　　汉字是从原始人用以记事的简单图画，经过不断演变发展最终成为一种兼具音、形、 意、 韵的独特文字。现存中国古代最早成熟的文字是甲骨文，被认为是现代汉字的初形。此后，汉字又经历了金文、隶书、楷书、草书、行书等不同的阶段。汉字结构“外圆内方”，源于 古人“天圆地方”的观念。汉字有五种基本笔画，即：横、竖、撇、捺、折。

　　Chinese Characters

　　Chinese characters were initially meant to besimple pictures used to help people remember things. After a long period of development,it finally became a unique system that embodies phonetic sound, image, idea,and rhyme at the same time. The writing system, which was extremely advanced inancient times, began with inscriptions on tortoiseshells, and these areregarded as the original forms of Chinese characters. Afterwards, Chinesecharacters went through numerous calligraphic styles: bronze inscriptions,official script, regular script, cursive script, running script, etc. Chinesecharacters are usually round outside and square inside, which is rooted inancient Chinese beliefs of an orbicular sky and a rectangular Earth. The fivebasic strokes of Chinese characters are “—” (the horizontal stroke), “︱”(the vertical stroke), “丿”(the left-falling stroke), “丶”(the right-falling stroke), and “乙”(the turning stroke).
