Cang Xie 10

One is Cang Xie, who is said to be the historian of the Yellow Emperor and the creator of Chinese characters.

Archaeologists in China have found carved symbols (including a small amount of characters) in Neolithic sites 7000-8000 years ago, and a large number of characters have been found in Oracle Bone Inscriptions about 4000 years ago. This shows that the appearance of characters is the product of long-term summary and innovation of ancient ancestors, not made by one person.
