Journal of Asian Restudy 2021 Fall

Asian culture has played a very important role in the human history, and had made great contribution to the evolution of the human civilization. However, there are many people who still have much misunderstanding about Asian culture, or simply don’t take it as important as it should be, since the power of advanced technology has convinced many people of the leading position of the science-based western culture. The Asian culture had its glorious periods thousands years and centuries ago, but had been in its downturn for quite a while now. Isn’t it the time to re-study it, and let its beauty shine again to the world?

functioned as logos to represent some ideas, which would make it as

somewhat like the hieroglyphic language? Most of the linguistic

literature seems having tried to stay away from this topic. When an

infant utters a sound, it expresses its emotions, or desire for

something, or protest against some action, may accompanied with

facial expressions and body moves, such as pointing or looking at

something. Nevertheless, we could barely hear enough vivid or

distinct sounds from a baby to express complex meanings before

they started to learn the already established language. It could be

reasonably concluded that it is not likely for a pure sound system to

be developed as an original and sophisticated language that could

fully satisfy the communication for what human need in their more

and more complex civilized life style. Instead, the phonetic symbol

system should be developed on a pictographic or logographic symbol

system, and the latter two are the ones contains the meanings to

facilitate the communication and in return propel the neurotic

development of human brain and coordination of the tongue muscle

for creating a system of complex sounds, and to finally make the

proper connection between the sounds and the symbols, because

normally it should be people who use the pictorial symbols to indicate

things to their partners while they struggled to voice out to help the

expression. Just like a person who has suddenly got lost in a

primitive people’s world, would draw pictures or mimic the voice of

animals or make some gestures in order to cross his ideas through to

the other side. The same thing was to the ancient people before they

develop a sophisticate language. They could find the images of

things everywhere in the living environment and drew the pictures,

but they couldn’t imitate all the sounds of birds or the animals’

language, if they had learned a few of them, to express their own

ideas, because of the difficulty to interpret them all, also because of
