[quote=VIVEN,225916]Traditional Chinese characters can be traced back to several thousand years ago. Actually, the history of China is the history of traditional Chinese characters. (However, what we use now is simplified Chinese characters, the simplification of traditional Chinese characters play down the strengths of traditional Chinese characters.) Traditional Chinese characters embody Chinese tradition and culture. Take 默 (mo, the high falling to low tone) for example, the left means “black” and the right means “dog”. But how does a black dog means silence? We know that the dog barks often and it is difficult to make the dog not bark. It is not the real silence for a mute keep silent, while a talkative keep silent is the really silence. “Silence is gold”, maybe that’s what the ancient Chinese people want to tell us when they created this word.[/quote]
