Cangjie is an official under Yellow Emperor. Yellow Emperor assigned him to manage the number of animals in the pens and the amount of food in the warehouse. Quantity of animals and food is gradually increasing and can't be remembered by his brain alone. Thus, he created Chinese characters. Cangjie unified different types of characters and made them systematic and orderly, which has a profound influence on later generations.
