Writing takes a very important role in China's history because they made up their own form. They came up with the first 3,000 characters. The people that made the characters would have to make them then ask Cheng or whoever the current emperor would be and they would have to except them. The Shang Dynasty people would later become the first people to try the new writing system of China. Cheng wasn’t ever bored because he had the biggest job in all of China. He had to confirm the law, write different characters, and so much more. He was always busy. The hardest job had to be making characters. One, because he had to make them original and something that could not look anything like any other character. Two, because he had to always be creative, he had to make something that would be different but not to hard for everyone in the dynasty to learn. Lastly, he had to memorize every single character that he created. This was important today because the people in China still use the same characters as they did many years ago. From then they have also created many more. Many things have changed in China but not the writing.
