About History of Chinese Character Design Liv

Istwa Konsepsyon Karaktè Chinwa se yon liv ki eksplike istwa konsepsyon karaktè chinwa nan pèspektiv etid konsepsyon yo. Sèt karaktè chinwa ki nan tit la ekri nan sèt font ki montre yon relasyon evolisyonè. Ilistrasyon nwa e blan ouvri chak chapit, konbine senbòl ki soti nan tèks la ak egzanp konsepsyon chapit sa a. Anpil dyagram vizyalizasyon enfòmasyon sipòte kontni an. Yon liv ki gen kouvèti di nwa glise antre nan yon bwat di blan ak lò nan yon estrikti tiwa.

Design Challenge
The book took 8 years to compile, during which time, numerous documents were checked, charts were drawn, and words were elaborated.
Research
This book begins with the development of inheritance and innovation of Chinese character design, and through research and analysis, excavates the thinking and methods behind the artistic aesthetics and information transmission function of Chinese characters. The scope of research will be expanded to all kinds of character forms closely related to the history of the whole Chinese character culture circle, and Chinese characters are independent from pure fine arts or philology, forming a relatively independent research system under the dimension of "design science".

For thousands of years, Chinese characters have been widely spread in various ethnic regions and neighboring countries and regions, exerting a profound influence on cultural development.Through research and analysis, this book explores the thinking and methods behind the artistic aesthetics and information communication function of Chinese characters.
