As someone who was born in a place that has nothing to do with China, we don't speak Chinese and we don't learn it, but I do because it's just a fun passtime, I third this comment.
Fun fact: '民' means people. This letter means 'A person that an eye is stabbed'. In ancient china, peoples used to make slaves half-blind so they cannot run away or rebel to their master. Nowdays, this letter is used in words like '民主主義'(Democarcy) and '中華人民公和國'(People's Republic of China). And this explanation has no exaggeration or cration at all.
@Qiyunwu oh well it was another thing sorryyy :) the one I’m thinking is another analog horror (that’s very damn good) that features a character called oracle.
I am an Asian-American with Indonesian and Chinese descent and I am impressed with the way this built up and everything! Let's break it down why this is so good: The video begins in a manner similar to various videos of this nature; if you look up "oracle bone script chinese character guessing game" on UA-cam, you'll find a fair share of similar normal UA-cam Kids videos. 0:37 is where it showcases how various radicals combine together based on the combination of their respective concepts, which foreshadows a piece of horror present in the background of this video. The animation shows a house (广) with a man (人, converted to its auxiliary form 亻), followed by the presence of a bird (隹, 0:32), combining into the figure represented by 䧹 (which, strangely, also means "eagle" or "bird of prey" in reality). In the context of the video, the bird 隹 flies away and escapes, causing the other bird (烏, 0:28) to retrieve it, ultimately building up the complex character 鷹 (Eagle, 0:55, lit. "trained bird for hunts other birds"). The video reverts to normal with characters like 日, 旦, 晶, and 木, 本, 末, which cover the addition of elements and reduplication of radicals. Interestingly, the adding line is red, which can be chalked up to color for emphasis of the difference (though it becomes evident that this gains a darker connotation later on). The concept of reduplication is revisited in the forms of 林 and 森 which both refer to forests, but by 1:15 the video glitches out with the line of 森森森森森森森森森森森森森森森森森森森森森森森 filling the screen. There appears to be an implication of the forest being a major location of interest. The video cuts to the 人 character before a line is drawn through it to yield 大, which means "big". Real-life etymology states that this is because of the glyph representing a man stretching his arms out like a fisherman exaggerating their catch. At 1:26 the video gets this COMPLETELY wrong, to horrific effect. "Big: Human execution" in light of this, the character now looks more like a human being having been executed, emphasized by the red line bisecting the glyph. It almost looks as if, rather than being a simple modifier that was simply colored for emphasis like in earlier instances, the red line now indicates precisely how the figure depicted was killed. This has precedence in Japanese culture, where swordmakers famously tested their wares on condemned criminals. Let's circle back to Japan, this will come up later despite the video ostensibly about CHINESE characters. The video returns to normal with glyphs representing humans or human parts like "child", "woman", and "hand", until it reaches "mouth", 口 at 1:40. Unlike in the previous entries, the modern character shows FIRST, with the ancient version being completely blank. Then suddenly a hyper-realistic mouth shows up on screen before everything cuts off. (in real life, the ancient symbol looked something more like Ʉ) When it returns, we begin with a second step-by-step combination, but with a much darker topic. We start with "A human", followed by "A bounded human", then "A bounded human cries" and "A bounded human cries in fire". This is reminiscent of the "faux-tymology" of the 大 character, except forming the character 𦰩. Here's the thing: This example is ABSOLUTELY *TRUE*. The character 𦰩 is a variant of the character 堇, and in ancient forms of this symbol, it really *did* mean a human being burned alive as a sacrifice. See the below references talking about this speculation: Li, Xueqin (李學勤) (2012) 《字源》, Tianjin: 天津古籍出版社 blog.goo.ne.jp/ishiseiji/e/99ef4faa9aeb4a5afcf80c3340ae123c The spectacle ends with the combination of 𦰩 and 隹 to signify "a bounded human cries in fire attacked by bird". Ultimately, we see the actual glyph we are building up to: 難. "Disaster" (real-life translation is closer to "hard" or "difficult"). Normalcy resumes with the next glyphs, which represent animals (虫 for "snake/worm", 魚 for "fish", 龜 for "turtle", 龍 for "dragon") which is followed by an unusual choice of glyph, 鬼 which is used to represent "ghost" (EDIT: