A Standard Of Writing

The different dialects of the Chinese language posed a problem for the Qin empire. Because the dialects changed from place to place it made it very different for the people to figure out one way of writing. At first pictures were used for to represent words and two pictures could represent two words. The problem was in different parts of China pictures would be used to mean the same things. Secondly, the way people pitched their voices would vary in regions. So there would be different voice pictures for the same words. To solve the problem a common core vocabulary was written for all provinces for the people to use. In conclusion, even though the verbal Chinese language was written for some, it less difficult for all Chinese.
