The origin of Chinese characters:
1. The theory of engraving deeds
Zheng Xuan's annotation in "The Book of Changes" says: The book is written on wood, and the side carved on it is a deed. Each one sticks to one, and then they match each other. The word "deed" itself means "engraved", and the contract refers to the agreement carved on the wood. One, two and three of the currently discovered engravings are exactly the same as those in modern Chinese. The four engravings are written as 亖 and the fifth engravings are written as . Based on this, some scholars believe that the engraving of deeds is one of the important origins of Chinese characters.
2. The theory of carved pictures
Guo Moruo believes that early Chinese characters are structurally divided into two major systems, carved and pictures. Carvings are the evolution of knotting ropes and wood ties, and pictures are the evolution of gossip and pictographs. A batch of engraved talismans were unearthed from the Jiahu site more than 8,000 years ago. Cai Yunzhang and Zhang Juzhong said: Among the 21 engraved talismans, 11 characters have been identified, which respectively reflect the images of the two hexagrams Zhongli and Kun.
3. Fuxi’s theory of painting hexagrams
The "Book of Changes" believes that: Fuxi looked up at the sky and observed the images on the sky, and observed the laws on the earth, and the words on the birds and animals were in harmony with the earth. , take all bodies near, take all things far away. So I drew the Bagua diagram. Later generations of translators regarded Fuxi as the first ancestor of humanities and linked the origin of Chinese characters with the Bagua. The pseudo "Biography of Kong An Guo Shangshu" says: Fuxi drew the Eight Diagrams and made written deeds to replace the government of knotting ropes, and these literary books were born.
