The process of word-making: The so-called "writing books by Cang Gao" does not mean that characters have been completely invented and created, but that a set of systematic and standardized hieroglyphics have been created through extensive collection of existing folk pictures and characters and careful arrangement.

Influence of later generations:
Cang Xie unified different forms of writing, making it systematic and neat, which had a far-reaching impact on later generations. After the unification of China in the 26th year of Qin Shihuang (22 1 year), he followed Cang Xie's example to carry out "writing with the same character" and forcibly arranged and standardized the characters on a large scale. It is recorded in the preface to Shuo Wen that before the reunification of Qin Dynasty, there were "seven countries" and "different languages and different characters" between countries. ?
After reunification, "I think Reese is playing with it, but not with Qin Wen." Our company wrote Cang Xie, CZ ordered Zhao Gao to write Calendar, and a surname ordered Hu Wujing to write erudition, all of which took history as a seal, or existed quite a bit, so-called small seal. "The Qin dynasty unified and simplified the text and adopted the seal script.
It can be seen that the invention and dissemination of characters can not be completed by one person at a time, and it carries the wisdom of more ancestors. After repeated screening, it finally became standardized and accepted by people. As the inventor of Chinese characters, Cang Xie is only the representative and symbol of many "wise men" who have contributed to the invention of Chinese characters.
