Cang Xie is the inventor of Chinese characters. Why do ghosts cry when he creates Chinese characters?

Cang Xie is the inventor of Chinese characters. He said that ghosts cry when they create characters for two reasons. One is that human beings are strong because they create characters, and ghosts are weak; The other is a story made up by Liu An, the king of Huainan. In the story, it is said that the ghost cried after Cang Jie made the word, which actually shows the power of human beings.

The ancient emperors of China, Hou Yi and others all had special functions. Cang Xie lived in the era of the Yellow Emperor. He was good at writing and invented hieroglyphics according to the different shapes of animals and plants, which opened the era when we had words. Liangzhu culture unearthed in Zhejiang Province, China has been more than 5,000 years ago, and the symbols carved on the jade unearthed at that time should be regarded as the earliest characters in the history of China.

There is a saying that "it is better to listen to ghosts crying than to listen to ghosts laughing". This sentence means that ghost crying is weakness, so it is a sign that Cang Xie invented Chinese characters because of ghost crying.

Another story says that Cang Xie invented Chinese characters because a ghost cried, but it actually came from the fictional story of Liu An, the king of Huainan. Liu An, the king of Huainan, is the grandson of Liu Bang, the emperor gaozu of Han Dynasty, and the uncle of Emperor Wudi of Han Dynasty. Liu An can be said to be an inventor. He was the first person to invent tofu and the first person in the world to do experiments with hot air balloons. It can be seen that Liu An likes practice and invention very much.

No matter where this sentence is, it is actually expressing a stronger meaning of human beings. The invention of word-making is actually great. With Chinese characters, we can better convey information and inherit culture, which is also the reason for the rapid development of mankind. Chinese characters can be said to be ubiquitous in our lives, and we can't advance without knowing Chinese characters.
