Cang Jie(Traditional Chinese: 倉頡; Simplified Chinese: 仓颉, Pinyin: cāng jié), is a legendary figure in ancient China, claimed to be an official historian of the Yellow Emperor and the inventor of the Chinese characters. Legend has it that he had four eyes and eight pupils. When he invented the character, the deities and ghosts cried and the sky rained millets.
