Hello, this is Bamboo Cipher. Welcome to Chinese character arc, exploring the evolution of Chinese characters from oracle bone etchings to digital text (both traditional and simplified).
I make these videos as a fun research project and to supplement my learning Chinese as a second language. No promises regarding the accuracy of my facts.
