Description

This is my interpretation of the origin of the Chinese word for Chicken 雞. From the pictorial seal script, I turned it back into a design of a chicken.

Chinese writing dates back to over 5000 years ago. Chinese characters evolved from pictographs to more abstract ideograms to the modern-day character, which bears a slight resemblance to its pictographic origins. The characters are divided into 3 main categories : pictographs , ideograms , phonograms.

You can see the progression of the Chinese word 雞 for chicken with my other piece of art:

"Chicken/rooster" is a pictograph. It has evolved from the pictorial oracle bone script, to the pictorial seal script, to the modern day character. http://www.oystudio.com/evolutionwebsmall.jpg
