Product Description
Presents the evolution, configuration and artistic aspects of Chinese characters, to better understand the beauty of the Chinese language and appreciate the cultural information it conveys.
“Like the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs and cuneiform characters of Mesopotamia, Chinese characters are independent and important symbols developed in ancient China and have made indelible contributions to the development of early human civilisation. The origin and transformation of the hieroglyphs, cuneiform, and Chinese characters are not synchronised, but they all share a history of thousands of years. Chinese characters have evolved from the earliest oracle bone scripts to the most widely used characters in the world across different fonts that can be traced back to the same origin.”
