Chinese Characters Introduction
The marks carved on rocks 8,000 years ago are regarded as the first example of Chinese characters, han zi.Ancient Chinese recorded what they saw in the world by drawing.Legends say that Chinese characters are pictures which can be read.
Westerners often say that han zi are pictographs.This is because the first han zi were pictographs which conveyed meaning through physical resemblance to physical objects.
Meanwhile, some han zi are composed of symbols which represent sound.Looking back at history, we can understand the life of people they mention China with han zi.