Some commenters have pointed out that this is a clever bit of five-second foreshadowing concerning the subsequent segments of this video). Then we get to this: 彁 The shot lingers on a construction comprised of two mouths, one on top of another like a fraction and surrounded by what appears to be brackets. The mouths are the same hyper-realistic one we saw earlier. Then the caption appears: "please stay away from this creature" We are immediately bombarded with a rapid-fire selection of truly horrific pictographs, all but one of which translate to the same warning: "please stay away from this creature". These glyphs are: 妛 槞 挧 駲 彘 袮 蟐 窫寙 墸 暃 壥 閠 The lone glyph that has a different caption is 椦, which appears to show a giant hand reaching down towards a kneeling human in front of a tree with walls at each side. The caption reads "you have no way to run". The thing about all of the glyphs with the creature warnings: except for 窫寙, NONE of the kanji have any coherent meaning in Japanese. They are part of a set of 12 characters called "ghost characters" (a term sneakily foreshadowed by the use of 鬼 immediately preceding it), which are kanji characters of no known provenance recorded in the 1997 JIS X 0208, originally established as the JIS C 6226 in 1978, with revisions in 1983, 1990, and 1997. The purpose of this Japanese Industrial Standard was to catalog all known kanji in common use in Japan, leading to a set of 6,355 kanji characters, and codify them into 2-byte format as a precursor to the current UTF-8 Unicode standard. These characters have been found from numerous sources both Chinese and Japanese, dating all the way back to the 6th century AD. A notable inclusion is the 窫寙, which is a misspelling of 窫窳. This is a creature from Chinese mythology referred to as the Yàyǔ, a monster mentioned in the Han Dynasty Classic of Mountains and Seas, and the Huainanzi (Writings of the Huainan Masters) which dates to sometime in the second century BC. The Yàyǔ is described to be a compound creature with serpent, draconic, and human features that resides in the Ejin River of northern China and feeds on humans. Notable features that this video touches upon include the fact that it emits a noise like a child crying (remember this for later), and that it was once a benevolent dragon but not only died but was later reanimated as a revenant. The implication of this inclusion is evident: the 12 known ghost kanji are representations of entities that all prey upon humans. Entities that you MUST NOT encounter under any circumstances. And if the 椦 glyph is any indication, you are already too late. Something else worth mentioning is that two pictograms (彘 and 窫寙) bear red lines, similar to how 大 was depicted with a red crossbar. Is it possible that the ancients sacrificed the condemned to these entities in an effort to appease them? Chillingly, the final glyph returns to the simple 人, but this time with no translation except for the caption: "please stay away from this creature". This speaks volumes, and could be interpreted in many ways, but with the inclusion of this character among the inhuman creatures, one interpretation stands out: cannibalism. With that, the video ends with a group of pictographs: water, a burning man, and a child under a roof: "A Trapped child that watching it's family cries in fire beside a river" (Remember how the Yàyǔ made a sound that mimicked a crying child?). And the ultimate evolution of this image? The very title of this video: 漢字, or "Chinese Characters". Even that has some interesting aspects of its derivation; dividing into the two characters 漢 and 字, we see much of what we have previously discussed, but with the same horrifying spin that we've been previously exploring throughout the video. The glyph 漢 is a combination of 水 (in the modifying form of 氵) and 𦰩, which we have previously discussed. In THIS character, however, the modified glyph is in fact an abbreviation of 暵, which is used in this case as a proper name, in this case, the Hanshui River, a tributary of the Yangtze. This is a phono-semantic compound which is used in this context to refer to the Han Chinese (with the semantic component being 水 and the phonetic component being 暵), for it is this ideogram that was ultimately used as a name for the people. 字 on the other hand DOES in fact mean "letter", "symbol", or "character", which in this case refers to the Chinese characters. It is indeed comprised of the glyphs for a house (宀), and a child (子), where the latter is used once again as the phonetic component for the overall character. In the context of this particular fanciful interpretation of Chinese history and the development of Chinese writing, the hidden implications make themselves evident.
