The origin of Chinese characters (abbreviation)

Exploring the mystery of the origin and origin of Chinese characters

Chinese characters have a long history, and they were created about four thousand years ago. There are many kinds of Chinese characters, such as oracle bone inscriptions, bronze inscriptions, small seal script, cursive script, running script, regular script, etc... Moreover, Chinese characters are used in the world and can be regarded as universal scripts. I see, Japan, South Korea and many other countries have invented some Chinese characters by learning from our country. However, more and more people are learning Chinese characters. Chinese characters are so famous, let alone Chinese calligraphy works. For example: Wang Xizhi's calligraphy works "Lanting Preface" and Liu Gongquan's "Mysterious Tower Stele" are both internationally famous! !

I think you may ask, where did the Chinese characters come from? Haha, let me tell you! ! It turned out that the characters were created by Cangjie. Because at that time there were many people and many things to do, and there were frequent wars, the method of using knotted ropes to record events and engraving wood as signs to convey orders was really difficult to cope with. One night it snowed heavily. Cangjie got up early in the morning and went hunting in the mountains. He saw that the mountains and fields were covered with snow, and the mountains and trees were all covered with snow. Cangjie walked around a mountain without seeing any prey. Just as I was about to go back down the mountain, two pheasants suddenly popped out of the woods and were looking for food on the snow. After the pheasant passed by, it left two long lines of paw prints on the snow. Then, two more deer came out of the woods and ran away after spotting the person. Another deer's hoofprints were left on the snow. Cangjie was so fascinated that he had completely forgotten about hunting. He compared the pheasant's paw prints with the deer's hoof prints and found that the shapes were different. So he thought, if you draw the chicken's paw prints, it's called a chicken, and if you draw the deer's hoof prints, it's called a deer. Anything in the world becomes a word as long as its pictogram is drawn! From then on, Cangjie looked up at the sun, moon and stars every day, looked down at the birds, animals, mountains and rivers, and created hieroglyphics. Soon, the characters for people, hands, sun, moon, stars, cattle, sheep, horses, roosters, and dogs were all created.
