Just to point out, Korea & Japan (ancient times) didn't have their own writing system, when Chinese (Han) characters were introduced, they adopted those characters. In 1440's in Korea, King Sejong and his scholars created the alphabet (2 theories of origin writing: based off from Ancient China Seals or Mongolian Seals). Japanese Kana was created by Buddhists Monks, estim.7th-9th century to simplify reading/writing Chinese characters to phonetic/alphabet.style.

I do love your story of the charater but your history is misleading. So Korean and Japanese know the Chinese Charater before China existed? From what I know Japanese people learnt Chinese from Tong dynasty (唐朝), and I think Korean learnt it later. Even beforn the Tong, there were different kingdoms bulit on this land, where we call "China" nowadays and of course Chinese Character would;ve been around back then and being used by Chinese people already, right?

in simplified Chinese we loose the heart and are just friends 愛 爱

actually that word is from the Han in China, not korea or japan. The real korean language is similar and related to Mongolia and Manchuria. Mongolia Korea Manchuria is similar one branches.

most of the japanese students do not care about components inclueded in one chinese character, when they learn it at their 10 years old. to memorize a story and the respective components per each is big big task. necessary to continue 2 or 3 times writhing homeworks per week, 8-12 times per month for april-july, september-december and january-march. it requires to change the mind from that its tough task with great patience to that its one of daily must-do things.

This is going to be a 'lovely' case for GLBT. Since the Hanzi stands for man and woman, how is the GLBT going to 'transliterate' it or to interpolate it to apply to their case? Man and man, female and female? And how are they going to vocalise it? Invent a new word and a new Hanzi? 3,000 years of written Hanzi history may be inadequate. Just expressing a thought, I'm not being political or cynical, well maybe just sarcastic. Thanks for your patience LaoShi.

If Chinese characters are created by Korean, why Korean government banned Chinese characters and invented a different silly set of Korean writting letters using today? its just ridiculus, stupid Korean.

@Puppyprints i know that.... it just irritates me when people are so bias

[Puppyprints]

oh one more thing, the character woman isn't a woman crossing her legs, its a woman kneeling down with her arms on her knee/lap in ancient etymology. Look up ancient etymology of han characters and how it evolved overtime.

Another thing to point out: 漢字

In Mandarin Chinese, it is read as Hanzi = Han Writing.

In Korean, its read as Hanja = Han Writing,

In Japanese, its read as Kanji = Han writing.

Regardless, what I mentioned here and below, all these three countries have created their own unique respected writing systems by no means one is not superior over others. They are unique & beautiful in their own respect.

I <3 Mandarin Chinese, Korean, and Japanese languages. (and Spanish too lol)
