Features: Introduction to "Fundamentals of Chinese Characterology": The square characters we use are one of the oldest scripts in the world, with a history of thousands of years. Similarly ancient scripts include the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs and the cuneiform script of the ancient Mesopotamia, which were developed even earlier than Chinese characters. However, due to historical reasons, they are no longer the written communication tools used by people today, but have become subjects of study for archaeologists. Only Chinese characters remain as the written communication tools used by the Han people for thousands of years.