Amazing. Personally, having no knowledge of the language, the way the footage unravels into vaguely threatening depictions reminded me a lot of those long-term nuclear waste warning messages. It's fascinating how stuff like this is capable of instilling fear, like it's just coded in us.

期待爆紅！火鉗劉銘！ 影片能看到幾個細節： 1.請遠離生物的最後一個是「人」（這段往規則怪談的方向延伸好像也有料欸） 2.幽靈字「椦」下方英文：“You have no way to run” 象形文字的表現法襯托出了後面幽靈字既熟悉又陌生的怪異感，但是字體本身沒有情緒，卻能讓人感到毛骨悚然，真是令人起雞皮疙瘩🤯
Note that there is a character "鬼" ("ghost") shown before that madness enrolls, conveying that those words after the word "鬼" were ghost characters, meaning they dont have any meaning. (yet)
English speaker here! i really loved watching this as it reminded me of another analog horror video the way i interpret this video, it ties more into ancient language describing "something" and this "something" is what they saw and made them scared, so scared that it had to be written in chinese characters and it has probably lost it's meaning, the chinese ancestors saw something and it had to be passed down for generations
Kind of like the biohazard or radioactive symbol right? Like how in a millennium the same symbols for danger would be lost or changed meaning. I agree it’s a fresh take on analog horror that’s been so oversaturated lately
I also want to add that the Kanji shown in 2:36 and later are a classification of Kanji called _Yūrei Moji_ or Ghost Kanji. These Kanji don't exist and were accidentally created when the JIS kanji sets was being compiled. I think that this fact really makes the video more beautiful as it adds on to the narrative of your interpretation, by implying that the Kanji's weren't a mistake and really did hold meaning, but was lost in time because whatever it was describing either fell into obscurity, was hiding from society, or was being hid from society (spook factor!). P.S. I just realized that a Chinese(?) comment has already pointed this out but, oh well!
By the way, not to break the horror, but the characters from the last parts are all either rarely used, are kanji-only (meaning they only exist in japanese), or have been simplified to, well, simplified chinese. Though it is interesting to try to see this from someone who doesn't know chinese and reads them purely from a pictography standpoint.
From what I was given, I think the cursed characters are: A ghost(?) with two mouths A female demon who lives in a mountain A dragon who lives in a forest A mass of sentient hands? A giant fish with...something Two humans killing (sacrificing?) a human at sunrise A monster with giant hands who feast on humans, who lives at a forest near rivers Two houses (maybe temples) each guarded by a human looking guard A giant heavenly snake A massive sacrifice in a forest to appease a dragon A cursed word that can end someone's life A multi-armed solar deity (or demon) Child sacrifice at a temple A massive catastrophe caussed by the sun? Something that looks like a human but it's not Of course these are just my interpretations. I don't speak Chinese nor can I understand each character
I love how the oracle bone script, while rarely known, has extremely recognisable scriptures and meanings yet to be discovered, like the character 弓+哥 , which has a meaning yet to be discovered. I also love how the concept of some words develop in this analog horror. I really love how it depicts the writing in this series. 这是真棒啊! 你也很厉害呀！❤
I like the constantly shifting uneasiness of the atmosphere. Also the foreshadowing that humans were prey in your narrative. And the mouth do serve as a minor jumpscare because of how sudden it is.
This is one of the best analog horrors I've ever seen. The use of Chinese characters to describe ancient lovercraftian horrors is very clever. From what I was given, I think the cursed characters are: A ghost(?) with two mouths A female demon who lives in a mountain A dragon who lives in a forest A mass of sentient hands? A giant fish with...something Two humans killing (sacrificing?) a human at sunrise A monster with giant hands who feast on humans, who lives at a forest near rivers Two houses (maybe temples) each guarded by a human looking guard A giant heavenly snake A massive sacrifice in a forest to appease a dragon A cursed word that can end someone's life A multi-armed solar deity (or demon) Child sacrifice at a temple A massive catastrophe caussed by the sun? Something that looks like a human but it's not Of course these are just my interpretations. I don't speak Chinese nor can I understand each character
How did you get 'caused by the sun' from the second to last one, since it doesn't have the oracle bone script 'sun' radical? Cool interpretations otherwise though.
