Practical value:
Ancient Chinese characters can reveal the origin and structure of Chinese characters and have important practical value in the field of children's literacy.
About 20% of Chinese characters are pictographs, signifiers or comprehensives. Today, these three types of characters have little to do with their meanings. But if we trace back to the ancient Chinese characters (Oracle Bone Inscriptions or seal script), we can intuitively understand why this word is written like this and why it means this. For example, the bell hanging on a rope formed a southern musical instrument (actually a chime), and ancient northern nobles used the bell hanging on a rope to refer to the south. This is the origin of the southern character, which is very vivid: the crosshead in the upper part represents the rope and the lower part represents the clock.
As for the other 80% Chinese characters are pictophonetic characters, which can be regarded as a combination of pictophonetic characters and phonetic symbols; In addition to shape and harmony, there must be hieroglyphs or subtle changes. Tracing Chinese characters back to ancient Chinese characters, we can better understand pictographs, signifiers and so on, so as to better understand pictographs and consonants, and then master pictographs.
