Six poems praising Chinese characters

"Ode to the Creation of Characters":

Animal toe prints, bird paw prints,

Seemingly ordinary but not ordinary.

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!

"Ode to Chinese Characters":

Forefathers could only describe one or two things by tying ropes,

Cang Jie invented the characters to express billions of things!

No words can convey meaning, no words can express aspirations;

No words can express feelings, no words can record history!

Chinese characters, the cornerstone of Chinese civilization,

Chinese characters, information for generations to come!

"Chinese as a Bridge":

There is China in the east, and the Chinese language has been around for thousands of years.

Words carry information and civilization can be spread.

Going south to Jiaozhi Kingdom, traveling east to Fei Fusang,

Going north to ancient Goryeo, crossing the Atlantic Ocean seven times.

The legacy spreads all over the world, and the achievements reach all directions.

Chinese characters cast history, and the glory is passed down from generation to generation.

Culture will continue, and the past will come and go.

The great China will become more prosperous and powerful in the contemporary era.

A grand meeting is held in Beijing, Chinese language builds bridges,

Connects the whole world for exchanges and cooperation.

Life is better and the world is more brilliant.
