27、

Jiaguwen, over 3,000 years old, is the earliest writing form of Chinese characters. Recently, it comes alive on the Chinese Internet and becomes popular as a new online language among the young people, thanks to a person who made them closer to people’s life.

Chen Nan, who creates Jiaguwen memes(表情包), is happy to know that Chinese netizens like his works. As a graduate of the Academy of Arts and Design of Tsinghua University, Chen has been studying Chinese characters’ design (设计) for 19 years. In 2016, the ancient typeface was included into the font library (字体库) under his efforts to let the ancient words walk into people’s life. Now the library has 3,500 characters, but Chen’s research on the project still continues, as he plans to increase characters to 7,000. In the future, he will put the ancient characters into education and the development of games and apps.

He has been working to make Jiaguwen into emojis (表情符号). For example, the character for “zui” which means “drunk” in English, was created to look like a stumbling(蹒跚的) figure. Such vivid figures have been well accepted by WeChat users. Chen has also combined (结合) the ancient Chinese characters with cartoon figures. A cartoon video about Jiaguwen he designed was watched 31 million times and shared 140,000 times.

“The ancient characters are not as cool and far away from us as most people think. In fact, they are cute and funny, and they can totally serve people's needs for online expression, "said Chen Nan.

“At present, most people think Jiaguwen is hard to understand and don’t realize the great historic value(历史价值) of it. Through using Jiaguwen memes, I truly hope that more people can develop an interest in the ancient characters and use them in their daily lives.” Chen said.

“I never imagined that I could use Jiaguwen to communicate with my friends. I thought I could only see them in my textbooks and only a few researchers could understand them. Also, these memes look so creative and cute.” said a Sina Weibo user.
