There's no exact proofs, but different Chinese characters imitates the things they describe.
For example:
人 (people) looks like a person with two legs
火 (fire) looks like flames
Also, most words are made of simpler words, such as:
尖 (sharp) is made up of two characters, 小 大, which means small and big. The small is on top, and the big is on the bottom, which shows that it goes from small to big, sharp.
轟 (crash) is made up of 3 of the same characters, 車 (car)
Over time, characters began to change, and now there's simplified and traditional, however, in ancient chinese characters, you can see the similarities more easily
