Here's why:
* Chinese writing system is logographic: Each symbol, called a "hanzi," represents a word or concept. New symbols are constantly being created or adapted for new words and ideas.
* Different types of Chinese: There are simplified and traditional Chinese characters.
* Regional variations: Even within simplified or traditional Chinese, there are regional variations in how certain characters are written.
Instead of listing all symbols, let's focus on what you might be interested in:
* Common characters: There are lists of "most common Chinese characters" that you can find online.
* Radicals: These are basic components that make up many Chinese characters. Learning these can help you recognize and understand many symbols.
* Specific topics: If you have a specific topic in mind (e.g., animals, plants, everyday objects) there are likely resources available that list relevant characters.
To get started, I suggest searching online for:
* "Common Chinese characters"
* "Chinese radicals"
* "[your specific topic] in Chinese characters"
