Paragraph Three
By the Shang Dynasty (around 1600-1046 BCE), these symbols had become a well-developed writing system. Over the years, the system developed into different forms, as it was a time when people were divided geographically ,leading to many varieties of dialects and characters. This, however, changed under Emperor Qinshihuang of the Qin Dynasty (221-207BCE).
到商朝(约公元前1600年一前1046年)时,这些符号已经演变成一套成熟的书写体系。在随后的年代里,这一体系发展成不同的形式,这是由于当时中国人居住地域的分隔,从而导致不同方言和汉字变体的产生。然而,这在秦朝(公元前221年一前207年)秦始皇统治时期发生了变化。
