How Did The Writing Change?
by Rachel and Uttara
The writing systems in the Fuchu civilization evolved over time. In the beginning, the civilization used rock to record their ideas. They engraved their language onto these rocks later they started using paper and ink to record their thoughts. This was obviously was a much more sophisticated system. The writing systems that they created were very much like the Chinese writing systems. Writing was also used to record ideas and dates on pottery and other art work. They also wrote on their shrines and other sacred places. This illustrates that writing was used greatly in this civilization.
The way writing was used in the Fuchu civilization was quite similar to how the writing was used in the Indus River valley civilization. Writing was also used on pots in Indus at the same time. It is not known if paper and ink were ever used in the Indus civilization. This illustrates that maybe the Fuchu river valley civilization had a much more sophisticated writing system. The Indus river valley civilization's writing system was never deciphered, where as Fuchu's was. In the Indus valley writing was used to record sacred information, just as it was in Fuchu. These are the similarities and the differences between the writing systems in these two civilization.
