Chinese characters have a long history and are one of the oldest characters in the world. The oldest and most complete Chinese character we can see now is Oracle Bone Inscriptions in Yin Ruins, which was used by Shang people more than 3,000 years ago. Chinese characters should be produced much earlier than Oracle Bone Inscriptions. There were many theories about the generation of Chinese characters in the past.

About cangjie's word-making. This is the most popular statement about the origin of Chinese characters. Xu Shen said in Shuo Wen Jie Zi: "Cang Xie, the history of the Yellow Emperor, had a foresight of the hoof tracks of birds and animals, and knew their differences, so he made a book contract first. ..... "Cang Xie of Lisi" and "Cang Xie writes books to teach children"; "Huainanzi Ben Jing Xun" "Cang Xie once wrote a book, but it rained at night and ghosts cried"; The Four Eyes of Cang Xie in On Gu Xiang. According to the above ancient records, the creation of Chinese characters should be attributed to Cang Xie. It is said that Cang Xie is a historian of the Yellow Emperor. He has four eyes, bright eyes and a strange face. He can look up at the sky, overlook the geography, distinguish the traces of birds and beasts, and see things that people can't see. Legend has it that such an extraordinary person created words, which shows the great influence of words on human beings. Of course, Cang Xie's characterization is just a legend. Chinese characters are not the invention of individuals, but the product of social development to a certain stage and the crystallization of collective wisdom. If there is a Cang Xie in history, he may also be a collector or organizer of words.

Knot notes. It is the earliest saying that Chinese characters originated. "Hey. Cohesion says: "In ancient times, tying knots was the rule, and later sages used calligraphy easily", which means that there were no words in ancient times, and people used tying knots to help them remember. It was not until later generations that the sages used words instead of knots. Knotting rope is a record that primitive people used a rope to record time, number of people, men and women, the position and different shapes of knots and express different meanings. There is a record in Chinese ancient books that "tie a rope, make an appointment with its major events, tie a big knot with it, and make a summary of its rope" Not only in China, but also in ancient Egypt, Persia, Africa, and Australia, the aborigines used tying ropes to take notes. Knot is a way to help remember and transmit information, which has been widely used. However, tying a rope is to record things with physical objects, which cannot be directly developed into words. It can be regarded as an exploration before the invention of words.

Gossip. In the preface of Kong Anguo's History Book (which is a fake, but very ancient), he said: "The ancients loved the king of Xi family in the world and began to draw gossip and make a book contract instead of tying the rope, so they were born out of literary books." "Yi Gan Wei's Letters" holds that: Gangua is Tian Zi's ancient prose; Kungua, ancient Chinese characters; Deviating from divination, the ancient Chinese character of fire in China; Kangua, an ancient water character in China; Sea melon, ancient prose with wind characters; China ancient divination and thunder writing; Gengua, ancient mountain words; Dugua, Zezi's ancient prose.

At present, it is generally believed that the origin of Chinese characters comes from pictures. Lu Xun said in "Talking about Foreign Languages": "He painted a cow for a reason, for the sake of bison, or hunting bison, and forbidding bison." He also said, "Some have carved some pictures on the hilt, and some have painted some pictures on the portal. As a result, there are more and more words, and historians can perfunctory notes as soon as they collect them. " Here, the origin of Chinese characters is vividly described. In other words, pictures are used to remember things and express meaning. They are directly related to the development of writing, but they do not mean writing. Only when the lines of the picture tend to be simple and consistent can the sound be read out and express a certain meaning, and it will become the original text.

Regarding the origin of Chinese characters, there are many sayings in China ancient literature, such as "knot rope theory", "gossip theory", "picture theory" and "calligraphy contract theory". Ancient books also generally recorded the legend of Cang Xie, the historian of the Yellow Emperor who created Chinese characters. Modern scholars believe that systematic writing tools cannot be completely created by one person. If Cang Xie really exists, he should be a text organizer or publisher.

In recent decades, Chinese archaeologists have published a series of unearthed materials about the origin of Chinese characters earlier than Oracle Bone Inscriptions in Yin Ruins. These materials mainly refer to the carved or painted symbols that appeared on pottery in the late primitive society and early historical society, and also include a few symbols engraved on Oracle Bone Inscriptions, jade and stone tools. It can be said that they provide a new basis for explaining the origin of Chinese characters. Wang, a doctoral supervisor of Zhengzhou University, made a systematic investigation and comparison of the carving symbols on pottery pieces unearthed from more than 100 archaeological sites in China, and thought that the earliest carving symbols in China appeared in Jiahu site in Wuyang, Henan Province, with a history of more than 8,000 years.
