The contribution of simplified Chinese characters to the Han nationality
Chinese characters not only have the general function of promoting social development, but also have some unique functions that pinyin characters do not have, that is, promoting national integration and safeguarding national unity.

Chinese characters are ideographic characters, which are called the second language of the Han nationality and have played an inestimable role in the formation of the Chinese nation. Today, the Chinese nation is formed by the gradual integration of many different nationalities in history. At first, it was a fusion of Yan and Huang tribes. Later, there was the continuous integration of the Central Plains ethnic group and the Sifang ethnic group, the integration of the northern nomadic ethnic group and the Central Plains agricultural ethnic group, and the integration of the northern ethnic group and the southern ethnic group. This integration process lasted for thousands of years. Finally, the Chinese nation with the largest number of ethnic groups in the world today has been formed. In this process, Chinese characters have played a role in communicating the thinking languages of different ethnic groups, and have become a unified language commonly used by all ethnic groups, which has played a great role in the formation of the Chinese nation.

To a great extent, the unification of a country depends on the same language and culture. Chinese characters have played an inestimable role in the formation of the same Chinese language and culture in China, thus playing a great role in the unification of China. China formed a unified country more than two thousand years ago. This is largely due to the stable form of Chinese characters used in China, which can communicate with dialects all over the country. One of the important functions of Chinese characters is to manage state affairs. Pinyin is difficult to be used as a tool to manage state affairs in different languages, but Chinese ideographic characters can still effectively manage a vast country in the case of differences in dialects, thus safeguarding national unity.
