WHY DO CHINESE CHARACTERS LOOK SO COMPLICATED?
Hey... I really saw this question. And I want to answer it.
Here is why
Here is why: The Chinese characters are complicated. They are (complicated), so they do look complicated. Comparing with the Latin, Cyrillic, Thai, Korean and other alphabets, the characters (Chinese characters) are more complicated, so if you think they look complicated, then you're right. 8)

They look so complicated to those, who didn't learn them. Objectively they're complicated (compared with most of the other writing systems around the world) and subjectively they're complicated for everyone, who didn't learn to recognize and to write them. This doesn't depend of the nationality. For example, I know people from the East (Tatarstan and Thailand) who also think that Chinese characters are very difficult (complicated). Many Chinese can't write all of the Chinese characters. Some Chinese can't write many of the Chinese characters. There are also Chinese, who can't write and read at all (illiterate Chinese people).
So, complicated, but not so complicated as the traditional Chinese characters (繁体中文 -- 繁體中文).

Only a little part of the Chinese characters is easy and not complicated. Like these ones: 一，二，三，八，十，个，中，凹，日，人，白，弓，王，田，从，主，之，工，木，大，土，上，下, 山， etc. I don't think they're more complicated than some English/Latin letters as: W, Q, Y, G... or Cyrillic letters as: Щ, Ш, Ю, Ъ... or Korean, Thai and so on.

Offtopic! It's not about your happiness, it's about the Chinese characters! You're a spammer and/or a bot. And I think you'll be banned next time when you post again something irrelevant, spammy, offtopic, bot-like, etc. Keep in mind that this forum is not allowing irresponsible posting!!!
