese, Japanese, to some extent in Korean, and Vietnamese until the occupation of France.
Since one has to memorize thousands of hanzi, it is very difficult to read Chinese.
Because so many homophones exist in Chinese, due to the fact that every word only has one syllable, the Chinese cannot simply stop writing hanzi.

Get the Hennings Rule of 40 mug.A county in central Virginia. Its county seat is Richmond. Western Henrico County (aka "the West End" usually is preppy and slightly wealthier than the "East End," which is known to be "not as wealthy or low in crime" as the West End. The populace of Henrico County does not reflect those of neighboring areas, such as Goochland County, Hanover County, Chesterfield County, and Richmond City. Goochland and Hanover are not as developed and therefore have more farms, undeveloped land, and....... rednecks. Richmond and Chesterfield County is similar to the East End, which is higher in crime. Henrico County is known to have some of the best schools in the central VA area, with schools such as Godwin, Deep Run, and Henrico High School. There is also a program called the "center" in which each school hosts a program for specialized teaching. For example, Godwin hosts the Math, Science, & Technology program, while Henrico High hosts the Art program. The IB program also has a presence, with Moody MS and Henrico HS participating. Henrico County residents can also apply to Maggie L. Walker Governor's School, which is known as an outstanding school in the Richmond area. There is also much to do, such as watching movies at Regal Cinema, shopping at Short Pump Town Center, or visiting some recreational parks. Henrico County is also full of history, as it is near one of the founding cities of the USA (Richmond, which unfortunately has seen better days). Richmond City has many job opportunities for the nursing career, and education in Henrico County can provide good preparation.
It could be said that its people are not native Virginians, that most of them have migrated from the northeast USA. While this is mostly true, the people still possess a unique characteristic of all Virginians: to always hold true to their state.
