The Writing of China By Nathaniel Maddalene and Ethan Scher

Introduction Do you know about the Chinese Writing system? About simplified Chinese? The Chinese oracle bone?Chinese symbols? Chinese language? Chinese alphabet andreading in Chinese? About how many Chinese symbols?Well if you don’t, too bad but it might not be too bad anymore because you have this slide show about Chinesewriting to see!

Oracle bone Oracle bone is a type of Chinese writing. An oracle bone is made of turtle shell or bone. The emperor wrote a question on the oracle bone and an oracle looked at the cracks for the answer. The oracle bone had characters on it. Oracle bone was also called “dragon bone”. An oracle is someone who determines your fate.

The Chinese Language The Chinese language is a member of the Sino – Tibetan family of languages.Chinese is a native language. Chineselanguage is one of four official languages ofSingapore, and one of the six languages inthe United nations. There are severalvariations of the Chinese language. Thelanguages are: Mandarin, Wu, Cantonese,Min, Jin, Xiang, Hakka, Ganshu, andPinguha Chinese. China has a lot oflanguages. About one – fifth of the worldspeaks some form of Chinese.

Chinese Alphabet The Chinese alphabet has 29 symbols. There are 3 more symbols in their alphabet than ours. Many of the symbols looked like today’s English letters. One symbol looked like “k”. Another symbol looked like “z”. In the Chinese dictionary, there are 60,000 symbols.

Chinese Writing System The Chinese writing system is what all Chinese writing is based on. The Chinese writing system goes back 4,000 years ago maybe even more. That’s before Christ (B.C.). The Chinese writing system is based on logographics (a character that represents one word). The Chinese writing system brought all the Chinese languages into one. The Chinese writing system is the oldest writing system in the world. The Chinese writing system has over 60,000 characters. The Chinese writing system was invented in 2,000 B.C. The Chinese didn’t actually have letters. They had characters.

Chinese Translation The people who translate Chinesehave to be fluent in Chinese and theother language. Chinese can betranslated in: Movies, Speeches, Videos,Video tapes, and just plain talking.Some places Chinese translators can befound are: The U.N., Offices, Factory’s,and Consulats. Different people andfactory’s have different needs for Chinesetranslators.

Simplified Chinese Simplified Chinese is really just Chinese characters but more simple. For example, instead of n being person, this is person. Here are some simplified Chinese characters: Mountain=, sun=, mouth=, soil=, and tree=. All simplified Chinese are logograms. The characters have names like sun or is ri, rain or is yu. You can sometimes find simplified Chinese characters on oracle bone.
