Chinese symbols, often referred to as Chinese characters, are logograms used in the writing of the Chinese language. Each character represents a word or a meaningful part of a word, and they can be combined to form phrases and sentences. There are thousands of these characters, with Hanzi being the most commonly used in Mandarin. These symbols have a rich history, dating back over 3,000 years. They are not only a means of communication but also an art form, as seen in calligraphy. The structure of each character can convey various meanings and emotions, making them an integral part of Chinese culture.
