Talk:Cangjie

I don't understand why this page is protected. This page is incomprehensible. It also should link to "Cangjie method" for disambiguation. - Gniw 02:37, 6 Feb 2005 (UTC)

I agree... I've been hoping to make some improvements upon it but haven't been able to. What's the process for unprotecting a page? I couldn't really find any information about this in the protection policy. This page hasn't been touched since it was first created by Stevertigo and isn't listed in the protected pages. I'll put a message on Stevertigo's talk page to see what's up. -- Umofomia 00:32, Feb 23, 2005 (UTC)

Actually I found it... the Wikipedia:Requests for page protection page is also for unprotect requests. I'll add a request to unprotect this article. -- Umofomia 00:59, Feb 23, 2005 (UTC)

Unprotected. -==SV 01:31, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Thanks! Hopefully I'll get sometime this weekend to make some improvements. -- Umofomia 01:55, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)

"Cangjie's name sounds much like the Japanese pronounciation of Hanzi (Chinese Characters). The Japanese pronounciation is Kanji, pronounced the same way as his name."

No, this comment is completely wrong, and so it has been removed. Cangjie is pronounced with [ts] in Chinese, not [k]. The Japanese term Kanji/Kanzi derives from the Chinese term Hanzi (漢字). The Chinese pronunciation of "h" is [x] (like Russian "kh") which to Japanese ears sounds like a [k]. Kanji in Japanese used to pronounced Kanzi, but the "zi" (じ) sound has since merged with "ji" (di) (ぢ). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.252.243.149 (talk • contribs) 21:21, 7 March 2006 (UTC).

Seal Script links here, referring to the work entitled Canjie. There needs to be some disambiguation or something on that. 24.165.194.251 15:43, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

I've just added an English version of the complete legend of Cangjie's creation of Chinese characters, translated by myself. This was taken from the Chinese language version of this page. Citation included. Fubintien 01:36, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Why does the article spell his name "Cangjie" and not "Cang Jie"? Just because the input method is commonly spelled "Cangjie" doesn't mean we should abandon pinyin orthography rules for surnames and given names! Joewiz (talk) 13:40, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

Quipu

The article says in passing "i.e. Quipu", but I'd guess that the Andean rope-tying method cannot confidently be related to the Chinese "knot-tying", though any similarity would clearly be intriguing. A sourced explanation of what the Chinese "knot-tying" actually meant is needed. Wnt (talk) 05:28, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

The first link listed in the references section actually mentions Quipu and its similarity. It's in Chinese though (I don't know if there's an English source), but its referred to as 秘魯印加人結繩記事 (Peru Incan knot-tying record keeping) and is illustrated in figure 3-2. —Umofomia (talk) 05:52, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Four eyes and eight pupils?

Cangjie appears only to have four pupils in the article's picture, not eight as the caption states. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.183.179.159 (talk) 19:22, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
