Features: The ancient and modern Chinese characters have been continuously increasing, and now the number of characters in the book has reached 55,000, most of which are the continuously increasing phono-semantic characters. This fully demonstrates that the potential of Chinese characters has transformed from pictographic and ideographic representation to phono-semantic expression.
The "Origins of Chinese Characters: The Origin Chapter" is an attempt at etymology that draws on the rich achievements of textual research and phonology, integrating insights from multiple disciplines. It breaks free from conventional biases and meticulously analyzes the origins, tracing the flow to uncover the fundamental meanings. As a result, it has identified 200 maternal category meaning-origin characters and 960 sonatal shape-meaning-sound-rhyme origin characters, which are the two unique textual genes of ancient Chinese characters, leading to the transformation of ideographic characters into phono-semantic expression. These 1,160 maternal and sonatal characters are sufficient to comprehensively combine ancient and modern Chinese characters, and even allow later generations to freely combine the maternal category pictographs and sonatal shape-meaning-sound symbols in multiple forms, creating an endless cycle of Chinese characters. This solves the long-standing mystery of the origins of Chinese characters.
