Chinese characters have been a written language of the Chinese nation for thousands of years. Its emergence and evolution reflect the wisdom and way of thinking of the ancestors. It is an important symbolic element of Chinese culture and a prominent business card of the Chinese people. This book uses Chinese characters as its outline to weave the web of Chinese culture. The book selects 80 Chinese characters that are representative of Chinese culture, covering five major themes: heaven and earth, nature, moral cultivation, society and people's livelihood, religious culture, and material civilization, and strives to show readers a vivid picture of Chinese history and culture.
Reader comments
This book is really good! It tells Chinese culture through Chinese characters and gave me a deeper understanding of the development and meaning of Chinese characters. Just like I regret not studying hard now, but after reading this book, I found that Chinese characters contain the wisdom of the ancients and the accumulation of history, which makes me cherish the opportunity to study even more. This reminds me of the book "Shuowen Jiezi", which is also based on Chinese characters and interprets the meaning and evolution of Chinese characters. I think these two books are very meaningful, allowing us to better understand the breadth and depth of Chinese culture while understanding Chinese characters.
It's helpful to open the book. I'll read it a second time when I have time.
