Extended data:
Chinese characters became systematic characters in 1600 BC. In the early days of Shang Chao, China's civilization had developed into a fairly high-level civilization, and its most important feature was the appearance of Oracle Bone Inscriptions.
Oracle Bone Inscriptions is a very mature and systematic script, which laid a solid foundation for later Chinese characters. After that, Chinese characters experienced the bronze inscription, the so-called bronze inscription, and later appeared in the form of seal script and regular script, which has been used to this day.
The evolution of Chinese characters in China is actually a process in which Chinese characters are gradually standardized and stabilized in terms of glyphs and fonts. Seal script makes the number of strokes of each Chinese character fixed, and the subordinate is to establish a new stroke system, and the shape of the font gradually becomes flat square. After the birth of regular script, the shape of Chinese characters stabilized.
