I’m just an enthusiast, so forgive me if I’m asking something too simple. Students of languages that utilizes Chinese characters often uses pictograms as a way to memorize them. For exemple, comparing the character of mountain (山) to the shape of a mountain, but how much these comparisons really reflect a historically accurate process of the creation of these ideograms based on the actual thing they represent? If anyone has any in depth articles about that, I appreciate if you could share!
