What are the characteristics of Chinese characters

1. Beautiful

It has become an art - the art of calligraphy. The art of calligraphy in Chinese characters is incomparable to any other script. The following works of ancient calligraphy have become priceless. The famous ones are the Lanting Preface, the Divine Counselor's Jisheng Gongde Stele, the Xuanxiu Pagoda Stele, the nephew-sacrificing manuscripts, and countless other works.

2. Highly recognizable

Human eye view is always a surface, not a line, so linear arrangement is not easy to recognize; lining up in squares is clear at a glance. Pinyin = linear script; Chinese characters = square script. Chinese characters are more efficient to read than Pinyin characters.

3. Image, Intuition

Chinese characters are hieroglyphs, and their distinctive feature is that the connection between the shape of a character and its meaning is very close, and they have obvious intuition and representativeness. This makes them the most informative characters in the world, making them easy to recognize and easy to associate with, which is also very convenient for speedy reading.

Expanded Information:

Chinese Characters (Pinyin: h) p>Chinese characters (pinyin: hàn zì, Zhuyin symbol: ㄏㄢ?ㄗ), also known as Zhongyin (Chinese character), 中国字 (Chinese character), and Fangzhi (square character), belong to the ideographs of the grapheme-syllable script. Chinese characters are the characters used for writing Chinese , and are also borrowed for writing Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, and other languages. It is a widely used script in the Chinese character culture circle, and is the only highly developed ideographic script that is still widely used in the world.

Broadly speaking, Chinese characters refer to characters ranging from oracle bone inscriptions, the Great Seal Script, the Golden Script, the Preliminary Seal Script, and the Small Seal Script, to the Official Script, the Cursive Script, the Regular Script, and the Running Script; narrowly speaking, they refer to characters written in the standardized Shogun script, which is the modern Chinese character in common use today. Chinese characters were invented and improved by Han Chinese ancestors in ancient times, and the exact history of Chinese characters can be traced back to the oracle bone inscriptions of the Shang Dynasty around 1300 BC, the seal scripts of the Prehistoric Period, and the Jinwen scripts. It was then developed into the Small Seal Script of the Qin Dynasty, the Official Script of the Han Dynasty, and the Regular Script of the Tang Dynasty, which is the standard handwriting font used today, the Regular Script.
