The Composition of the Chinese Characters
The composition of the main characters are in three ways:
汉 字 的 构 成 主 要 有 三 种 方 法：
1.Pictographic method
This is the earliest form of Chinese characters method to create the most original characters, Example: "日" 、"月" 、" 水 "、" 牛"and so on take the shape of each term. These Pictographic characters changed the original character of the physical into a subsequent Founder fonts after gradual evolution, and some reduction in the number of strokes and some strokes added by the rules have become irregular fonts.
1.象形法
这是形成汉字的最早方法,因此创造了最原始的文字,例："日","月","水","牛"等等。这些象形字经过逐渐的演变,倒后来都改变了原字的形状,变成了后来方正的字体,有的笔画减少了,有的笔画增添了,由不规则变成了有规则的字体。
2.Associative law
It's easier to see the creation of truth through Pictographic characters, but they should not express an abstract meaning. The ancients would have created another law —— Ideographic law. They used different symbols or borrowing Pictographic characters to add some symbols to express an abstract meaning. Example: the character "明" is made up of "日" and "月", meaning bringing bright. "旦" is made up of "曰" and"一" meaning the sun is rising from the horizon.
3.会意法
象形字比较容易看出造字的道理,但他们不能表达抽象的依稀。古人便创造了另一种造字法—会意法。就是用不同的符号或借用"象形字"加上一些符号来表达一个抽象的意思。例："明"意思为"日"和"月"带来光明。"旦"字意思为太阳出地平线而升起。
4.Pictophonetic Law
Ideographic characters and Pictographic characters can be seen from the shape on the meaning of the words, but they are not allowed to deliver voice. And therefore people created a sound law-shaped characters. To express the sound of voices and express the meaning of the side next to match the shape, a lot of new words came into being. Example: the character "爸" is made up of phonetic character "巴" and meaning character "父"；"芭 " is a combination of the word "巴" and "++" with a form and so on so forth. According to statistics, Pictophonetic Characters account for about 90% of Chinese characters. The formation and development of Chinese characters, become an important tool for the exchange of ideas, adapted to the needs of human social life.
3.形声法
象形字和会意字都能从字形上看出字的意义,但却不能读出声音。因此又创造了形声法来造字。把表示声音的声旁和表示意义的形旁搭配起来,组成很多新字。例："爸" 字是表音的"巴"字和表形的"父"字的结合；"芭"字是由"巴"和"++" 搭配而成。这样文字越早越多,据统计,形声字占汉字的90％左右。汉字的形成和发展,成为人类交流思想的重要工具,适应了人类社会生活的需要。
