Evolution of Chinese Characters
Chinese characters originated mainly from pictograms, which were the basis for the formation and development of the Chinese character system. The subsequent evolution of the Chinese characters has taken place over a long period of several thousand years, through the stages of oracle bone inscriptions, gold inscriptions, seal scripts, clerical scripts, regular scripts, cursive scripts, and running scripts, all of which are in use, but are still not completely finalized.
The oracle bone script mainly refers to the Yinxu oracle bone script, which was written on tortoise shells and animal bones engraved (or written) by the royal family of China in the late Shang Dynasty (14th to 11th centuries before the Shang Dynasty) for the purpose of divination and record-keeping.
About 150,000 oracle bones and more than 4,500 individual characters were found. These oracle bones are extremely rich in records, involving many aspects of social life in the Shang Dynasty, including not only politics, military, culture and social customs, but also astronomy, calendar, medicine and other science and technology.
From the point of view of about 1,500 characters recognized by the oracle bone inscriptions, it has already possessed the methods of character creation of "pictogram, huiyi, xingyin, referring to things, transcription, and pseudo-borrowing", which demonstrates the unique charm of the Chinese characters. The documents of the Shang Dynasty and the early Western Zhou Dynasty (about 16th to 10th centuries BC) were written on tortoise shell and animal bones.
