CONCEPT

In the “Preface to Shuowen Jiezi (Explaining Glyph and Analyzing Compound Characters) written by Xu Shen of the East Han Dynasty, Chinese characters were made from the observations of people in ancient times. Observing the phenomena of mountains, rivers, the sun and moon, and the vivid movements of fowls and animals, they were enlightened with the meanings of communication and transmission.

東漢.許慎《說文解字敘》:「倉頡之初作書,蓋依類象形,故謂之文。其後形聲相益,即謂之字。」古人造字來自對大自然深刻的觀察,從山河日月、飛禽走獸生動的神貌中,體悟溝通與傳達的意義。
