From today's daily text: "Do not go beyond the things that are written. —1 Cor. 4:6." The idea that "thou shalt only use Chinese characters, not _Pīnyīn_" is purely from *worldly human tradition*. It is NOT written direction from Jehovah God or his organization!

In the Mandarin field, how can we talk about Jehovah being our intelligent Creator, and why should we do so?
Sure, work hard and learn all the Chinese characters you can. (It’s not humanly possible to learn and remember all of them.)

Work SMART too, though—use _Pīnyīn_ to quickly and easily read and write ANYTHING in Mandarin. While others are mired in tradition, you’ll get ahead. pic.twitter.com/QwbS4mg9h4

Re writing Mandarin with Chinese characters, many say, “But we’ve always done it that way.”
However, as _Lǔ Xùn_ asked, does that make it right? pic.twitter.com/eFCN6fPYtY
Chinese characters are the punched cards of writing systems. Punched cards were not totally impossible to use, but there are now much better and easier-to-use ways to control computers.
