Hán tự (, meaning "
Chinese character") or chữ Nho (, literally "script of Confucian scholars") is the
Vietnamese term for
Chinese characters, which was used to write
classical Chinese, in contrast to
chữ Nôm, which was used to write the Vietnamese language.In imperial Vietnam, formal writings were, in most cases, done in classical Chinese, while Vietnamese was only used for recording literature. These writings are indistinguishable from those classical Chinese works produced in
China,
Korea, or
Japan. The readings of Hán tự, like
Kanji and
Hanja, reflect that of
Middle Chinese, and provide valuable data for the study of
historical Chinese phonology.
