This book is a work that explains the formation and evolution of Chinese characters from the perspective of traditional Chinese culture. The author has integrated decades of research into one volume, closely linking the study of Chinese characters with the cultural roots of China. From a cultural origins perspective, it explores the fishing and hunting culture, agricultural culture, food culture, clothing culture, housing culture, boat and vehicle culture, folk culture, and life culture recorded in Chinese characters, aiming to "tell the Chinese story well through Chinese characters." The author has a broad vision, often employing a comparative approach between Chinese and foreign writing systems when exploring the evolutionary path of Chinese characters, aiming to achieve cultural communication through textual comparison and mutual learning between civilizations through cultural communication.
