Question

In a myth tradition, this technology was invented when a phoenix dropped an impression of a hoof-print onto the ground, inspiring a four-eyed (10[1])man named Cangjie (“chang-ji’eh”). In China, different forms of this technology bear names such as “seal”, “grass”, “bronze” and “oracle bone.” In a book co-written with the Hall of Worthies, Joseon King Sejong the Great introduced one (10[1])form of (10[1])this technology known as Hangul (10[2])(“hahn-gool”). In (10[1])the (10[1])1950s, the mainland (10[2])Chinese government introduced a “simplified” form of this technology, replacing “traditional” forms used elsewhere. For 10 points, hiragana, katakana, (10[1])and kanji are Japanese forms of what systems used to record texts? ■END■
