Every language has its own history and culture, even that was lost or is going to be lost.
Chinese character is very interesting, e.g, 水(water) it's hieroglyphic, this chararcter looks like water waves.
And some characters are semasiography, e.g, 好(good), it is formed by 女(daughter) and 子(son), Chinese people believe that a family gets both a daughter and a son is a good thing.
