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.
The earliest symbols were carved more than 8000 years ago. 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. About a century ago, there was an important archaeological discovery in Anyang, China, which was the discovery of Yin Ruins and Oracle Bone Inscriptions. Since then, China's research on the history of Yin and Shang Dynasties has entered a new era. According to Chinese ancient philologists, Oracle Bone Inscriptions is "the earliest and relatively complete writing that can be seen at present". It is complicated, with more than 3,000 words found, including nouns, pronouns, verbs, auxiliary verbs, adjectives, etc., and it can also form a narrative of more than 170 words. Therefore, scholars affirm that Oracle Bone Inscriptions is by no means the primary stage of my China writing, and it must have developed for a long time before it.

The development of Chinese characters has gone through several stages, such as inscriptions on bronze, seal script, seal script, official script, cursive script, regular script and running script. The passage time of these fonts is sometimes not completely divided, but parallel or cross.
Bronze Inscriptions-Bronze Inscriptions, also known as Zhong Dingwen and Inscriptions, are words cast on bronzes. It appeared on bronzes in the late Shang Dynasty and developed in the Western Zhou Dynasty. Generally speaking, the inscriptions on bronzes in the late Shang Dynasty are no more than 50 words, and the characters cast on Mao in the late Western Zhou Dynasty are as long as 497 words. At present, there are more than 10000 pieces of Shang and Zhou bronzes unearthed. According to the statistics of the Collection of Jinwen compiled by Rong Geng, an ancient philologist, there are more than 3,000 words * * *, of which more than 2,000 words have been recognized. The shape of bronze inscriptions is very similar to that of Oracle Bone Inscriptions, which is basically a glyph.
By the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, great changes had taken place in China's society, the economy and culture flourished, and the application of characters became more and more extensive. At this time, the characters tend to be simplified, and the various vassal States have formed a situation of "different sounds and different characters" because of disunity. Generally speaking, the State of Qin uses the big seal script, and the six countries use the "ancient prose of the six countries". The ancient prose of the Six Kingdoms is also a kind of "seal script". The meaning of seal script is to lengthen the strokes and become a soft long line. In 22 1 year BC, Qin Shihuang unified China, unified the national writing, currency and weights and measures, and stipulated the national standard font. Qin Shihuang ordered Li Si and others to sort out the characters and change the fonts. Li Si wrote the standard font Cang Zhuan Pian, Zhao Gao wrote Love Calendar and Hu Wujing wrote Bo Xue Pian, so that the whole country can write in their simplified fonts. This is Xiao Zhuan.
The seal script picture official script-Xiao Zhuan is gradually replaced by a more convenient and simplified official script. It is said that official script was originally used by the lowly people at the lower level. At that time, "official script" meant "apprentice". Originally, the simple official script was written for them. Later, it was widely used among the people and became popular. Even the ruling class had to write in this language, which became the official writing method of the whole country in the Han Dynasty. The Han tablet handed down now is written in this kind of official script.
Li Shu Cao Quanbei's cursive script-Li Shu later evolved into a cursive script. This is a fast style of official script, which has developed into an independent font since the Eastern Han Dynasty.
The cursive script picture is regular script-with cursive script, there will be regular script, which is also commonly known as "official book" or "real book" Matured in the Eastern Han Dynasty, it prevailed in Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties.
Running script-a font that finally appeared in the late Eastern Han Dynasty is running script, which basically looks like regular script and can be said to be a tribe of regular script.
There are regular script, running script and cursive script in running script, which have been passed down to this day. The origin of Chinese civilization has been passed down for five thousand years, and writing is an important part of inheriting splendid civilization.
Summary: With the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, ancient and mysterious characters are going abroad to the world with their unique charm, so that more and more people can experience China, an ancient civilization!
