The Tsung-Tsi Blossoming

Linguistic Evolution

228

The origins of writing on Kai'Rin are shrouded in some mystery, though the first of them can be traced back to around the start of the 3rd century, often referred to as the "Tsung-Tsi Blossoming" or the "Kai'Rinese Explosion," for writing came from non-existent to pervasive.


It's believed writing first came to Tsung-Tsi by way of foreigners, though it was rapidly adopted by the ruling Emperor, who established the formal Kai'Rinese script and issued decrees which mandated literacy amongst the nation's bureaucracy.
