I can tell the legend of Cangjie's word-making in my own words.

Legend has it that Cang Xie was a historian of the Yellow Emperor. According to legend, Cang Xie was an official under the Yellow Emperor. At that time, officials would not look down on power and prestige, just like ordinary people, but with different division of labor. The Yellow Emperor appointed him to be in charge of the number of animals in the circle and the food intake of chariots. Cang Xie is very clever and does his best. He soon became familiar with the animals and food he was in charge of, and he had a spectrum in his heart, and he rarely made mistakes. Slowly, the storage of animals and food gradually increased. Cang Xie is in trouble.

Cang Xie tried to tie a knot on the rope all day and all night. He used ropes of different colors to represent all kinds of animals and food. Knots tied with ropes represent each number. But after a long time, it doesn't work. It is easy to tie a knot on the rope to increase the quantity, but it is troublesome to untie the knot on the rope when reducing the quantity. Cang Xie thought of hanging all kinds of shells around the rope instead of what he did.

Seeing that Cang Xie was so capable, the Yellow Emperor asked him to be in charge of more and more things, such as the number of sacrifices each year, the distribution of hunting, and the increase and decrease of tribal population. Cang Xie began to worry again. It was no longer a matter of adding ropes and hanging shells. How can I not make mistakes?

On this day, he took part in collective hunting and came to a fork in the road. Several old people were arguing about which way to take. An old man insisted on going east, saying that there were antelopes there. An old man wants to go north, saying that he can catch up with the deer not far ahead; An old man insisted on going west, saying that there were two tigers, and if they were not killed in time, they would miss the opportunity. Cang Xie asked, the original is determined by looking at the footprints of wild animals on the ground. Cang Xie suddenly felt happy: Since a footprint represents a wild animal, why can't I use a symbol to represent what I am responsible for? He ran home happily and began to create various symbols to represent things. Sure enough, he managed things well.

When the Yellow Emperor knew this, he praised this method and ordered Cang Xie to teach it to all tribes. Gradually, the usage of these symbols became popular. In this way, the text is formed.

Cangjie's word-making is just a legend. Chinese fonts are not created by one person or an era, but the practical experience of several generations of human beings in labor.
