This paper is concerned with the simple waves for the general quasilinear strictly hyperbolic systems in two independent variables. By using the method of characteristic decomposition, we first establish a more general sufficient condition for the existence of characteristic decompositions. These decompositions allow us to extend a well‐known result on reducible equations by Courant and Friedrichs to the non‐reducible equations. Then we construct a simple wave solution, in which the characteristics may be a set of non‐straight curves, around a given curve under the obtained sufficient condition.
