Jiu zixing
Jiu zixing (), also known as inherited glyphs form (), or traditional glyph form (, not to be confused with Traditional Chinese), is a traditional printing orthography form of Chinese character which uses the orthodox forms, mainly referring to the traditional Chinese character glyphs, especially the printed forms after movable type printing. Jiu zixing is formed in the Ming Dynasty, and is also known as "Kyūjitai" in Japan; it also refers to the characters used in China before the Chinese writing reform and the issuing of 1964 "List of Character Forms of Common Chinese characters for Publishing".

Broadly speaking, "jiu zixing" also refers to the character forms used in printing Chinese before reformation by national stardardization, e.g. "xin zixing" () in mainland China, Standard Form of National Characters in Taiwan, and List of Graphemes of Commonly-Used Chinese Characters in Hong Kong; "jiu zixing" is generally the opposite form of the standards. The representative books that used "jiu zixing" includes "Kangxi Dictionary", ""Zhongwen Da Cidian", "Dahanhe Cidian"", "Chinese-Korean Dictionary", and "Zhonghua Da Zidian".

There are several standards of "jiu zixing" developed by scholars before, but there is no single enforced standard. Variations of "jiu zixing" standard can be see in Kangxi Dictionary, Old Chinese printing form, Korean Hanja, some printing forms in Taiwan and MingLiU in Windows 98 and earlier versions; slight differences may occur between different "jiu zixing" standards. Currently there are also open-sourced communities that developed and maintain modern "jiu zixing" standards that are based on and/or unify other "jiu zixing" forms from academic researches.
