Best Answer

Ancient Chinese would write using pictorial symbols (something like Egyptian hieroglyphics), like the word for shell would look like a shell, etc. Over the years, these symbols have morphed into the modern-day words, with the lines and strokes and everything, that is called Chinese today.
