 "Chinese characters began to be made"

 

Pretty straightforward, I'd say, especially as part of the phrase begun a couple lines ago. "In the time of the dragon masters, the fire emperor, the bird officials, and the sovereign of men, Chinese characters began to be made". I have nothing interesting to add, so I'll go ahead and write up the next line, which by  my reading wraps up this part.
