PICTOGRAPHIC NATURE OF CHINESE HIEROGLYPHIC WRITING IN SCHOOL EDUCATION // Научно-методический электронный журнал «Концепт». – 2026. – . – URL: http://e-koncept.ru/2026/0.htm
The article investigates the pictographic origin of Chinese hieroglyphic writing using six basic characters: 人 (person), 山 (mountain), 水 (water), 火 (fire), 木 (tree), 日 (sun). The problem of schoolchildren perceiving hieroglyphs as incomprehensible symbols is identified, despite their initial connection with drawings of real objects. The purpose of the work is to demonstrate the pictorial nature of hieroglyphs and develop visual aids to overcome this barrier. Historical, visual-comparative analysis, and a sociological survey of two respondent groups (40 schoolchildren and 40 adults each) were applied. The experiment results showed an average recognition level of ancient pictograms at 35% among schoolchildren and 30% among adults. A set of posters with step-by-step character evolution was created for school use.
