What are the interesting origins of Chinese characters?

The most popular story about the origin of Chinese characters in China is the story of Cangjie's creation of Chinese characters. "Huainanzi Ben Jing Xun" said: "In the past, people were pale, writing books and saying things, raining and crying at night." Isn't it interesting enough? When Cangjie made words, the sky actually began to drop millet (suddenly thought of peeling millet and calling it millet), and at night the ghost cried wolf. It's a story anyway. I guess someone did something bad. I'm afraid that after writing it, his crimes will be recorded, spread for thousands of years and known to the world. So he began to sabotage, scattering all the corn in the granary, and the still-wailing ghost kept crying. Therefore, later generations also created an idiom called "There are too many books to finish". There are also records about Cangjie's word-making in ancient books such as Xunzi and Hanfeizi. There is no exact information about whether Cang Xie really exists, but some people speculate that Cang Xie is the official historian of the Yellow Emperor, so Cang Xie is also called Stone Yellowstone. "Xunzi Jiepian" said: "Therefore, there are many good readers, and Cang Xie is also a solo biography." It has been said that the "one" here is the correct way, that is, the correct method. Who knows, there are some ancient Chinese texts that we can't understand anyway? Very interesting. Xunzi believes that Cang Xie compiled and developed China characters and became an expert in China characters because of his extensive use of characters and constant thinking about the laws of characters. How can we understand "one" as the number one in the world again? That's really profound. Cang Xie should have played a unique role in the process of Chinese characters' transition from original picture characters to more standardized and systematic characters, at least collecting and standardizing the characters. Therefore, there should be one or more Cang Xie. Finally, a little accident ... Oh ... This is a story, not an accident ... It is said that a long time ago, there was a man named Cang Xie around the Yellow Emperor. He was the recorder of the Yellow Emperor and was later called a historian. It is said that "two eyes and four eyes" are born with double pupils. One eye and two pupils feel so domineering. However, according to the current medical research, it is a certain hereditary disease, and its life span is usually shorter than that of ordinary people. The scientific name is iris adhesion, which is not a good thing. According to historical records, Xiang Yu, Guan Yu and Li Yu, Empress of Southern Tang Dynasty, were all heavy pupils. It turns out that their short life span is based on science. As a recorder, Cang Xie not only recorded the daily hunting times, grain stocks and other items, but also recorded the major events in the tribe. At first, Cang Xie took notes by tying knots, which was barely enough. With the development of the tribe, things become more and more complicated. Simple knotting or untying can no longer be accurately recorded. Cang Xie came up with a way to get Baker to submit. If there are more bakers, one will be removed if there are fewer, and a special baker will be used for special activities. But after a long time, there are more and more things, and it is inevitable to forget. Even in the negotiations between the Yellow Emperor and Yan Di, Cang Xie failed because he provided the wrong historical facts. Cang Xie was also very ashamed and upset, so he thought day and night, traveled around, sought advice and tried to find a solution. One day, Cang Xie took part in a collective hunting. When he came to a fork in the road, several old people were arguing about which way to take. An old man insisted on going east, saying there were antelopes; An old man wanted to go to the north and said he could catch up with deer. Another old man insisted on going west, saying that there were two tigers, and if they were not killed in time, they would miss them. Cang Xie, it turns out that they are all looking at the footprints of underground beasts. Cang Xie suddenly felt happy. Since a footprint represents a wild animal, why can't I use a symbol to represent what I care about? He began to run home happily, began to concentrate on observing everything in the world, and created various symbols to express according to the shape of things. Sure enough, Cang Xie can manage things in an orderly way from now on, and the transaction record is clear. China's characters began to appear, and Cang Xie also created the first word-making method-pictographic word-making method. Since then, China's writing has become more and more perfect.
