Calling grandpa and grandma in Taiwan is sexist, and you want to change your name to grandfather and grandmother?!
"ETtoday News Cloud", "China Broadcasting Network" and many other Taiwan media speculated on the 12th to "improve gender discrimination" and "grandfather and grandmother's success in correcting their names": Taiwan's "Ministry of Education" revised the "compendium of Chinese dictionaries", adjusted the interpretation of words such as grandfather, grandmother, grandfather, grandmother, etc., and added "now also known as grandfather, grandmother, grandfather, grandmother" and "now also known as grandfather, grandmother, grandfather, grandmother" Many Taiwan media have speculated that grandpa and grandmother have changed their names to grandfathers and grandmothers from now on. Many netizens on the island believe that this move is "boring" and "has nothing to do after eating a full meal". Some netizens think of the famous song in Taiwan: What about "Grandma's Penghu Bay"?

According to the report, "Time Power" ("Taiwan independence" political party) "legislator" Wang Wanyu posted on Facebook on the 10th that she had asked the "Ministry of Education" to improve the online dictionary in the "Legislative Yuan" There was a gender discrimination problem, "Minister of Education" Pan Wenzhong promised to ask the professional team to make appropriate adjustments, and recently replied that some terms have been adjusted.
Wang Wanyu said that after reading several adjusted words and sentences, what she felt was "great" was that grandfather, grandmother, grandfather, grandmother, etc., originally in the dictionary, were all titles of "parents and relatives of mothers", and after adjustment, they added "now also known as grandfathers, grandmothers, grandfathers, grandmothers"; grandfathers and grandmothers are not only "father's parents", but also "mother's parents".
Wang Wanyu believes that the dictionary of the "Ministry of Education" actively explains to the children that whether it is the father's parents or the mother's parents, now there is no need to have a distinction between inside and outside, and they are all grandfathers, grandmothers, grandfathers, and grandmothers.
