Description

In ancient times under the reign of Yellow Emperor (about 2500 B.C.), people kept records by piling stones and tying knots. Someday, Cang Jie, a historical official who tied knots to keep records under Yellow Emperor, rapidly made a gigantic mistake. Feeling very guilty, he was once decided to find out a better way for keeping records. He went back to his hometown to think it over for many days and nights. Inspired by the footprints of animals, he began to carefully observe the sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers, lakes, seas, in addition to birds and animals. At the same time, he traveled around collecting signs created by fishermen, farmers, hunters and soldiers. In spite of everything, he succeeded in creating Chinese characters, which are still widely used today.

In this multicultural children’s story, kids will find out that there’s a story in the back of every Chinese character. Children will also learn about basic Chinese characters and how to lead them to.
