摘　　要：新石器时代陶器上的刻划符号屡有发现,刻划符号不是真正意义上的文字,但表明人类思维活动的进步,不排除晚期刻符、图象符号中有些形体、内涵与后来的汉字相同,已经属于早期具有文字性质的符号。文字是由少数"圣人"创造的,在这个意义上,同意仓颉造字说;文字的出现是人类进入阶级社会以后为适应社会发展需要而创造的,汉字可能就创制于商代或更早些;文字起源是多元的,先秦时期除汉字外,还可能存在自成体系的文字,只是后来被淘汰而渐趋消亡。The primitive carved symbols on the Neolithic pottery are not believed as real Chinese characters in this essay though they reflect the progress of human mind and even later carved and graphic symbols had some similar features of Chinese characters——similar forms and meanings.The origin of characters is uncertain.It is said that characters were created by some 'saints'.In such sense,the belief that Cang Jie created characters is convincing.Addtionally,it is predicted that Chinese characters were created in Shang Dynasty or earlier,for serving class society.The origin of characters is diversified.Apart from Chinese characters,other characters systematically existed in pre-Qin days and then they were eliminated and died out.
