Chinese characters, the foundation of the Chinese language, are intricate symbols with cultural and linguistic significance. Originating from ancient oracle bone script, they consist of radicals, strokes, and semantic-phonetic components. Through historical evolutions such as bronzeware and small seal scripts, Chinese characters have shaped the aesthetics, communication, and thought processes of Chinese people. They form the basis of Chinese texts, characterized by specific grouping, word order, and script styles. The art of Chinese calligraphy enriches the characters’ visual appeal and cultural value. Today, Chinese characters continue to thrive in digital technology, language learning, and as a vital expression of Chinese identity.