Damn this Analog horror about Chinese Characters looks sick! This video shows you how to learn Chinese Characters but as this video goes on, the characters look terrifying and how terrifying the story behind these characters. shiver me timbers
most aren't accurate lel. 大 is just a human stretching their arms out as far as possible. 難 just means difficult, the bird on the left is for phonetic reasons and the part on the right doesn't really mean any particular thing.
As someone who has no knowledge of Chinese characters, this was *really* good. I found myself guessing what each character was and speculating what could be formed next. Really fun!
i felt like many people missed the fact that the penultimate part of the video uses phantom Kanji which bears no meaning on it's own i also appreciate the fact that this kinda gave it some story
before the word 弓哥 there was the word 鬼 (ghost), and 弓哥 is infact a 鬼字/幽灵字 (ghost word), 幽灵字 means that the Chinese character has no meaning, like a few hundred years ago it could’ve had a meaning, but it got lost to time. And all the words after 弓哥 are all ghosts words, which I think is very fascinating :D edit: the only word I think isn’t a ghost word is 人 (human), 罪 (crime) and 閠, which I am not sure the meaning of
I love stuff that screws with language like this. Using non-existent Chinese characters to represent monsters is probably the most creative horror concept I’ve ever seen.
Dang, this analog horror is interesting. Yet it technically also resembles a music video. And I like the suspense of some parts where they add lines, or some parts where some of the characters go wrong Thank you for making this

其实现实也挺恐怖的，很多字在商朝都是一种献祭行为的象形，比如“卯”是把人劈两半，“刿”是把人砍得四分五裂的象形
数字和天干有很多是假借的，有的到现在也不知道构型本意是什么
"宜羌十" (把十名羌人剁了獻祭) 的宜字本意就是把(人)肉放砧板上

@UnitedEuropeanFourthReich as in, the algorithm doesnt boost them
I am an Asian-American with Indonesian and Chinese descent and I am impressed with the way this built up and everything! Let's break it down why this is so good:
The video begins in a manner similar to various videos of this nature; if you look up "oracle bone script chinese character guessing game" on UA-cam, you'll find a fair share of similar normal UA-cam Kids videos.
0:37 is where it showcases how various radicals combine together based on the combination of their respective concepts, which foreshadows a piece of horror present in the background of this video. The animation shows a house (广) with a man (人, converted to its auxiliary form 亻), followed by the presence of a bird (隹, 0:32), combining into the figure represented by 䧹 (which, strangely, also means "eagle" or "bird of prey" in reality). In the context of the video, the bird 隹 flies away and escapes, causing the other bird (烏, 0:28) to retrieve it, ultimately building up the complex character 鷹 (Eagle, 0:55, lit. "trained bird for hunts other birds").
The video reverts to normal with characters like 日, 旦, 晶, and 木, 本, 末, which cover the addition of elements and reduplication of radicals. Interestingly, the adding line is red, which can be chalked up to color for emphasis of the difference (though it becomes evident that this gains a darker connotation later on). The concept of reduplication is revisited in the forms of 林 and 森 which both refer to forests, but by 1:15 the video glitches out with the line of 森森森森森森森森森森森森森森森森森森森森森森森 filling the screen. There appears to be an implication of the forest being a major location of interest.
The video cuts to the 人 character before a line is drawn through it to yield 大, which means "big". Real-life etymology states that this is because of the glyph representing a man stretching his arms out like a fisherman exaggerating their catch.
At 1:26 the video gets this COMPLETELY wrong, to horrific effect.
"Big: Human execution"
in light of this, the character now looks more like a human being having been executed, emphasized by the red line bisecting the glyph. It almost looks as if, rather than being a simple modifier that was simply colored for emphasis like in earlier instances, the red line now indicates precisely how the figure depicted was killed. This has precedence in Japanese culture, where swordmakers famously tested their wares on condemned criminals. Let's circle back to Japan, this will come up later despite the video ostensibly about CHINESE characters.
