Chinese Reader Cang Jie Creates Chinese Characters - Chinese Graded Readers aimed at Beginner, Simplified Chinese, NEW HSK Standard #940821

A very long time ago, people in China used knots on ropes to remember things, but this became confusing. A smart man named Cangjie wanted a better way to record information. One day, while walking in the mountains, he noticed that every animal and object had its own unique shape. Inspired, he began drawing symbols based on nature. His drawings became the first Chinese characters, such as symbols for the sun, moon, mountain, and water. People quickly understood and used these characters to write and communicate. Over time, Chinese writing developed further, and Cangjie became honored as the “Saint of Creating Characters.” This book is for all Chinese beginners. I tried to include most of the vocabularies used in the story, along with their English meanings. Wherever possible, I tried to make use of simple grammar structures and avoid the more complicated grammar structures. If you are a beginner in the Chinese language, this is the book for you.
