齐 is a simplified form of 齊. This thesis examines the evolutionary process and usage patterns of the character 齐, concluding that it exhibits both orthographic and popular forms. These two variants coexisted in ancient documents, though their frequency of use varied significantly. Moreover, the dominant glyph of 齐 differed across dynasties. From the Qing Dynasty through the Republic of China era to the Peoples Republic of China, the official standardisation of 齐 underwent a developmental trajectory from 齊 to 齐, which can be categorised into three distinct phases: the incipient period, the exploratory period, and the finalisation period.

“齐”是“齊”的簡化字。論文梳理了“齐”字字形的演變過程和使用情況，認為 “齐”有正字形, 也有俗寫形, 兩類字形在古代文獻中呈混用狀態, 而且這些字形的使用頻 率並不相同, 不同朝代“齐”的主流字形存在一定差異。從清代到民國, 再到新中國, 從官 方層面來看, “齐”字規範字形的選定經歷了從“齊”逐漸定型為“齐”的發展過程, 具體又 可以分為發軔期、探索期、定型期三個階段。
