Read the text and answer the questions according to it.
China is the only country in the world which has had literature in one writing for more than 3,000 years.
This order results largely from the nature of the written language itself. It is the use of symbols, not letters
as in Western languages that is the most important in the Chinese language. The symbols represent things
or ideas; unlike groups of letters they cannot be sounded. Thus Chinese writing remains the same and can
be read by people in all parts of the country in spite of gradual changes in pronunciation, the appearance
of regional dialects. The advantage of the written language has had significant effects on the development
of the literature. In handwriting or in print, a piece of literature has visual appeal. This has given a rise to
calligraphy or writing in China, where it has been regarded the same as painting. The main disadvantage
of written Chinese, however, is the great number of symbols it contains. Even basic reading and writing
require knowledge of more than 1,000 symbols.