The video returns to normal with glyphs representing humans or human parts like "child", "woman", and "hand", until it reaches "mouth", 口 at 1:40. Unlike in the previous entries, the modern character shows FIRST, with the ancient version being completely blank. Then suddenly a hyper-realistic mouth shows up on screen before everything cuts off. (in real life, the ancient symbol looked something more like Ʉ)
When it returns, we begin with a second step-by-step combination, but with a much darker topic. We start with "A human", followed by "A bounded human", then "A bounded human cries" and "A bounded human cries in fire". This is reminiscent of the "faux-tymology" of the 大 character, except forming the character 𦰩.
Here's the thing: This example is ABSOLUTELY *TRUE*.
The character 𦰩 is a variant of the character 堇, and in ancient forms of this symbol, it really *did* mean a human being burned alive as a sacrifice. See the below references talking about this speculation:
Li, Xueqin (李學勤) (2012) 《字源》, Tianjin: 天津古籍出版社
blog.goo.ne.jp/ishiseiji/e/99ef4faa9aeb4a5afcf80c3340ae123c
The spectacle ends with the combination of 𦰩 and 隹 to signify "a bounded human cries in fire attacked by bird". Ultimately, we see the actual glyph we are building up to: 難. "Disaster" (real-life translation is closer to "hard" or "difficult").
Normalcy resumes with the next glyphs, which represent animals (虫 for "snake/worm", 魚 for "fish", 龜 for "turtle", 龍 for "dragon") which is followed by an unusual choice of glyph, 鬼 which is used to represent "ghost" (EDIT: Some commenters have pointed out that this is a clever bit of five-second foreshadowing concerning the subsequent segments of this video).
Then we get to this: 彁
The shot lingers on a construction comprised of two mouths, one on top of another like a fraction and surrounded by what appears to be brackets. The mouths are the same hyper-realistic one we saw earlier. Then the caption appears:
"please stay away from this creature"
We are immediately bombarded with a rapid-fire selection of truly horrific pictographs, all but one of which translate to the same warning: "please stay away from this creature". These glyphs are: 妛 槞 挧 駲 彘 袮 蟐 窫寙 墸 暃 壥 閠
The lone glyph that has a different caption is 椦, which appears to show a giant hand reaching down towards a kneeling human in front of a tree with walls at each side. The caption reads "you have no way to run".
The thing about all of the glyphs with the creature warnings: except for 窫寙, NONE of the kanji have any coherent meaning in Japanese. They are part of a set of 12 characters called "ghost characters" (a term sneakily foreshadowed by the use of 鬼 immediately preceding it), which are kanji characters of no known provenance recorded in the 1997 JIS X 0208, originally established as the JIS C 6226 in 1978, with revisions in 1983, 1990, and 1997. The purpose of this Japanese Industrial Standard was to catalog all known kanji in common use in Japan, leading to a set of 6,355 kanji characters, and codify them into 2-byte format as a precursor to the current UTF-8 Unicode standard. These characters have been found from numerous sources both Chinese and Japanese, dating all the way back to the 6th century AD.
A notable inclusion is the 窫寙, which is a misspelling of 窫窳. This is a creature from Chinese mythology referred to as the Yàyǔ, a monster mentioned in the Han Dynasty Classic of Mountains and Seas, and the Huainanzi (Writings of the Huainan Masters) which dates to sometime in the second century BC. The Yàyǔ is described to be a compound creature with serpent, draconic, and human features that resides in the Ejin River of northern China and feeds on humans. Notable features that this video touches upon include the fact that it emits a noise like a child crying (remember this for later), and that it was once a benevolent dragon but not only died but was later reanimated as a revenant.
The implication of this inclusion is evident: the 12 known ghost kanji are representations of entities that all prey upon humans. Entities that you MUST NOT encounter under any circumstances. And if the 椦 glyph is any indication, you are already too late. Something else worth mentioning is that two pictograms (彘 and 窫寙) bear red lines, similar to how 大 was depicted with a red crossbar. Is it possible that the ancients sacrificed the condemned to these entities in an effort to appease them?
