in Shang and Zhou dynasties, the common character was Oracle Bone Inscriptions. This is a mature and systematic writing, which laid the foundation for the development of Chinese characters in later generations. After that, the popular bronze inscriptions (inscriptions on bronze inscriptions) have increased in number of words, but their shapes have not changed much.

After the Spring and Autumn Period, due to the warlord regime, "the writing was abnormal". After the unification of the Qin Dynasty, in order to consolidate the rule, the first emperor ordered the Prime Minister Reese, the Zhongche Mansion Order Zhao Gao, the Taishi Order Hu Wujing, etc. to sort out the characters, and based on the original characters of the Qin State, formulated the seal script as a standard font, which was used throughout the country. Later, according to the popular fonts at that time, Cheng Bian sorted out simpler font official scripts, which were widely circulated throughout the country as daily characters.

in Cao Wei's time, Zhong You (a ballad) founded the real script (regular script). So far, the evolution of Chinese characters has been (really) perfect. Not only that, but since the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the writing of Chinese characters has become a special art, namely calligraphy.

With language, human beings can accumulate knowledge and form culture. With words, you can record languages and exchange information. Language distinguishes people from animals, and writing distinguishes the primitive stage of human society from the civilized stage. Writing breaks the limitation of language in time and space, transmits language to distant places and expands the communicative function of language.

The earliest existing Chinese character, Oracle Bone Inscriptions, was produced in the Shang Dynasty, with a history of about 3,4 years. It is already a kind of writing with a relatively strict system. The Yin Ruins culture in Xiaotun is a highly developed civilization only from its well-developed smelting technology and artistic ornamentation on bronzes, pottery and jade. We can completely speculate that the era when Oracle Bone Inscriptions came into being will not be at the crossroads where the Chinese nation moved from ignorance to civilization.

before Chinese characters enter Oracle Bone Inscriptions, there must be a long journey. However, going back along Oracle Bone Inscriptions, we can see the literature records about the origin of Chinese characters, which originated from the ancient books of Zhou and Qin Dynasties, and most of them are legends, and some of them are mythical. Although myths and legends have their historical background and roots, they are a reflection of some historical realities. However, these legends are not detailed and realistic historical features of the origin of Chinese characters, and they can only infer the situation before and after the origin of Chinese characters and the approximate time of their origin. Cultural relics and documents that can prove the historical features of Chinese characters are not systematic and sufficient. Therefore, the origin of Chinese characters can only be based on incoherent historical evidence and speculation according to the development logic, and a scientific hypothesis can be established.

There are many opinions about the origin of Chinese characters, including

1. Chinese characters originated from tying ropes. It is believed that Chinese characters were created under the inspiration of tying ropes in ancient times.

2. Chinese characters begin with eight diagrams. It is believed that characters are generated from divinatory images that are easy to divinate, such as divinatory symbols for heaven, divinatory symbols for earth, divinatory symbols for water, and divinatory symbols for fire.

3. Cang Xie regards turtles as books, and thinks that Cang Xie was inspired by the spirit turtles to create characters.

4. Chinese characters and pictures are of the same origin. It is believed that calligraphy and painting have different names but the same body. In the early days of writing, books are also painted, and paintings are also books.

5. Chinese characters come from pictures. It is considered that they are not from the same source, the pictures come first, the characters come last, and the characters are produced on the basis of pictures.

6. Chinese characters originated from the social practice of our ancestors. It is believed that the generation of characters is directly derived from the original method of recording notes.

7. China is written in the west.

On nonstandard words

First, traditional Chinese characters are used, mainly celebrity inscriptions and traditional Chinese characters of registered trademarks are not marked with "R"; Second, when foreign languages are used alone or both Chinese and foreign languages are used together, standardized Chinese characters are not the main ones, supplemented by foreign languages, and there is a phenomenon that English is huge and Chinese is extremely small; The third is to use typos and other words; Fourth, the use of idioms in advertisements does not conform to the regulations, causing misleading; Fifth, the propaganda and advertising language of health care products are not standardized. "PK" has often appeared in newspapers recently. Although some people may know the meaning of these two initials, such a phrase usage violates state regulations. If the newspaper must quote, it should put double quotation marks on "PK" and add Chinese translation, such as "PK".
