The Sungkyunkwan Gossip was a Korean novel. The Chinese characters were used because the novel was a Chinese translation. If the novel was the original Korean version, it would not use Chinese characters.
Ancient Koreans used Chinese characters, but they might not be able to speak Chinese. This is because Chinese characters and Chinese are two different language systems. Chinese characters are an ideograph in East Asia, mainly spread in China and the Korean Peninsula. Chinese is modern Chinese, the general name of Chinese dialect, which is composed of Mandarin, Cantonese, Hokkien and many other dialect. Ancient Koreans used a type of Chinese characters, but due to their geographical location and cultural environment, they might use different dialect or spoken language to express the same meaning. Therefore, when ancient Koreans used Chinese characters, they could not speak Chinese but the local language written in Chinese characters.
The use of traditional Chinese characters in the publication of a novel may be due to the author's mother tongue being traditional Chinese, or the novel itself being in traditional Chinese. In addition, some novels may be translated into other languages and these translated works will still retain the traditional form. In some cases, it is legal to publish a novel in traditional Chinese characters because it may be the author's personal preference or cultural tradition.
The novels are usually uploaded in simplified Chinese. During the process of uploading the novel, there may be some changes in the text due to some reasons, such as problems during the conversion, network delays, etc. These reasons may cause some changes in the text and affect what we see. The difference between simplified characters and traditional characters is the different writing forms of a Chinese character. When reading, we usually judge the writing form of a Chinese character according to the context. Therefore, when the novel is converted into simplified characters, we may see some traditional Chinese characters appearing in it, but this does not mean that these Chinese characters are wrong because they are written in the original form.
Maybe it's to make them stand out and create more drama. It adds an element of confidence and power that drives the story forward.
Learning Chinese characters could improve IQ, but it was not widely accepted by the scientific community. Although some studies have shown that learning Chinese characters can enhance cognitive ability and brain flexibility, these studies are mainly to explain the impact of learning Chinese characters on children. The claim that adults can improve their IQ by learning Chinese characters has not been fully proven. Some studies have shown that learning Chinese characters can improve memory and concentration, helping people better understand and think about complex information. However, these studies did not prove that learning Chinese characters had a significant impact on the improvement of intelligence. Intelligence quotient referred to an individual's cognitive and intellectual performance, including thinking ability, learning ability, memory, creativity, and so on. Learning Chinese characters could enhance people's cognitive ability and memory, but it did not directly improve their IQ. Therefore, there was no scientific basis for saying that learning Chinese characters could not directly improve one's IQ.
There are three main characters in 'A Scandal in Bohemia'. Firstly, there is Sherlock Holmes, the brilliant detective. Then there is Irene Adler, a very clever and resourceful woman. And last but not least, the King of Bohemia, who is in a difficult situation due to a photograph and his upcoming marriage.
I don't know the specific main characters in 'anatomy of a scandal full story' as I haven't read it.
Given that it's a very English scandal, the main characters could be from the upper echelons of English society. It could be a group of business tycoons who engage in unethical practices that are considered scandalous in the English context. Or perhaps it's about a well - known English artist or writer who gets involved in a scandal that shakes the cultural world in England.
It's possible that the main characters are a group of people who are directly affected by the scandal. If it's a social scandal, it could be families or friends who are dealing with the fallout. They might be the ones who are trying to fight against the wrongdoings or are just trying to survive in the midst of the chaos caused by the scandal.
I'm not sure specifically without reading the novel. But typically in a scandal - centered novel, there might be a protagonist who gets caught up in the scandal, perhaps an innocent person wrongly accused. And there could be other characters like the ones causing the scandal, maybe a jealous rival or someone with a hidden agenda.
