As we all know, Chinese characters in China have developed for a long time.
Oracle Bone Inscriptions was discovered by the scholar Wang. Oracle Bone Inscriptions is both a hieroglyph and a phonography. Until now, there are still some pictographs in Chinese characters, which are very vivid. Oracle Bone Inscriptions was followed by bronze inscriptions, which were thick and fat, with many bends and lumps. Later, Li Si, the prime minister of Qin Dynasty, created the seal script, perfected the lines and norms, and almost completely separated from pictures and words, becoming a neat, harmonious and very beautiful rectangular square font. In the Han Dynasty, the official script developed to a mature stage, and the readability and writing speed of Chinese characters were greatly improved. With the further development of regular script, the structure and brushwork of regular script are more mature, and the components of official script are less and less. The development history of cursive script can be divided into two periods, the creation period and the collection period. The creation period of cursive script refers to the Han dynasty when cursive script was formed, and a large number of cursive writers created countless cursive scripts. Running script is a font between cursive script and regular script. Its characteristic is to use Lian Bi appropriately and save strokes on the premise of keeping the outline of regular script.
You see, how interesting and long the evolution of our Chinese characters is!
The Evolution of Chinese Characters Chapter II Chinese characters have experienced more than 600 years of evolution, including Oracle Bone Inscriptions, Dazhuan, Xiaozhuan, Lishu, regular script, cursive script and running script. Shuo Wen Jie Zi sums up the structural rules of Chinese characters into six books: pictographic, ideographic, knowing, pictophonetic, transliteration and borrowing.
Legend has it that Cang Xie saw the footprints of birds in the wild, which were horizontal and vertical. It was very vivid and interesting, so he imitated the footprints of birds, created strokes and shaped characters according to the shapes of mountains, rivers, trees, people and animals.
Chinese characters are closely related to our lives, and we can't do without them at any time. Chinese characters, we love you!
Today, we have comprehensively studied the Chinese characters taught by the teacher Wandering in the Kingdom of Chinese Characters, which is not only interesting and magical, but also has a long history and rich cultural connotations. Yes! Learning Chinese characters is actually stepping into the long history of the Chinese nation, and let us touch the pulse of more than 3,000 years of history.
After more than 6,000 years of changes, Chinese characters have evolved from Oracle Bone Inscriptions-bronze inscriptions-seal script-regular script-running script; The evolution of Chinese characters can be simply summarized into five stages: sound, shape, image, number and reason.
"Sound" is an important part of language. In the distant and ancient times, people differentiated the "sound" representing something from instinct and the sound of nature, which is the evolution of pronunciation; "Form" is the second important part of language. In ancient times, people used shapes or paintings to represent things, such as the stone paintings of Helan Mountain, which have become the remains of modern people studying the origin of ancient culture; "Image" is the main method of word-making, reasoning and prediction. Hieroglyphs combine with each other to produce "images" and create more characters; "Number" has been gradually formed by human beings for a long time. You are made up of hands and meat. You won't be hungry if you have meat to eat. "You" is further differentiated to form the concept of "one, two, three, many", that is, you will be thirsty without water and hungry without food. "Li" is the development of images and numbers, and Chinese characters are mainly developed through "Li".
The evolution of Chinese characters allows us to see the five basic word-making methods of "sound, shape, image, number and reason", the historical evolution of Chinese characters, the historical progress and the historical deduction process.
During the summer vacation, my mother took me to Xinhua Bookstore to read. I found a very interesting book-Chinese Character Dictionary. This book describes the origin, history and significance of each Chinese character in China.
For example, "Shuang", which we all like very much, originally refers to a person standing by the window, with crossed windows on both sides of the person, which makes people feel bright and cool. How comfortable it would be if there happened to be a breeze blowing in the hot summer! Therefore, whenever I see this word, I seem to feel waves of wind blowing through my ears, which makes me very awake and "cool"!
Of all the Chinese characters, the most interesting one is not my zodiac "chicken"! The chicken in Oracle Bone Inscriptions simply drew a big cock. Later, with the evolution of Chinese characters, it didn't become the word "chicken" until after Xiao Zhuan. A simple word has a history of thousands of years in China. It is really not easy!
There are also some Chinese characters whose ancient meaning is quite different from modern meaning, such as "Shuo" and "Yue" in ancient times. Oracle Bone Inscriptions drew a mouth and added a short bar to show that he opened his mouth and spoke. Later, it was replaced by "saying" to express joy. Stranger still, the ancients used "tax" to express joy. Speaking of which, am I confused? In fact, the Chinese character culture in China has a long history!
There are many interesting Chinese characters in the dictionary, all of which have a long history. They let me know how amazing the evolution of Chinese characters is!
