“These inscriptions, used for divination, represent the earliest form of systematic Chinese writing. Over time, the script transitioned from pictographic to logographic, with characters representing words and concepts” <


In general we humans’ Concepts are in the form of words when we communicate. I think they are in the form of words in our brain’s ; maybe some pictures in our brains. I don’t have many picture memory thoughts myself . Of course I have picture perceptions in my brain. And sound , touch , smell , taste perceptions . But concepts are in the form of words in my memory. <


I’m thinking the first pictographs represented words and concepts, too. If you follow me. <



What is the difference between words and concepts. ? . Both are symbolic communication units .<


A logograph is a character that is a stylized (abbreviated) version of the picture ( drawing ; copy of something seen in objective reality) of a pictographic character ancestral to the logographic character. ?
