The development of Chinese characters can be traced back to the Neoliths about 5000 years ago. The first stage was the pictographic stage. In this period, the Chinese characters mainly used paintings or symbols to represent the shape of things such as "sun","moon","fish" and so on. The second stage was the signifying stage. During this period, Chinese characters began to use symbols to represent the characteristics and actions of things, such as "mouth","hand","foot", etc. The third stage was the pictophonetic stage. During this period, Chinese characters began to combine phonology to express the characteristics of things, while using symbols to express tones such as "rain","thunder","mountain" and so on. The fourth stage was the understanding stage. During this period, Chinese characters began to combine left and right structures and words to express more meanings such as "benevolence","righteousness","loyalty" and so on. The development of Chinese characters was a long and ever-evolving process. Each stage had its own unique characteristics and expressions, which laid the foundation for the development of Chinese characters later.
