Additionally, the Chinese character is not about creating objects to observe, but to place one into it, and to keep a sensation toward it. The ideographic writing may be determined by nouns and verbs, phrases and vowels, tense, singular or plural, and each is divided into different roles within one sentence.
However, the relationship between a Chinese expression is only determent by the position of words in the whole paragraph. It may be difficult for an English speaker to learn that Chinese does not have subject + predicate form and would sustain an object by refer to something. In ancient Chinese, there is no such thing as “is” or ‘are’, so to speak the China’s mind is not constructed by logistics or epistemology.
The Chinese characters originally came from Oracle bone script, by burning the turtle shell, people take auspice, thus the character has a rooted function of divination or heaven worship, that had determent that this language is deeply related to nature. Another important factor is that the character is usually organized by left, right, up, and down part, each part may carry a meaning itself, it is more efficient in message delivery comparing to ideographic writing.
Later stage characters are carved on bronze ware, bamboo, and eventually written on paper. With the invention of movable-type printing, rich materials could be preserved. I suggest that those images of character have a ‘side effect’ on brain, as I have mentioned in my dissertation, the right-brain storage memories or image, sound, touch, and smell, those memories were reserved with emotions they evoke (Ma, 2019). The Brodmann area 19 is a region in the visual cortex that registers images when they are delivered to the brain.
Along this line of consideration, the written characters are like riddles that connect a person to their ancestors, some may say it linked the power between the individual and nature. Despite that, such a written character does not leave much space for personal expression. Cheng (1996) had sustained this idea with an example of the word ?Scriptures.
It literally means the grain of the cloth. The text is like cloth, Chinese character are more about present the grain of universe but did not enhance a theory on the universe.
By doing so,this character is the weft of the universe as represented by written symbols, it never intended to separate personage from the world, but to connect both within.
