shang developed writing by using pictographs which is similar to mdern chinese writing
Chinese letters are called characters. the largest dictionary has 56,000 characterz.....amazing!!!

Depends on the language. Hebrew is written one way, Arabic another. Writing the language means writing it in its own characters.
The writing system used in ancient Mesopotamia is called cuneiform. The name means "wedge shaped." Records that were written in cuneiform were written on wet clay tablets, which were then allowed to dry.
The principle advantage is that being a symbolic system, it can be used for different languages and languages of different eras; a modern Chinese person can read ancient Chinese writing from thousands of years ago. Compare that with English; only an expert could read beowolf or Chaucer.
The biggest advantage to the Chinese system of writing may be that it is pretty much independent of the spoken language, because it is not related to sounds. This means that anyone can learn to read and write in Chinese, regardless of what language he speaks. There are hundreds of languages spoken in China, but nearly everyone learns the same written system, and so people who cannot speak the same languages can still communicate in writing.

The Chinese system of writing was difficult to learn because it used a complex system of symbols. The Kanji of the Asian languages are difficult to master because one must learn the strokes and their order to execute it properly.
The Shang developed a dynasty and a culture that included a system of writing. Shang developed their system of writing with pictographs. This system of writing used simple drawings, or characters for words and ideas.
Chinese writing was more complex and people could actually figure out the language,while people could
They all spoke in different languages but the system of writing was universal so everyone could read and write it.
The Japanese writing system, known as kanji, is based on Chinese characters. Kanji are adopted characters from Chinese writing, with each character representing a word or concept. In addition to kanji, the Japanese writing system also includes hiragana and katakana, which are syllabic scripts.
The difficulty of the Chinese writing system stems from its use of characters that represent words or concepts, rather than sounds. There are thousands of characters to learn, each with its own unique shape and meaning, making memorization challenging. Additionally, many characters have similar components, which can cause confusion for learners.
