This is a report of the use of written forms in cultural
reviews. We surveyed about 117,000 running words, drawn from
the sample used for the above-mentioned word count. The
contents of the report are as follows:
1) A list of some 700 words which occurred frequently in two
or more variant ways of writing.
2) A table of the frequency distribution of Chinese
characters (presented here in condensed form).
