The written form of Chinese originated more than 3,500 years ago, and today, this so called 'open-ended' language system has about 5,000 characters or even more (not letters as in the English language). Each character makes up a part of a many syllable word, and each has a meaning in itself. Originally, Chinese characters represented people, animals, and so on, and were actual pictures of these, but over the years, the language has become stylized and the characters no longer look like the things that they are meant to represent. The Chinese language did not ever use punctuation initially, and the calligraphic style aided this fact, but today, both Chinese and Japanese use a simpler form of punctuation, quite unlike that used by Western languages.
