Justin Kirkpatrick Assignment 1

1) I am going to give a short presentation on the character 王 (wáng).

2) The website that I found is here (click here)

Here are three points that I found most interesting:

一) Hanzi originated approximately 4,000 years ago as ideographic pictograms.

二) Hanzi were imported into Japan in the fifth century.

三) Over 50,000 hanzi have been catalogued; modern Chinese writing uses approximately 6,000 hanzi for daily use.
