The development of China characters can be divided into several stages.

Xu Shen is in> It is said that Chinese characters are made in Cang Xie. & lt& lt Huai Nan Zi >; He said, "Cang Xie wrote a book before. It rained heavily and ghosts cried at night." The ancients believed that Cangjie created characters. In the 20th century, the basis of negation was not that the characters at that time were not found, but that everything was just a legend.

Oracle Bone Inscriptions's age will not be earlier than 3300, and the characters of Xia Dynasty are rarely found, but the characters of Longshan culture have been found. One is in Taosi, Shanxi, and the other is in Zouping, Shandong. Taosi site is the capital of Yaoshun, and the word "Wen" found is written with a brush. Zou Ping Ding Gong Wen Tao *** 1 1, read by Mr. Shi Feng as: "Charming divination, Apu blaspheming, praying, auspicious growth, a hundred chickens turn their paws." This is an Oracle with chicken bones.

The pottery age of Dawenkou culture is more than 4800 years ago, which has been confirmed. Its distribution area is in Shandong, Anhui, Zhejiang and other places, and the words are Fan, Xiang, Nan, Jin and Sui. These characters can be widely used in a certain period and region, and have specific meanings. Their configuration and significance are related to later Chinese characters. Therefore, it is believed that it is a fact that China ancestors used Chinese characters five thousand years ago. If Cang Xie is the official history of the Yellow Emperor, it is possible to create characters.

..... The creation of characters should be attributed to many people, and it is also attributed to a person's greatest achievement.

According to the twelve-year records in Zuo Zhuan and Zhao Gong, King Chu Ling said that historians read the Three Tombs, Five Classics, Eight Suos and Nine Hills by their faces. The Three Graves are the books of Fuxi, Shennong and Huangdi, and the Five Classics are the books of Shao Hao, Zhuan Xu, Di Ku and Yao Shun. Although these words and articles have not been preserved, we have no reason to deny their existence. Being able to understand those words by reading them means that they are different from the prevailing words at that time, and most people don't know them. Zhou Li said that "the book of internal history of three emperors and five emperors" also showed that the historical materials of three emperors and five emperors were still preserved. All kinds of philosopher's works and historical records are well-founded and should not be fabricated. Many books have been lost since the Tang and Song Dynasties. Can we say they don't exist?

The earliest pottery carving symbols found in various places were more than 8,000 years ago, and the most famous Banpo pottery carving symbol must be the product of Yangshao culture. It is still difficult to judge whether such symbols are words or other marks. Both Oracle Bone Inscriptions and the "name of things" are conscious records of our ancestors, representing the development of culture. Some people say that those symbols are arbitrary, but I think the symbols on pottery are meaningful. Pottery with pottery symbols is often found in tombs, and it can't be carved at will, otherwise it is blasphemy. Whether pottery is used for religion or life, it is meaningless to add some useless nicks to a good work of art at will.

We can have a comprehensive understanding of the history of Chinese characters by studying the ancient characters from all over China, including the lost ancient characters, and the ancient characters from all over the world. More than 5,000 years have passed since the Maya era, but written records can only be traced back to 328 AD. Sichuan Bashu Yu Tu language, similar to Mayan language, can be traced back to the Warring States period at the earliest, later than Bashu language. There are more than 50 lines of symbols similar to characters on an ancient boundary tablet in Yanting, Sichuan, and some of them are close to Banpo pottery symbols. Women's script, meat script and water script are also scripts with a long history, which are still in use today.

In the history of China, Chinese characters have strengthened the cohesion of the Chinese nation and preserved the earliest documents in the world. Chinese characters were once written by Korea, Japan and Vietnam, and made irreplaceable contributions to the recording of historical materials in Central Asia and South Asia. In the e era, Chinese and Chinese characters will have great prospects.
