A: How did Chinese characters come into being? Who invented it?
B: This is a topic that people are very interested in, and it is also a piece of history that everyone should know.
A: Thousands of years ago, even the history of Huangdi and Yandi, the ancestor of Chinese humanities, has no written records. Before the advent of writing, history could only be continued by oral transmission - legends. Therefore, the word "ancient", consisting of "十" plus the word "十", can be understood as horizontal oral transmission by ten people, or vertically by ten generations.

B: Now, the wizard is using divination to determine his life or death!
The great wizard waved his erratic broom and danced the peculiar "Ask for Divination" dance:
The sky is thick and the soil is thick, and the ancestors are in trouble.
Good luck, give me some guidance!
Suddenly, magical fairy music sounded in the sky, and colorful auspicious clouds bloomed. Following the colorful auspicious clouds, two beautiful big birds with colorful feathers flew up and landed on the roof, chirping and dancing.
King Youzhuo (father) lovingly raised the infant child. King Youzhuo laughed and said: Eyes are the windows to the soul. An extra pair of eyes will make you smarter. This is a sign from heaven for our clan! My third prince will definitely become the most outstanding talent in the tribe in the future!
The tribesmen cheered and supported the king’s decision. Dance "Song of the Son":
Sing the song, dance the dance.
Smart boy, sing and dance to welcome you.
A: As spring passes and autumn comes, Cangjie grows into a handsome young man.
B: One night, he seemed to have a flash of inspiration from his parents' dance.
The dance of Prince Zhuo and his wife is photocopied on the canopy, creating unique symbols such as "father", "mother", "person" and "follow".
Cang Jie beats wood, bamboo, pottery, stone, and leather to provide the soundtrack for his parents' double dance.
There was King Zhuo who sang loudly:
Stone axes are used to chop down trees and build houses.
Get a bride and have a son.
Stone axes cut mountains and clear roads.
Catch the tiger and capture the wolf to ensure my prosperity!
A: The fire was shining brightly, and the figure of my father holding an ax was reflected on the wall for a while, and then it was replaced by my mother's vivid dancing posture.
B: The rapidly changing silhouette seems to be the melody of a song, the rhythm of life, and the call of the gods in the sky.
A: Cang Jie felt a kind of excitement, as if he saw the ideographic symbol he kept chasing in front of him, hazy, and he caught it, but suddenly he couldn't grasp it.
B: With this prelude, on a snowy day, Cangjie saw the footprints of birds and animals on the snow, and his inspiration finally broke out!
The sun came out, and the sunlight shone on the snow, and the golden light shone. The rows of bird claws and animal toes trembled, moved, and changed, as if they were holding each other's hands and forming a line in front of Cang Jie. Back and forth.
Cang Jie’s eyes widened and he was stunned by the wonderful sight in front of him.
A: Yes! This is what he has always wanted to do, use concise symbols instead of knots to mark words.
B: This will make it easy to learn and understand, so that anyone can easily own a book.
A: At that time, there will no longer be any jokes, misunderstandings, disasters or misfortunes caused by not understanding or misunderstanding the knot!
B: At that time, everyone can live in peace and harmony!
King Zhuo led the tribal people to sing and dance "Ode to the Creation of Characters":
The prints of animal toes and bird paws,
seemingly ordinary and extraordinary.
Look up at the stars, overlook the mountains and rivers,
Thousands of shapes are hidden in your chest.
Horizontal, vertical, dot, left and right,
Write Chinese characters in a square shape.
Hi ho! Light of wisdom!
Hi ho! The beginning of civilization!
Elder: Civilization can only be understood if we have writing. It can bring great changes, great innovations, and great benefits to our tribe!
King Youzhuo: OK, OK! I declare: Use words instead of knots to record events!
Cang Jie: Dad, words are so important, I will work hard to create them!
A faint fairy music came from the sky, followed by dense golden snowflakes falling.
Everyone was astonished. When the elder touched the golden snow on his head and body, he was immediately overjoyed.
Elder: Wow, what’s falling is corn! God bless you!
Everyone knelt on the ground, dug their hands deeply into the golden snow, and took a look. It turned out to be precious food - millet!
People knelt down and kowtowed to the sky to give thanks.

The blue sky is like washing, the morning glow is like fire, the smelting furnace shines with circles of golden light, and a beautiful four-legged bronze square tripod appears! Rows of hieroglyphics protrude from the golden cauldron.
There were cheers everywhere, and people gathered around the square tripod with the inscription, singing and dancing "Ode to the tripod":
Oh, hey!
The stone of Xishan, the mine of Red Valley.
Metal gold tools have timeless and timeless methods.
