Chinese writing began thousands of years ago.According to an ancient story,a man named Cang Jie invented Chinese writing One winter day while he was hunting,he saw the tracks3 of animals in the snow and observed that each one was different. Then he had the idea that he could use different shapes4 to show different objects.The first Chinese characters were drawings of physical objects.Some characters have been simplified5 and others have been made more difficult over time

However,as a whole,the characters have developed from drawings into standard forms.The character for a mountain was at first three mountaintops together.This became one mountaintop and three lines,and over time turned into the character used nowadays

Not all characters were developed from drawings of objects. Sometimes to express ideas,some characters were made by putting two or more characters together.For example,"rest"was made up of the characters for a man and a tree.Other characters were developed for directions and numbers.It is easy to know their meanings by looking at them,for example,the characters for "up"and "down",which are opposites of each other

Though these kinds of characters show meanings,one of their disadvantages is that they do not show how they should be pronounced.So a method was developed to have one part of a character show the meaning and the other show the pronunciation.Many Chinese characters used today were made this way
