Chinese characters:

Chinese characters (pinyin: hàn zì, phonetic notation: ㄢˋˋ), also known as Chinese characters and Chinese characters, are recorded symbols of Chinese and belong to morpheme syllables of ideographic characters. One of the oldest characters in the world has a history of more than 6000 years. In form, it gradually changes from graphics to strokes, pictographs to symbols, and complex to simple; In the principle of word formation, from ideographic, ideographic to phonological.

Except for a few Chinese characters (such as Zi, Zi, Zi, Chi and Zi), they are all one Chinese character and one syllable. Modern Chinese characters refer to capitalized Chinese characters, including traditional characters and simplified characters. Modern Chinese characters have developed from Oracle Bone Inscriptions, bronze inscriptions, seal script and seal script to official script, cursive script, regular script and running script.

Chinese characters were invented and improved by Han ancestors, which is an indispensable link to maintain the Han dialect area. The earliest existing Chinese characters are Oracle Bone Inscriptions of Shang Dynasty and later inscriptions on bronze in about 1300 BC, which evolved into seal script in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and then to seal script and official script in the Qin Dynasty, until the official script prevailed in the Han and Wei Dynasties, and the official script was changed to regular script at the end of the Han Dynasty. Regular script prevailed in Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties.

The origin theory of Chinese characters;

From the ancient legend of Cangjie's word-making to the appearance of Oracle Bone Inscriptions more than 1000 years ago, China scholars have been trying to uncover the mystery of the origin of Chinese characters. There are always different opinions about the origin of Chinese characters, among which the most influential ones are: knot rope theory, gossip theory, seal cutting theory, Cangjie word-making theory, description theory and picture theory.

Main impacts:

Chinese characters are an important tool to carry culture. At present, there are a large number of ancient books written in Chinese characters. Different dialects and even languages use Chinese characters as their writing system. In ancient Japan, Korean Peninsula, Vietnam, Ryukyu Islands, Lanfang and Borneo Republic, Chinese characters were all official documents of the country, so China culture played an important role in the spread and sharing of surrounding civilizations in history.

Because the relationship between Chinese characters and pronunciation is not very close, it is easy to be borrowed by other ethnic groups, such as Japan, the Korean peninsula and Vietnam. There was a historical stage when only Chinese characters were written and no Chinese was spoken. This feature of Chinese characters plays an important role in maintaining a cultural circle-a nation full of various dialect groups that cannot communicate.
