There are various scholarly theories regarding the origin of this word. The traditional theory, proposed in the 17th century by Martino Martini, is that "China" is derived from "Qin" (秦, pronounced chin), the westernmost of the Chinese kingdoms during the Zhou Dynasty, or from the succeeding Qin Dynasty (221 – 206 BC).

The inscriptions of Chinese characters have been discovered in many turtle shells belonging to Shang Dynasty around 1766 BC – 1123 BC which proves that written language has an existence of over 3,000 years. The Chinese language makes use of single unique characters or symbols to represent one word of their vocabulary.
