Simplified Chinese characters are used in mainland China (People's Republic of China) and Singapore to represent a variety of Chinese dialects spoken by well over 1 billion people.

In order to display Simplified Chinese characters correctly, you may need a font such as Arial Unicode MS or Bitstream Cyberbit.

The Chinese Union Version (CUV) remains the most used Chinese version, though its language is old-fashioned and the New Chinese Version, which was first published in 1992, is gaining in popularity.

You can also read the same passage in the New Chinese Version or in Traditional Chinese characters.
