Abstract: The current Chinese characters becomes more upright and foursquare.To obtain the preciseness and clarity of the glyph,components of characters usually deform.For example,the left component will change Heng to Ti,Shuwangou to Shuti,na to dian,and shu to pie;the upper component will change shugou to shu,dian to heng,and na to dian;the lower component will change pie to shu,and na to dian;the internal component will change na to dian.These deformation are to avoid another component in order to achieve the square of the whole characters.Due to the deformation of configuration and aesthetics,Chinese characters should have the same deformation of the same parts,but there are still some inconsistencies between the Chinese characters and the deformation rules in “General Standard Chinese Characters Table”.Exhaustive statistics are carried out on the deformation in “General Standard Chinese Characters Table”,and the general rules of component deformation are summarized and the special examples are all recorded in order to provide reference for studying and information processing of Chinese characters.

Key words: “General Standard Chinese Characters Table”, the Chinese character glyph, character components, avoidance deformation
