Cang Jie saw the footprints of birds and animals in the snow and he got the idea he could use different shapes or pictures to represent objects. 3. What do we call the first real Chinese characters? We call them pictograghs, which mean line drawings of physical objects. 4. How did the character of ‘mountain’ develop over time? Can you give any other examples? The pictograph for a mountain was originally three peaks together. Then this became one peak and three lines and finally turned into the character we use today. There are some other examples such as ‘eye’, ‘sun’, and ‘moon’.