Chillingly, the final glyph returns to the simple 人, but this time with no translation except for the caption: "please stay away from this creature". This speaks volumes, and could be interpreted in many ways, but with the inclusion of this character among the inhuman creatures, one interpretation stands out: cannibalism.
With that, the video ends with a group of pictographs: water, a burning man, and a child under a roof: "A Trapped child that watching it's family cries in fire beside a river" (Remember how the Yàyǔ made a sound that mimicked a crying child?). And the ultimate evolution of this image? The very title of this video: 漢字, or "Chinese Characters".
Even that has some interesting aspects of its derivation; dividing into the two characters 漢 and 字, we see much of what we have previously discussed, but with the same horrifying spin that we've been previously exploring throughout the video. The glyph 漢 is a combination of 水 (in the modifying form of 氵) and 𦰩, which we have previously discussed. In THIS character, however, the modified glyph is in fact an abbreviation of 暵, which is used in this case as a proper name, in this case, the Hanshui River, a tributary of the Yangtze. This is a phono-semantic compound which is used in this context to refer to the Han Chinese (with the semantic component being 水 and the phonetic component being 暵), for it is this ideogram that was ultimately used as a name for the people.
字 on the other hand DOES in fact mean "letter", "symbol", or "character", which in this case refers to the Chinese characters. It is indeed comprised of the glyphs for a house (宀), and a child (子), where the latter is used once again as the phonetic component for the overall character. In the context of this particular fanciful interpretation of Chinese history and the development of Chinese writing, the hidden implications make themselves evident.

Amazing. Personally, having no knowledge of the language, the way the footage unravels into vaguely threatening depictions reminded me a lot of those long-term nuclear waste warning messages. It's fascinating how stuff like this is capable of instilling fear, like it's just coded in us.

English speaker here! i really loved watching this as it reminded me of another analog horror video
the way i interpret this video, it ties more into ancient language describing "something" and this "something" is what they saw and made them scared, so scared that it had to be written in chinese characters and it has probably lost it's meaning, the chinese ancestors saw something and it had to be passed down for generations
Kind of like the biohazard or radioactive symbol right? Like how in a millennium the same symbols for danger would be lost or changed meaning. I agree it’s a fresh take on analog horror that’s been so oversaturated lately
It's honestly interesting. It makes me appreciate my philosophy class. Thank you semiotics.
I also want to add that the Kanji shown in 2:36 and later are a classification of Kanji called _Yūrei Moji_ or Ghost Kanji. These Kanji don't exist and were accidentally created when the JIS kanji sets was being compiled. I think that this fact really makes the video more beautiful as it adds on to the narrative of your interpretation, by implying that the Kanji's weren't a mistake and really did hold meaning, but was lost in time because whatever it was describing either fell into obscurity, was hiding from society, or was being hid from society (spook factor!).
P.S. I just realized that a Chinese(?) comment has already pointed this out but, oh well!
By the way, not to break the horror, but the characters from the last parts are all either rarely used, are kanji-only (meaning they only exist in japanese), or have been simplified to, well, simplified chinese. Though it is interesting to try to see this from someone who doesn't know chinese and reads them purely from a pictography standpoint.
From what I was given, I think the cursed characters are:
A ghost(?) with two mouths
A female demon who lives in a mountain
A dragon who lives in a forest
A mass of sentient hands?
A giant fish with...something
Two humans killing (sacrificing?) a human at sunrise
A monster with giant hands who feast on humans, who lives at a forest near rivers
Two houses (maybe temples) each guarded by a human looking guard
A giant heavenly snake
A massive sacrifice in a forest to appease a dragon
A cursed word that can end someone's life
A multi-armed solar deity (or demon)
Child sacrifice at a temple
A massive catastrophe caussed by the sun?
