The font changes and evolution of Chinese characters include: Oracle Bone Inscriptions, inscriptions on bronze, big seal script, small seal script, official script, cursive script, regular script and running script. The above seven fonts are called "seven Chinese characters". The evolution of Chinese characters can be summarized into five stages: sound, shape, image, number and reason.
"Sound" is an important part of any language. In the distant and long Archaean, human beings gradually diverged from the instinctive "ridiculous ……" or the imitation of nature's "birdsong, insect song, animal roar, thunder and rain …", which is the evolution of pronunciation. For example, "Mom, Ba" is used to represent "Mom, Dad", which may be different from crying "Ah …". Phonetics has developed into a very complex system in modern times. Chinese has about 4×400= 1600 sounds.
"Form" is the second important part of language, but it is not necessary. In ancient times, human beings mainly faced the problems of survival and racial continuity. In the process of fighting against nature, wild animals and poisonous snakes, it is sometimes necessary to use "shape" or "painting" to express things. For example, in order not to get lost in hunting, some marks may be made on rocks or tree trunks. When hunting, humans also pay attention to observing the footprints of wild animals to identify their characteristics.
"Image" is the main method to create Chinese characters and explain things in the Book of Changes. "Sun, Moon" and so on belong to hieroglyphics and are the basic components of word-making. These basic components combine with each other to produce various "images" and create more words. Basic components and characters can also be combined at a higher level to produce many characters used to express various things and ideas.
The concept of "number" is gradually formed in the long-term evolution of human beings. The concepts that humans first master may be "nothing" and "being". Without water, you will be thirsty, without food, you will be hungry. "Is there-?" ? In the word "moon", it means hand, and "moon" means meat. The word "you" originally meant "you have meat under your hand". If you have meat, you won't be hungry. "You" is further divided to form the concept of "one, two, three and many".
"Reason" is the extension of "image and number". The evolution of Chinese character extension is mainly based on "reason", that is, things close to each other are also related by "reason". For example, "Ming" means bright, which is extended to "eyes can see clearly, hearts can understand, things become obvious ……" and so on.
