Code Cangjie
Code Cangjie is an interactive web experience that reimagines the creation of Chinese characters (Hanzi). Named after the famous Cangjie (仓颉), a legendary four-eyed figure in ancient mythology who invented Chinese characters by observing the patterns of nature, this project seeks to decode the logic of ancient typography for the digital age.
By highlighting the system of Associative Compounds (会意), the interactive laboratory reveals the internal "code" behind the strokes. It treats Hanzi not just as calligraphic art, but as a structured data system, demonstrating a unique blend of cultural heritage and modern web technology.
