Chinese characters as ideographic fonts have great and profoundcharacteristics, and some parts of the Chinese characters have thesignificant structural features such as symmetry. This paper focuses onthe symmetry characteristics of some parts of the Chinese characters tostudy and extends the scope of this paper to the disciplines of history,Chinese characters and other content to evidence and explain thesaid view. For some parts of the symmetry structure of Chinesecharacters, their formations exist these definitive and objective facts,that is, their external morphology have the visual beauty of harmony,symmetry. Of course, there are many historical reasons including theinfluences of both the original symbolic symbols such as eight diagramsand the ancient initial measurement methods in the process of itsformation. In addition, the official inculcate the common people withauthoritative culture forcibly through the way of serious and dignifiedreligious rituals or worships, this promotes the formation of somesymmetry of Chinese characters to a certain extent. From the standardpoint of view of the Chinese characters, Chinese characters contain arich and multi-symmetric Chinese character learning including bothworldview of that human is an integral part of nature and portraiture ofnations candid characteristics as well as the closed nature of thedoctrine. As the material symbol to reflect the characteristics of thetimes, the symmetry characteristics of Chinese characters were alsosuffered some damages in the process of heritage and evolutionincluding the factors of external tools and space, the writing skills, speedand so on. The heritage and evolution of the symmetry characteristicsof Chinese characters are also historical dialectical issues: it is necessaryto maintain some constant elements such as balance, pragmatic,robust and heavy sense of power and also to make an objective analysis for its frequent supersedure. This paper will show its study resultsfrom the following aspects: the symmetry characteristics of Chinesecharacters, the causes of its structure, and the damages on theChinese characters symmetry structure from the historic perspectives,the inheritance and evolution of the symmetry structure of Chinesecharacters.
