【正确答案】Chinese is one of the oldest languages in the world. The Chinese characters, which were said to be created by the legendary Cang Jie, are an important part of the shared cultural root of the Chinese people. From oracle bone inscriptions to simplified Chinese characters, the language has evolved along with the Chinese nation. The Chinese language has shaped the mind and character of the Chinese nation. For instance, the strokes come in different shapes and they are well structured to form balanced characters. In a small way, this reflects the Chinese preference for modesty, accommodation and achieving win-win results through cooperation.
The Chinese language is a product of philosophical thinking. The way a character is structured carries deep meaning. For example, the character xin, meaning trust, is made up of two parts, which stand for "man" and "word" respectively. This shows that trust means a man should keep his word. This is the principle that guides the interpersonal relations of every individual Chinese, and the way through which China manages its relations with other countries. The beauty and simplicity of the Chinese language is widely recognized in the world. The characters can be traced back to the ancient pictograph, which were literally drawings of things. Today, the writing of Chinese characters, known as calligraphy, has become an art of drawing. In this way, the Chinese language is a unique language in our world.
