Chinese characters? Pinyin: Chinese and Japanese
Chinese characters, Chinese characters and square characters all belong to morpheme syllables of ideographic characters. Chinese characters are written in Chinese, borrowed from Japanese, Korean/Korean and other languages. They are widely used in the cultural circle of Chinese characters, and they are also the only highly developed morphemes that are still widely used in the world.
Chinese characters in a broad sense refer to characters from Oracle Bone Inscriptions, Dazhuan, Jinwen, Zhuan and Xiaozhuan, to official script, cursive script, regular script and derived running script, while Chinese characters in a narrow sense refer to Chinese characters written in block letters, which are also widely used today. Chinese characters were invented and improved by China people in ancient times. At present, the exact history can be traced back to Oracle Bone Inscriptions of Zhang Wen and Jin Wen, about 65438 BC+0300 BC Shang Dynasty. Then came the seal script of Qin dynasty, the official reform of Han dynasty, and the standard of block letters in Tang dynasty.
Chinese characters have been used continuously for the longest time up to now, and they are also the only characters in various ghost writing systems in ancient times. Chinese characters have always been the main official language in China. Chinese characters have developed to a highly complete level in ancient times. They are not only used in China, but also used as the only international communication language in East Asia for a long time. Before the 20th century, they were the official written and standardized characters of Japan, Korean Peninsula, Vietnam, Ryukyu and other countries, and all East Asian countries created their own Chinese characters to some extent.
