Ancient China created hieroglyphics and ancient Wen Jia.

Shang rulers are superstitious about whether there will be disasters, whether it will rain, whether there will be a good harvest of crops, whether there will be a victory in the war, what to sacrifice to ghosts and gods, and divination based on fertility, disease, dreaming and other things to understand the will of ghosts and gods and the quality of things. The materials used for divination are mainly tortoise's bellybutton, carapace and cattle's scapula. Small pits are usually dug or drilled on the back of Oracle bones for divination. This kind of pit is called "drilling" by experts in Oracle Bone Inscriptions. Heating these pits during divination leads to cracks on the surface of Oracle bones. This kind of crack is called "omen" The word "Bu" in Oracle Bone Inscriptions is like a symbol. People engaged in divination judge good or bad according to the various shapes of divination. According to Oracle Bone Inscriptions in the Shang Dynasty, Chinese characters at that time had developed into a complete Chinese writing system. In the discovered Oracle Bone Inscriptions of Yin Ruins, the number of words has reached about 4000. There are a lot of signifiers, pictographs, knowing characters, and many pictographs. These words are very different in appearance from the words we use now. But from the point of word formation, they are basically the same. Siguwen is the earliest text used to record astronomy, calendar, meteorology, geography, country, lineage, family, figures, officials, conquest, prison, agriculture, animal husbandry, hunting, transportation, religion, sacrifice, disease, birth, disaster and so on.

Hieroglyphics, derived from hieroglyphics, are the most primitive method of word-making, with reduced pictographs and enhanced symbolism. Because some physical things and abstract things cannot be drawn, it has great limitations. Egyptian hieroglyphics, Sumerian languages, ancient Indian languages and Oracle Bone Inscriptions in China are all independently produced from the simplest pictures and patterns in primitive society. About 5000 years ago, the ancient Egyptians invented hieroglyphics. This writing is slow and difficult to understand. As time went on, even the Egyptians themselves finally forgot how to interpret it. Later, after French explanation, this writing was recognized. Dongba script and Shuishu script adopted by Naxi people in China are the only hieroglyphic systems still in use.
