Art/Literary - Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting / chinese writing | | English term or phrase: characters | | Aesthetic considerations seem to have interested the Chinese from the early beginnings of their writing. Simple nouns were developed first, and the written language slowly matured and became enriched as characters were invented to express feelings, actions, colors, sizes, and types.Chinese characters are logograms, graphic signs that represent an entire word. |
