Unlike English, German, French and other phonography, Chinese characters in our country are ideographic characters, and Chinese characters directly express their meanings in writing. When you see a Chinese character, you know what it means, but phonography, such as English, can't do this. You must remember the things corresponding to a certain word.
As we all know, Chinese characters were invented by Cang Xie. When he started to invent Chinese characters, he used images as the starting point. For example, the word "Moon" was the shape of a moon from Oracle Bone Inscriptions, but it gradually evolved into the word "Moon" now, and some people teased China's Chinese characters, which were just paintings.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, in order to meet the needs of writing and communication, Chinese characters have been simplified, and there are not many commonly used words, and some rare words have begun to fade out of our daily vision. For example, I believe that few people can recognize these four Chinese characters, and when they were invented, they had to admire the wisdom of the ancients in word formation.

Chinese character is an ideographic character, which directly expresses its meaning in the composition of Chinese characters. Therefore, by studying the composition of Chinese characters, we can get a general understanding of the ancient wisdom of word-making.
There are a lot of rare words in Chinese characters, which can be said to be all kinds of strange words, not only with many strokes, but also with complex structures. Because of this, a large number of rare words hardly appear in our daily life.
However, at some moments, uncommon words also have their unique uses. When Cang Xie first created words, he drew a crescent moon to represent the moon, and a circle to represent the sun when he saw the sun.
According to this logic, the word "human" was invented, because that's how ordinary people walk. Cang Xie used this method to create many basic Chinese characters.
With the gradual enrichment of people's production activities, the basic Chinese characters can no longer meet the needs of daily life. In order to solve this problem, Cang Xie had to continue to create characters. His method is very clever, that is, using basic Chinese characters to make different permutations and combinations to form new Chinese characters, which is the source of radicals.
For example, if people want to express the state of dawn, it would be too complicated to express it by painting. So Cang Xie thought that dawn was nothing more than the setting of the moon and the rising of the sun, so he put the sun in front of the month, which formed the word Ming, which means dawn.
