Pictogram 象形字

 

Roughly 600 Chinese characters are pictograms (象形 xiàng xíng, "form imitation") — stylised drawings of the objects they represent. These are generally among the oldest characters. We have watched a Movie called 36 Characters in class. 36 pictograms have been introduced in this movie via an interesting story. Do you still remember these characters?

 

大约600个汉字是象形字。它们的样子和它们代表的事物相似。这些字都有很长的历史。我们上课的时候看了一部叫《36个字》的电影。36个象形字通过一个有趣的故事一一呈现。你还记得这些字吗？
