According to ancient Chinese legends, this man served under the emperor Huang Di. Once Tsang Jie was able to develop a certain system of pictograms, which became the predecessors of modern Chinese characters.

According to historians, the first mention of Tsang Jie was discovered in manuscripts of the III century BC. They talked about numerous attempts to create a new language, and it was Tsang Jie who was able to carry out a long-standing undertaking.
