B
In the time of the Yellow Emperor, there were no written words. People recorded things by tying knots( 打结) in ropes and carving shapes on stone walls.
One day, the Yellow Emperor was discussing an event with a wise man named Cang Jie. Cang took out a piece of knotted rope, but he found it was destroyed. It was impossible for him to remember the event clearly. Then he turned to a stone wall, but he could hardly read the shapes on it. They were carved by someone else.
“ The ropes were destroyed because of unknown reasons. The shapes could only be read by a few people,” the emperor asked Cang. “Do you have better ideas to record things?”
Cang thought over the problem day and night. On the morning after a heavy snow, the ground was completely white. He saw the footprints of some different animals by accident. These footprints helped him to recognize what animals had passed by just now. Cang suddenly had an idea. He picked a stick and drew on the snow-covered ground. At first, he drew a tiger and a bear to show that they had passed by. But soon, he found it took him too much time to do so. He realized that he had to make the drawings easier.
All the shapes on the stone walls came to his mind. Cang kept making all kinds of shapes on the ground. He focused on drawing. To take the sun for example, he used a circle with a dot in the centre. A half-circle and a line stood for the moon. And five lines that were not straight were used to show water. These symbols shone brightly in the snow.
In the end, Cang created a whole set of symbols to record things. People could easily understand them. Since then, they have been able to record their own history in this way.
