The Japanese write their language with ideograms they borrowed from China nearly two thousand years ago. Chinese ideographs were used both for their meaning and for their pronunciation in order to represent the Japanese language. Chinese logographs writing are records of divinations performed in communication with ancestral spirits. The reading for Kanji is split into two major categories called kun-yomi and on-yomi. Kun-yomi is the Japanese reading of the character while on-yomi is based on the original Chinese pronunciation.
