汉字是记录汉语的文字,是汉族祖先在生产劳动和生活实践中创造出来的,它是世界上最古老的文字之一。虽然目前我们还很难断定它生产于何时,但从出土的3000年以前的商代甲骨文来看,它已是一种较为成熟、较为发达的文字,由此推断,它的生产必然远在商代以前的夏代,或更早一些。因为目前多数文字学家认为汉字起源于图画,从它的产生到现在大约已有四、五千年的历史了。所以根据目前为止地下出土的新石器时代陶器符号与青铜器族徽可以探求汉字的起源。 Chinese characters are the words that record Chinese. They are created by the ancestors of the Han nationality in the production and practice of life. They are one of the oldest characters in the world. Although it is hard to tell when it was produced, from the Shang Dynasty oracle dating back 3,000 years ago, it is a more mature and well-developed text, and it can be inferred that its production must be far behind Shang Dynasty before the Xia Dynasty, or earlier. Because most literary scholars believe that Chinese characters originated in the drawings, about four to five thousand years have passed since their birth. So according to the underground unearthed Neolithic pottery symbols and bronze emblem can explore the origin of Chinese characters.
