2. History:Kanji Derives From Chinese Characters

Explanation

Kanji, which is one of the three writing systems used in the Japanese language, does indeed derive from Chinese characters. When the Chinese writing system was introduced to Japan around the 5th century, the Japanese adopted it and made modifications to fit their own language. Kanji characters are used to represent both meaning and sound, and while some characters have the same meaning in both languages, others have different meanings or pronunciations. Nonetheless, the influence of Chinese characters on the development of Kanji is undeniable, making the statement "Kanji derives from Chinese characters" true.
