Evolution of Chinese writing
Published by walter Ko , 4 years ago
This is a simplified version on the development and evolution of writing Chinese characters, from oracle bone script to the present form. Ever since the First Emperor standardized the form, modern people still can read the ancient text of classics from Chinese culture. No other languages can achieve this!
The oracle bone scripts, only re-discovered in 1899,in mainland China, was detected in Native American rock arts in Southwest and near Barstow of California. Ancient Chinese came to Turtle Islands forty five hundreds ago and put on rock the American genesis?
This book is a wonderful introduction to explore more.
