Chinese writing and its influence
The Chinese writing system has a very important cultural significance due to its wide distribution and high status. Different dialects, even diverse languages, used Chinese characters as a common writing system. In the Middle Ages in Korea and Vietnam, as well as on the territory of the Japanese Islands, Chinese pictograms were the only official writing system.
Due to the independence of reading and writing Chinese characters, other ethnic groups are relatively easy to use. For example, in Japan, the Korean state and Vietnam they did not speak Chinese, but exclusively used the Chinese method of writing hieroglyphs. This played a significant role and made it possible to unite a large number of dialect carriers into a single nation who had difficulty speaking with each other. Of course, it was comfortable dividing all the icons into simple wen 文 and complex zi 字.
