New on Pinyin Info is the nearly complete text of Reform of the Chinese Written Language, a booklet from the PRC that dates back to 1958. Most of the essays, however, contain misconceptions about Chinese characters, romanization, and the nature of script reform, so this work is placed here on this site not as a recommended reading but as a historical reference. So, with that in mind, here are the essays:
- Current Tasks of Reforming the Written Language, by Chou En-lai
- Report on the Current Tasks of Reforming the Written Language and the Draft Scheme for a Chinese Phonetic Alphabet, by Wu Yu-chang
- Scheme for a Chinese Phonetic Alphabet
- Resolution of the National People’s Congress on the Scheme for a Chinese Phonetic Alphabet
- Resolution of the State Council on the Promulgation of the Draft Scheme for a Chinese Phonetic Alphabet
- A Summary of the Efforts of the Chinese People over the Past Sixty Years to Create a Phonetic Alphabet, by Wu Yu-chang and Li Chin-hsi
