While researching on Chinese writings and artefacts for my previous quiz, I actually stumble upon some interesting Chinese ancient texts and pictogram that got me inspired for a quiz!! hehe
Most writings system actually evolved from “Drawings” or pictogram … A good example will be the Egyptian hieroglyphs. Well, the Chinese writing system did started out similarly as the Egyptian hieroglyphs, with “characters” that resembles the being or action … and then slowly, they simplify an cut down the number of strokes …
Now, let’s go guessing some of them!

not bad quiz 6/10 hahaha
Hehe, thanks for taking the quiz 🙂
Guess the Chinese pictogram Quiz!
You got 6 out of 10 right!
Well done, Branka!!
thanks for taking the quiz ?
You got 5 out of 10 right!
hehe, you passed!!
thanks for taking the quiz 🙂
I got 4 out of 10 as well, but super interesting, and fun.
Haha, 4 is pretty decent!!
Glad you had fun with the quiz 🙂
I can really see the characters they’ll evolve into, especially tien, ma and ren
the original fish character reminds me more of bei than yu
Hmm… actually I didn’t understand why they use (or draw) certain things they way they did … Their animals looks very alien to me :p
I can understand why you don’t think the fish looks like the modern word for fish … but graphically, it’s the one that resembles the most …
I think many Chinese characters look like space invaders. Proof of ancient contact?
I’m not saying it was aliens, but it was totally aliens…
This was a really fun quiz. I got only 4 right but it was fun trying to guess.
Hehe, glad you have fun with the quiz 🙂
That’s fun! But I got only 4 right answers
Well, it’s ok, just have fun with the quiz!! 🙂
5/10 right not too bad for me
I thought so too!
Thanks for trying the quiz 🙂
6/10, I knew it was going to be tricky. ?
The turtle is so cute, by the way. ?
Haha… you know at a time, I thought the animals looked different in ancient times :p
The way the sky and humans might have looked like in the past makes me more uncomfortable compared to what animals were like. ?
Lol… yeah, I wonder why the sky is written like that … did they have someone like that in their sky??? It would be eerie!!
the human… I’ve seen the “before” picture (the stage before this character) and then I can’t somehow be convinced. It’s actually a farmer picking crops and is a side view or a man…
Four out of 10 on this fun quiz.
Hehe, thanks for taking the quiz 🙂
You are very welcome alibb.
I missed four! But excellent quiz my friend.
Hehe, thank you, Carol!
You passed the quiz 😀
I got 5/10 too. Some seemed too obvious and I tricked myself, haha.
Haha … I guess it happens!
Thanks for taking the quiz! 🙂
I am surprised by the result for me 5 faithful answers.
Nice! Perhaps you’re good with analysing and deciphering pictograms?
Thanks, tasartcraft!
Glad you like it!
I do not have a clue about the chineses … I hit it anyway 4
Hey, you did much better than I!
Well, it doesn’t matter how you did, as long as you have fun!!
I entertained, and I hope that he also learned something
Hmm… yap, there are some characters that are linked to some modern characters but most of them are mainly graphical … 🙂
Anyway, nice try!
Excellent quiz! I got 7/10 correct 🙂
Thanks Norman! Glad you like the quiz!
Excellent score!!