Something that looks like a human but it's not
Of course these are just my interpretations. I don't speak Chinese nor can I understand each character

演算法推我這個不錯的東西，感覺很有潛力做成系列
発想が面白すぎる！普通に象形文字ってこんなんだっけって見入ってしまった😅
それにp音楽がキャッチーな分ホラー要素がくると余計怖さが引き立つの好き
好棒的创意，而且视频的恐怖氛围渲染的太强了
“鷹”跟“難”還有最後一段的“漢字”真的是天才
영어권 사람들이 한자 처음 봤을 때 느낄 것만 같은 감정을 비틀어 표현한 느낌이네요. 이런 아날로그 호러도 좋아요!
i felt like many people missed the fact that the penultimate part of the video uses phantom Kanji which bears no meaning on it's own
i also appreciate the fact that this kinda gave it some story
Will say that yes these back half of the video is ghost characters in Japanese kanji. But in Chinese, some are legitimate characters.

So good. Love the concept and how you experimented with these ideas in each segment.
As a Korean I do agree 漢字 looks and feels like torture of being burnt alive or held captive in a house.😅
before the word 弓哥 there was the word 鬼 (ghost), and 弓哥 is infact a 鬼字/幽灵字 (ghost word), 幽灵字 means that the Chinese character has no meaning, like a few hundred years ago it could’ve had a meaning, but it got lost to time. And all the words after 弓哥 are all ghosts words, which I think is very fascinating :D
edit: the only word I think isn’t a ghost word is 人 (human), 罪 (crime) and 閠, which I am not sure the meaning of
閏年-天文曆法裏面會使用到的一個字
@@lbwnb3470谢谢！！
閠 means extra
Fun fact, the 「弓哥」character is in Unicode as 「彁」.
We're using Chinese characters not kanji, dude.
概念跟構想都好棒，沒想到還能用字義字形來創造模擬恐怖‥！
而且因為好奇查了一下彁是什麼，才知道原來有幽靈漢字的存在，在傳承中可能因為各種原因錯誤或是丟失其義的字，本身就有些靈異的感覺，合在一起真的是迸出新滋味，太酷了超級佩服‥！🙏
其实这个字是音游圈很出名的一个曲子的名称

진심인데, 대체 이게 뭐가 무서워요..? 억지로 노이즈 효과를 더했다고 덜덜 무서워하는 이유를 모르겠어요. 이걸 무서워하는 당신이 제일 충격적이고 무섭네요.
なにこれめっちゃリズム癖になる
I love stuff that screws with language like this. Using non-existent Chinese characters to represent monsters is probably the most creative horror concept I’ve ever seen.

Dang, this analog horror is interesting. Yet it technically also resembles a music video.
And I like the suspense of some parts where they add lines, or some parts where some of the characters go wrong
Thank you for making this
超級猛 氛圍感拉滿 出現在主頁好奇點進來看 居然能把漢字的形狀解釋成這麼有詭異感的樣子 佩服
2:42 彁 這個是幽靈文字💀 還有兩個真人嘴巴 所以我覺得 這是一直長著兩只嘴的怪物
2:48 妛 這個也是幽靈文字 這值得應該是一種三頭六臂的生物
2:48 橦 也是幽靈文字 這指的應該是一種吃樹木的生物 但下面又說'請遠離這種生物'所以這個生物有可能是指'饕餮'的變種(僅為個人猜想)
2:49 挧 同為幽靈文字 是 栩 的異體字/誤寫 本人認為 栩 原本是一種正常的生物 結果後來有一隻 栩 變異了 變成了變體 挧 在這裡看起來像一只長著翅膀的手臂(僅為猜想)
Feels like something I'd find in a Chilla's Art game, insanely well executed 💚

看阿力栗來的？我也是
慕名而来，我真的超爱这个创意的！🥰好像突然发现了中式恐怖新方向
除了春聯、古宅，另一個讓我毛骨悚然的東西。
老實說我覺得滿有趣的。點進來之後有了聲音才開始感覺到詭異，而且再加上各種出人意料的片段，讓觀眾能瞭解到恐怖片使觀眾害怕的幾個原因。
This feels extremely targeted because I just learned about the “ghost kanji” yesterday from an unrelated video 😂
You're absolutely right, almost ALL of the "please stay away from this creature" glyphs are actual "ghost kanji" that have no coherent meaning.
Let me guess, Half as Interesting?
Is it the one Taiko no Tatsujin song
@@SeanSkyhawkmaybe they’re supposed to have no meaning cuz they’re entities that prey on humans? Maybe.
