Định Nghĩa và Ý Nghĩa của "Hanzi script"

What is the "Hanzi script"?

The Hanzi script is a writing system used primarily for the Chinese language and its dialects. Each character typically represents a word or a meaningful unit rather than a sound or letter, making it logographic. For example, the character "水" means "water" and is pronounced as "shuǐ" in Mandarin. Hanzi characters can vary in complexity, with some having simple designs while others may have intricate structures. This writing system is significant in East Asian cultures, influencing languages such as Japanese, which incorporate Chinese characters into their own writing systems. The Hanzi script plays a crucial role in Chinese literature, communication, and cultural heritage.
