Cognitive point of view is the focus of attention that people observe objects based on their life experiences, customs and habits, including front view, side view, perspective view, etc. Chinese characters originated from pictures and symbols. Han characters originated from pictures and marks, among which, hieroglyphic characters are created by the method of “painting the object and interrogating it according to the body”, inheriting and preserving most of the characteristics of primitive pictures, which are the most powerful and preserving the cognitive focus of the forefathers at that time. This paper starts from the hieroglyphic system of Shuowen (説文), combines the theories of experiential philosophy of cognitive linguistics and visual perception in art to explore the cognitive viewpoints of the forefathers when they made the hieroglyphic characters and the reasons for it, and categorizes the cognitive viewpoints of hieroglyphic characters of Shuowen (説文) to further deepen the understanding of hieroglyphic characters.
