Chen Fu, a librarian of Liaoning Provincial Library (Liaoning Provincial Ancient Books Protection Center), took the six-book word-making method summarized by Xu Shen in the Han Dynasty in "Shuowen Jie Zi" as the starting point, and described the cultural connotation of Chinese characters from four aspects: the meaning of Chinese characters, the beauty of color, picture and space of Chinese characters, the beauty of double sound, overlapping rhyme, and the beauty of phonological rhyme in Chinese characters, and the homophonic culture of Chinese characters. In order to deepen the understanding of the Romanian audience, Chen Fu chose simple and easy-to-understand examples. For example, when talking about pictographs, he took the Chinese characters "day" and "month" as examples, and explained the origin of these two Chinese characters step by step with vivid ** and popular language. The audience nodded in understanding.
