When I go online, I sometimes look at posts like "Test Your Eyesight" – give you a picture of the pre-liberation scene and ask you to point out what is unreasonable. Sharp-eyed people often stare at the horizontal rows of Chinese characters in the scene: not from left to right, from right to left.
In fact, as early as 90 years ago, the cradle of the republic, Ruijin, Jiangxi, horizontal rows of Chinese characters from left to right have been seen everywhere. A week ago, I witnessed this with my own eyes when I visited the "Red Well Scenic Area".
This is the logo of the temporary *** venue of the Chinese Soviet Republic at that time. The text is arranged from left to right from top to bottom, exactly as it is today.
In the various institutions under the jurisdiction of the Chinese Soviet Republic*** (here the Workers' and Peasants' Procuratorial Committee is taken as an example), almost all the internal c-positions of the institutions are hung with sets of red woodcuts of Marx and Lenin. Among them, "Marx, the Mentor of the World Revolution, and the Seal of the Secretariat of the First Congress of the Chinese Soviets" are arranged in three lines, all from left to right; "Seal of the Secretariat of the First National Congress of the Chinese Soviets" is arranged in three lines, with only the first line from right to left.
This is the physical document displayed in the relevant exhibition hall. Among them, the "Letter of Instruction of the People's Committee for the Saving Movement" has five lines from top to bottom, and the arrangement is basically the same as today.
On April 20, 1933, at the bottom of the sample newspaper "Red China", the organ of the Chinese Soviet, the thirteen lines of horizontal text in the frame "Another Call" are from left to right.
