SORU:

When do scholars think Chinese writing originated?


CEVAP:

It is not known when Chinese writing originated, but it apparently began to develop in the early 2nd millennium BCE. The earliest known inscriptions, each of which contains between 10 and 60 characters incised on pieces of bone and tortoiseshell that were used for oracular divination, date from the Shang (or Yin) dynasty (18th–12th century BCE), but, by then it was already a highly-developed system, essentially like its present form.
