Of all character types, Zheng Qiao says, drawn objects (xiangxing) are the most basic. What can not be drawn as an object, is an affair (shi \u4e8b). An affair that can not be pointed at (zhishi) with a written character, is an idea (yi \u610f). Ideas that can not be brought together (huiyi \u4f1a\u610f &quot;assembled meanings&quot;) in one written character, have to be express by a sound (sheng \u58f0). Sounds have all certain rules of harmony (xie \u8c10). Only if these means of writing are not sufficient, it is necessary to borrow (jiajie \u5047\u501f &quot;wrongly borrowed&quot;) another character for a word. This is Zheng Qiao&#39;s explanation of the development six types of characters.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"chine-tie-zi-nei-rong-zhi-hou\" id=\"chine-2819345479\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1889418300638825\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1889418300638825\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"7273022922\" \ndata-ad-layout-key=\"-gw-3+1f-3d+2z\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Liushu l&uuml;e \u516d\u4e66\u7565 &quot;Abstract on the six types of Chinese characters&quot; is included in Zheng Qiao&#39;s \u90d1\u6a35 alternative history Tongzhi \u901a\u5fd7 from theSong period \u5b8b (960-1279).
