How can you tell which is traditional Chinese calligraphy and which is simplified Chinese calligraphy?

In: English to Chinese [Edit categories]

Answer:

Unless you read Chinese, you can't.

But, traditional has many more strokes in one character than in simplified. For example, if you wanted to say China in simplified form it's: 中国 while in traditional, it's : 中國。Or, dragon in simplified is:龙 and in traditional: 龍. Traditional is much more complex looking, but it's only recognizable to those who read Chinese.
