Chinese characters have been developed for five or six thousand years, and about a quarter of the world's people use it。Chinese characters have made a great contribution to the history of culture. Over the millennia, the form of Chinese characters has evolved many times.

In the history of Chinese writing, the Xia, Shang, and Third dynasties are the most important in terms of their contributions to philology. Shi Zhou is the king of Zhou Xuan.

The historian, he is a new model, in order to be simple. The big seal has a sentence again.

籀篆, 籀书.

Known as the history books. Because it was made by Shi Zhou, it is called Zhouwen, and the big seal is scattered in the "Shuowen Interpretation of Words".

and the various Zhongding Yi vessels collected by later generations. Among them, the stone drum text written by King Xuan of Zhou is the most famous.

The evolution process of Chinese characters is: oracle bone script, golden script, large seal, small seal, official script, cursive script, regular script, and line script.

The eight processes of the evolution of Chinese characters are as follows:

1. Oracle bone inscription (Shang Dynasty).

The oracle bone inscription has been in use since the Shang Dynasty, and it has a history of more than 3,000 years. Oracle is also a script that has a font. At first, oracle bone inscriptions were used by the nobles of the Shang Dynasty for divination, and half of them were written on turtle shells or animal bones, and now people study the history of the Shang Dynasty through oracle bone inscriptions.

2. Jin Wen (Shang Dynasty).

This is a more figurative script than the oracle bone inscription, which was mainly used from the late Shang Dynasty to the Zhou Dynasty, and the period before and after the period was almost 800 years before and after, and it was finally abolished after Qin Shi Huang unified the Six Kingdoms. At present, there are 3,722 complete gold scripts in existence, and 2,420 recognizable characters.

3. Great Seal (late Western Zhou Dynasty).

It is a font that was commonly used in the late Western Zhou Dynasty and is said to have been created by Boyi of the Xia Dynasty. The big seal is generally engraved on the stone, so the big seal also has the title of the ancestor of stone carving.

4. Small seal (Qin Dynasty).

This is a simplified script of Qin Shi Huang on the basis of the Great Seal after the unification of the Six Kingdoms. It is mainly in charge of Prime Minister Li Si. The small seal was popular from the Qin Dynasty until the end of the Western Han Dynasty (about 8 AD), when it began to be replaced by Lishu.

5. Lishu (Qin Dynasty).

There are mainly Qin Li, Han Li, which are generally believed to have developed from seal scripts. It is said to have been invented by Cheng Miao during the Qin Dynasty, and by the Eastern Han Dynasty, Lishu had become very common. The historical inheritance of Lishu is also very long, from the beginning of the Qin Dynasty to the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties are large-scale use of Lishu.

6. Cursive (Han Dynasty).

Cursive is not aged, as long as it is a relatively scribbled font, all are cursive. However, this is not to say that the scribbled font is the real cursive, because the real cursive script is artistic, for example, Zhang Xu's cursive script has been imitated by later generations.

7. Regular script (late Eastern Han Dynasty).

This is a font that has been passed down to the present day and is still in use, and it should have originated in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. Most of the fonts we write now are also in italics, and the italics pay attention to neatness, so the italics are still the official fonts.

8. Xingshu (late Eastern Han Dynasty).

Xingshu is a type of font between regular script and cursive script. On the whole, it is more free than regular script, but it is more neat than cursive script. Xingshu is also a popular font nowadays, and many people are also trying to practice Xingshu.

However, it is more difficult to write in regular script than in regular script, so it is recommended that you practice regular script first.

The evolution of Chinese characters is divided into five stages: 1. The oracle bone inscription engraved on animal bones and tortoise shells.

2. Engraved on bronze vessels to record meritorious deeds and prayers: Jinwen (inscription).

3. Qin Shi Huang's unified text: small seal.

4. A slave invented in the Qin Dynasty and matured in the Han Dynasty: Lishu.

5. Formed in the late Han Dynasty, the font is regular: regular script.

It can be briefly summarized into five stages: sound, shape, image, number, and reason.

"sound" is an essential part of any language. In the distant and long primeval times, human beings were born from the instinctive "crying and laughing......Or imitate nature's "birdsong, insect call, beast roar、......The gradual differentiation of "voices" that have a certain meaning and represent certain things is the evolution of speech.

"Shape" is the second important component of language, but it is not necessary.

In ancient times, humanity was mainly faced with the problem of survival and the continuation of the race. In the struggle against nature and fierce beasts and poisonous snakes, it is sometimes necessary to use "shape" or "painting" to represent things. For example:

Far away from the lead hunt, in order not to get lost in the way, some markings may be made on the rocks or on the trunk of the tree. When hunting, humans also pay attention to the footprints of wild beasts to discern the characteristics of wild beasts.

"Xiang" is the main method of creating Chinese characters and "Yi" to explain reasoning and prophecy.

"day, moon", etc. belong to hieroglyphs, which are the basic parts of character making. These basic components combine with each other to produce a variety of "images" that create more characters. The basic components and characters can also be combined at a higher level to produce a variety of words that can be used to represent various things and ideas.

The concept of "number" was gradually formed in the course of human evolution over a long period of time. The first concepts that humans grasp may be "nothing" and "being".

If you don't have water to drink, you'll be thirsty, and if you don't have anything to eat, you'll be hungry. In the word "month", "" means hand, and "month" table searches for socks to show meat. The original meaning of the word "have" is "there is meat under the hands", and if there is meat to eat, you will not starve.

"Reason" is an extension of "image, number". The evolution of the extension of Chinese characters is mainly expanded through "li", that is, things that are "like", and "li" are also connected. For example, "明" originally means bright, and extends to "see clearly with the eyes, understand with the heart, and make things obvious......And so on.
