Cangjie word-making is one of the ancient myths and legends in China. The place where Cangjie makes words is called Fenghuang Bookstore. The following is the myth and legend of Cangjie word-making that I compiled for you. Everyone is welcome to learn from them, and I hope it will help you.
Cang Xie provided the Yellow Emperor with the wrong historical facts recorded in the history books of Jieyi, which caused the Yellow Emperor to lose the border negotiations with Emperor Yan. Later, it was a good way for Cang Xie to resign, travel around the world, visit and record historical events.
Three years later, he returned to his hometown, Baishui Wu Yang Village, and lived alone in a deep ditch to watch Kuixing's music style, observe the traces of birds and animals' hooves, sort out various materials, and create various symbols representing all things in the world. He gave these symbols a name, called Zi.
The significance of Cang Xie's coinage;
Archaeological findings prove that China's ancestors carved symbols on tortoise shells as early as seven or eight thousand years ago. There are dozens of symbols carved on pottery in Yangshao culture and Dawenkou culture five or six thousand years ago, some of which are similar to the characters seen in Oracle Bone Inscriptions, so some people think they are early characters.
As for the bamboo script found on the pottery pots in the early Longshan culture, it can definitely be written, which fully shows that Chinese characters have a history of at least 4,000 years in China. The appearance of characters is not only the result of people's continuous accumulation and summary in long-term social life.
The legend of Cangjie's word-making has been widely circulated in the Warring States Period. According to the Book of Huainanzi, Cang Xie wrote a book. It rained at night and the ghost cried. There are records in the preface to Shuo Wen Jie Zi: Cang Xie's early book, Gai Yi's pictograph, so it is called the text; After that, the form and sound benefit each other, that is, the word.