The Evolution of Chinese Characters The five Chinese characters in Grade Five are China's Chinese characters. We deal with them every day, but we don't know that they have a history of more than 6000 years. Chinese characters have seven evolution processes, which are the crystallization of the wisdom of the Chinese nation.
The earliest writing is Oracle Bone Inscriptions in Shang Dynasty. As the name implies, it is written on the bones or shells of animals. This kind of writing is the oldest and has a strong pictograph, which is probably pictograph. Watching "fish" is like swimming in the water; Look at the "bird", as if flying freely in the sky; Look at that "horse", as if running on the grassland; Look at the "sun" and "moon", as if everything has light and everywhere is full of brilliance.
Followed by the bronze inscriptions of the Zhou Dynasty. This kind of writing is engraved on the bronze ware, which has got rid of the picture style and become a little simpler, with rules. From here, little by little.
Then came the small seal script that appeared in the Qin Dynasty. Compared with the big seal, the small seal is much simpler, square, and the strokes appear slowly, which lays the foundation for the later creation of Chinese characters.
Then the official script appeared in the Han Dynasty. The official script is more standardized, the strokes are close to modern, more and more square, and more and more like modern Chinese characters. It can be said that official script is the most beautiful.
Then the regular script of Wei and Jin Dynasties. Regular script is very famous, and there are many regular script calligraphers. The font looks strong and beautiful.
In order to facilitate writing, cursive script appeared. Cursive script is a messy couplet, which often makes people unable to see what is written.
Finally, our current running script. It not only solves the difficulty of regular script, but also allows people to write easily without scribbling.
This is China's Chinese character, which has witnessed a history of more than 6,000 years and demonstrated the wisdom of the people of China.
Through this study, I understand that Chinese characters have changed for more than six thousand years! Very precious!
Chinese characters are firstly: Oracle Bone Inscriptions in Shang Dynasty, then the bronze inscription in Zhou Dynasty, then the seal script in Qin Dynasty, then the official script in Han Dynasty, then the regular script in Wei and Jin Dynasties, and finally the cursive script and running script in Eastern Han Dynasty. Oracle Bone Inscriptions is characterized by being engraved on tortoise shells or animal shells; Bronze inscriptions are characterized by being written on bronze or gold wares. Xiao Zhuan is characterized by complex strokes and simple forms. The official script is rectangular, and the cursive script is characterized by simple structure and continuous strokes. As long as everyone knows their characteristics, they can be distinguished one by one. So if you want to talk about the evolution of Chinese characters, you should first be familiar with the structure and shape of these characters, and then talk about it! Or you'll make a fool of yourself!
Let me tell you a story! Since Qin Shihuang unified the world, he thought that the seven languages were different and it was difficult for him to read, so he ordered Li Si to unify the characters so that he could read them. Soon, Reese showed his seal script to Qin Shihuang. Qin Shihuang was very happy, and this order was immediately used in junior high school. Later, a slave in the prison wrote Qin characters every day and changed the seal script into his own. Qin Shihuang was very happy to see it, so he changed the seal script into an official script, which was made by Li Si and his minions together, making the finishing touch.
The evolution of Chinese characters 7 Chinese characters are a way of communication between people. They are widely used and can be seen in every corner. Without them, a part of human life seems to be missing. It is not a rigid symbol, but an elf with a unique personality, which can express our joy, anger, sadness and joy. I think if we lose it, the world will become dull and boring, and it will be a world without feelings.
The origin of Chinese characters is inferred step by step from hieroglyphics. For example, the word "car" in Oracle Bone Inscriptions looks like there are two tires under the car with a place for people to sit. Chinese characters are also unique. Adding a radical to the word "Lian" can form new Chinese characters, such as "dui" and "nephew". The word "cry" looks like tears at first glance, and the word "mountain" looks like a mountain at first glance. The word "light" makes people feel floating in the sky, and the word "heavy" is heavy at first sight. These wonderful pictures composed of strokes, these wonderful combinations composed of horizontal, vertical, left and right strokes are so similar to human temperament. It is like an ocean of wisdom, in which we can soar to our hearts' content.
Chinese characters from Shang and Zhou Dynasties to Western Zhou Dynasty, Spring and Autumn Period, Warring States Period, Qin Dynasty, Han Dynasty and Tang Dynasty. The main carriers are tortoise shells, animal bones, bronzes, stones, bamboo slips, silk books and paper. The change of Chinese characters' glyphs is from complex to simple, and the appearance of each new word has changed the characteristics that the previous glyphs are difficult to write and remember.
I firmly believe that in the future, Chinese characters will be cherished by more and more people in the world!
The evolution of Chinese characters is interesting. I will learn more in the future.
