According to reports, the Japan Kanji Proficiency Verification Association has collected "this year's Kanji" from all over Japan to express the world, and the highest number of votes is the "golden" character.
Japan's Asahi Shimbun reported that most of the reasons for choosing the word include that at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, Japanese athletes won many gold medals, Japanese professional baseball player Shohei Otani won the American League MVP, all walks of life have created good results, and the Japanese government has been widely discussed due to the new crown epidemic subsidy.
According to the report, the "Chinese Characters of the Year" campaign began in 1995 and is the 27th in 2021. In 2020, due to the spread of the new crown epidemic, the annual Chinese character for that year was "secret".
In addition, the word "jin" is the most frequently obtained annual Chinese character, and it was also selected as the annual Chinese character of the year in 2000, which hosted the Sydney Olympic Games, the 2012 Olympic Games in London, and the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.
