Knowledge expansion:
Writing is a tool used by human beings to express meaning and transmit information. The origin of Chinese characters can be traced back to 3500 BC. In ancient Egypt, China, Mexico and other places, people have been using different symbols and graphics to express their meaning. These symbols and figures can be said to be the earliest characters.
The appearance of characters is an important milestone in the development of human civilization. Before writing appeared, people could only convey information orally, which was easy to make mistakes and inconvenient to remember. The appearance of characters makes it possible for people to record more complicated information, and also makes the transmission of information more accurate and lasting.
Early characters were hieroglyphics, that is, different graphics were used to express different meanings. For example, in Egyptian hieroglyphics of Oracle Bone Inscriptions and China, the figure of the sun means "sky" and the figure of water means "water". With the passage of time, people began to combine different graphics to form a more complex writing system, such as China's Chinese characters and Japanese pseudonyms.
