   Chapter 56 of *The Legend of Cangjie's Creation of Characters* tells the story of Cangjie's three-day seclusion to create characters for death. This was his most difficult attempt at creating characters—he had to confront the very nature of death. He recalled his mother's death, the carnage of the Battle of Zhuolu, and the fear that Houtu might already be dead. He wrote the character "" (wáng, meaning death)—but no, this character was too simple to bear the weight of death. He wrote a second version, a third version… until the ninth version, when he finally understood: death is not the end, but another form of existence. He wrote the character "" (míng, meaning darkness)—the sun setting underground, the final resting place after the light. Upon seeing this character, a faint light appeared in the sky of the underworld for the first time—not sunlight, but the light of characters. Houtu's voice came again, weak but clear: "I am still here."… This book is currently being serialized; please leave comments 🙏
