The emergence, evolution and spread of Chinese characters, homophonic jokes and crossword puzzles are urgent! ! !

In Shang and Zhou Dynasties, the commonly used word was Oracle Bone Inscriptions. This is a mature and systematic text, which laid the foundation for the development of Chinese characters in later generations. After that, the number of popular inscriptions on bronze inscriptions has increased, but the shape has not changed much.

After the Spring and Autumn Period, due to the warlord regime, there were "different glyphs". After the reunification of the Qin Dynasty, in order to consolidate the rule, the first emperor ordered the Prime Minister Reese, the Zhongche government to order Zhao Gao, and the Taishi government to order Hu Wujing. The characters were sorted out, and based on the original characters of Qin State, the seal script was formulated as a standard font, which was widely used in the whole country. Later, according to the popular fonts at that time, Bian Cheng sorted out simpler font official scripts, which were widely circulated throughout the country as daily words.

In the Cao Wei era, Zhong You (a rumor) founded the real script (regular script). So far, the evolution of Chinese characters is (really) perfect. Moreover, since the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the writing of Chinese characters has become a special art, namely calligraphy.

With language, human beings can accumulate knowledge and form culture. With words, you can record languages and exchange information. Language distinguishes people from animals, and writing distinguishes the primitive stage of human society from the civilized stage. Writing breaks the limitation of language in time and space, spreads language to distant places and expands the communicative function of language.

Oracle Bone Inscriptions is the earliest extant Chinese character, which originated in Shang Dynasty and has a history of about 3,400 years. It is already a relatively strict system of writing. Judging from its advanced smelting technology and artistic ornamentation on bronzes, pottery and jade, the Yin ruins culture in Xiaotun is a highly developed civilization. We can speculate that the era when Oracle Bone Inscriptions was born will not be at the crossroads when the Chinese nation moved from ignorance to civilization.

Before Chinese characters enter Oracle Bone Inscriptions, there must be a long journey. However, walking back along Oracle Bone Inscriptions, we can see the literature records about the origin of Chinese characters, which originated from Zhou and Qin ancient books, and most of them are legends and some are myths. Although myths and legends have their historical background and roots, they are the reflection of some historical realities. However, these legends are not the detailed and realistic historical features of the origin of Chinese characters, and they can only infer the situation before and after the origin of Chinese characters and the approximate time of their origin. Cultural relics and documents that can prove the historical characteristics of Chinese characters are not systematic and sufficient. Therefore, the origin of Chinese characters can only be based on incoherent historical evidence and speculation according to the logic of development, so as to establish a scientific hypothesis.

There are many theories about the origin of Chinese characters, and scholars of all ages have expressed their opinions, including

1, Chinese characters originated from knots. It is believed that Chinese characters were created under the inspiration of ancient knots.

2. Chinese characters begin with gossip. It is believed that characters are produced by hexagrams of Yi Gua, such as dry hexagrams representing heaven, Kun Gua representing earth, Kan Gua representing water, and leaving hexagrams representing fire.

3. Cang Xie regarded the tortoise as a book, and thought that Cang Xie was inspired by Gui Ling to create characters.

Chinese characters and pictures are homologous. Think that the names of calligraphy and painting are different. In the early days of writing, books were also painted, and paintings were also books.

5. Chinese characters come from pictures. It is considered that it is not a source, the picture comes first, the word comes last, and the word is produced on the basis of the picture.

6. Chinese characters originated from the social practice of our ancestors. It is believed that the generation of words comes directly from the original method of taking notes.

7. China figures in the West.

On the nonstandard use of words

First, the use of traditional Chinese characters, mainly the traditional Chinese characters of celebrity inscriptions and registered trademarks are not marked with the "R" sign; Second, when foreign languages are used alone or in combination with Chinese and foreign languages, standardized Chinese characters are the main ones, supplemented by foreign languages, and there is a phenomenon that English is huge and Chinese is extremely small; The third is to use words such as typos; Fourth, the use of idioms in advertisements does not conform to the regulations, which leads to misleading; Fifth, the advertising language of health care products is not standardized. "PK" has been frequently seen in newspapers recently. Although some people may know the meaning of these two initials, the usage of such phrases is against the state regulations. If the newspaper must quote, it is necessary to put double quotation marks on "PK" and add Chinese translation, such as "PK".
