Features: There are various types of writing systems in the world, which can mainly be divided into two categories: phonetic and non-phonetic. Chinese characters are non-phonetic; they are a combination of form, sound, and meaning, belonging to ideographic writing. The structural form of Chinese characters is square, hence they are called "square characters." Among the various writing systems created by humans, Chinese characters are a highly charming type of script. Their origin, evolution, and development are rich in knowledge and interesting stories. The purpose of the "Language Forest Fun Talk" column is to introduce the formation, development, and usage of Chinese characters, share knowledge of the Chinese language and stories within it, and promote outstanding traditional culture. The column's positioning is to enhance based on knowledge, closely integrate with reality, and permeate the concepts of character informatization and modernization throughout the program.
