One of the arguments to demonstrate that their Chinese writing system is not so complicated is to say that the characters are figurative, ie they represent the object.
example 口
You had all understood that this character means mouth, is not it? Well, when we know, we said yes, okay, it's a mouth, not a square, a hole, a pool, a button or another.
Another example 鱼
You do not see? Perhaps with the traditional character that will be simpler: 鱼 But if, think again! Tilt your head sideways ... Still no? But still! It is a fish of course!
I feel that my proof you were not convinced. This is probably because I'm not convinced myself!
But there is still a symbol easy 人
It lacks the head, but it is a person. By changing the character a bit, we can change the meaning. For example, a man with arms 大 , that means big.
A man who takes a shower 火 mean fire. It's normal, it must be of water to extinguish the fire!
A large man in a bar 天 is heaven.
And my favorite, two large man with a penis each 太太 mean ma'am!
