Names in Chinese
The navigator comes to this page with the curiosity to know as he writes to himself his name in a writing so different from ours as it is the Chinese, and meets so many types of writing. This is an only one sample of numerous ways of writing that they are used in China.
The first image is a paragraph in writing Dongba of a myth of the Naxi that live in Lijiang. It is a writing pictográfica, and if someone strains a little it can see a tiger, arrives at the right, a few stories birds in the top part of the vignettes, or two human figures in the lower part.
The second image corresponds to a sacred text of Yi de Liangshan. His writing is syllabic, but possibly also have an origin, at least partly, pictográfico.
The third text is a Chinese calligraphy, it corresponds to the work of a famous artist who lived more than 1.500 years ago in China. The Chinese is a language that in his origin was pictográfico, and some of them will be able to discover below to the left two together trees (it is the forest character).
The fourth text is of Tibetan writing. A writing that came to the Tibet with the Buddhism proceeding from the India, although it evolved of independent form.
The fifth text is a part of an inscription in a temple Buddhist of the Dai Le of Xishuangbanna (on the south border of China). The writing of the Dai Le (cousins of Thai of Thailand) also derives from the Sanskrit one and it came simultaneously that the Buddhism. But instead of having the churlish completions of Tibetan, proper of a mountain people, it has them more rounded, as it corresponds to the voluptuousness of the tropic.
