Simplified character forms were created by decreasing the number of strokes and simplifying the forms of a sizable proportion of traditional Chinese characters. Some simplifications are based on popular cursive Cursive script , literally translated as Grass script, is a style of Chinese calligraphy. The name Cǎoshū is actually an abbreviation for 草率書 (cǎoshuài shū),[citation needed] meaning "sloppy script". Cursive script is faster to write than other styles, but also harder to read. People who can read standard or printed forms of forms embodying graphic or phonetic simplifications of the traditional forms. Some characters were simplified by applying regular rules; for example, by replacing all occurrences of a certain component with a simpler variant. Some characters were simplified irregularly, however, and some simplified characters are very dissimilar to and unpredictable from traditional characters. Finally, many characters were left untouched by simplification, and are thus identical between the traditional and simplified Chinese orthographies.
In August 2009, the PRC began collecting public comments for a modified list of simplified characters.[1] [2][3][4]

Q. I was just wondering this, since I know that some publications are written in traditional characters this way. I didn't know if it was still valid with simplified characters.

A. The answer is yes. The direction of the characters did not change when they created the simplified characters. Historically, Chinese text has been written your way, top to bottom, right to left. And books are "backwards" by western standards. The cover and first page are where we expect the end to be and the pages are numbered in reverse. However, in the modern day Chinese text runs in all kinds of directions - reflecting more or less adoption of western print. Now you'll see various combinations of: - columns top to bottom, either r to l or l to r - horizontal text, either direction - pages in reverse or regular order
