Chinese ancient books on the "结绳记事", "Lease wood for the text" and other records, this is the commonly used method of early Notepad Unfortunately, these substances can not long survive, so the notebook was not aware of the situation. However, Anyang 150000 Xiaotun found Oracle bones, turtle shells and cattle in the engraved text胛骨very well to keep down the total number of words to reach 3500 levels. Word from the structure of Oracle, in addition to shape, the shape the sound, knowing, under the guise of characters such as a more progressive approach has been widely applied. Can be seen in more than 3000 years ago, the Shang Dynasty characters have reached a considerable degree of comprehensive, NA me before it must have a longer development process.
Archaeological discoveries have proved that China's ancestors as early as seven or eight thousand years ago described in the shells on the symbol. In five or six thousand years before the Yangshao culture, culture Dawenkou pottery found in the characterization of many dozens of symbols, some of which are seen with the bones on a similar character, which some people think they are text early.

Followed by "Lu Spring and Autumn" and "Han Fei" in Xunzi "people who say it is a good book, and Chuan Cangjie alone, and I also" based on, and by extension, its main point is "to make Cangjie Book. " After the Han Dynasty, in the "Huainanzi" and "Lun Heng" in from "Cangjie defined" development "Cangjie eyes", the beginning of deification. Han纬书in particular, and then rendering, Cangjie "born to the book, but also by the river the book catalog, so the poor of the world changed, look up song won奎星trend, down text review Toba fish, beautiful hand, and a text "(" Spring and Autumn bracteata million life "). After the magic愈演愈, Cangjie the development of a "historian of the Yellow Emperor" and other legends. Yellow Emperor is the primitive society of the late leader of the tribal alliance, one of the state machinery was not evident that the "historian", which is obviously the later generations with future generations the name of the state machinery of the Official figures set for the results of prehistoric legend.

The process of creation Cangjie
   Chinese characters first-hand the birth of non-reactive one, is the early result of the development of long-term accumulation.

Cangjie handed down the legend of creation that Cangjie development should be in Chinese characters with a significant contribution to the special characters, he may be the expression of Chinese characters are collated.
Cangjie characters on history there is such a legend similar to the myth that is Cangjie historian of the Yellow Emperor, Huangdi unified China after the end ropes are the methods used Notepad far can not meet the requirements of the historian on the life of his Cangjie think of a way, characters. Thus, Cangjie on the south bank of the Wei River, a house built high off the stage, dedicated to building character to play. However, he苦思冥想, like a long time did not create a character. Coincidence to say that one day Cangjie is the time to think, I saw a Phoenix flying the sky, his mouth out of a thing down, just before the fall Cangjie, Cangjie to pick up, see above there is a蹄印can Cangjie not identify what is the beast蹄印and asked a hunter happened to come. Hunter looked at said: "This is the蹄印Pi Xiu, and other mammals蹄印not the same as the other beasts of蹄印In the beginning, I know." Cangjie hunters listened very inspired words. He thought, all things have their own features, such as to grasp the characteristics of things, to draw the image, we can understand, this is not the word is it? Since then, attention will Cangjie careful observation of the characteristics of a variety of things, such as day, month, stars, clouds, mountains, rivers, lakes, sea, and a variety of animals, application objects, and its features, painted graphics, to create many象形字. This long-term commitment, long hours, and the word Cangjie made it a lot.
