In some sense, there hasn't been much change. But there have
been very clear changes. The vocabulary has changed, and therefore
the more frequent and less frequent characters have changed.
Also, the introduction of simplified characters around 1950
has changed frequencies quite a bit; many of the simplified
characters are quite frequent but don't turn up in old texts.
