An Overview of Christianity and the Mandarin Language

The translation of the Bible into Chinese using simplified characters is a relatively recent development, emerging as a response to the language reforms in the People's Republic of China, which adopted simplified characters in the 1950s to increase literacy. Initially, Christianity in China faced challenges due to political restrictions and state control over religious activities, especially during the Cultural Revolution (1966-1976), when religious texts were banned and many churches were closed. Despite these hardships, underground Christian communities continued to grow, and the demand for accessible Bibles in simplified Chinese increased as Christianity gained a foothold in China.

In response, the Chinese Union Version (CUV), originally published in traditional Chinese in 1919, was later adapted to simplified characters and made available to meet the needs of the growing Christian population. This simplified character version of the CUV remains the most widely used Bible translation among Chinese Christians today. In the late 20th and early 21st centuries, additional translations using simplified characters emerged, aiming to provide clearer language and updated expressions for contemporary readers. The availability of simplified Chinese Bibles has been essential for Christian communities within mainland China, where these Bibles are distributed through authorized channels and the underground church network, supporting both individual faith development and community worship.
