Only two types of script have been preserved till today: phonographic and ideographic. Europe uses alphabetical letters in which there is only one rule – „One phone – one character.” Many alphabets were created but nobody can omit this rule.
What are the rules for ideographic writing?
The work by Chuangliang Al Hung approximates a little the intricacies of Chinese writing.
„There are two main types of characters – pictograms and ideograms. When you look at the pictogram you can perceive a sketch or a picture of what it represents. Ideograms which represent a particular idea must be created for more abstract concepts.”
Basing on the ideogram of the word „rubbish”, the author indicates what rules apply for the creation and reading of characters.
