Pi (Pinyin: pí) is a first-class standard Chinese character. This word first appeared in Oracle Bone Inscriptions in Shang Dynasty, and its ancient glyph was like peeling by hand, which was extended to peeled skin and used as a noun. It also refers to the epidermis of other creatures, then to the outer layer and outer layer of things, and also refers to thin sheets similar to skin. The toughness of skin also means that things are resilient. "Skin" also means not listening to others' advice, being as flexible as skin and not easy to change, that is, being naughty.
Leather characters have appeared in Oracle Bone Inscriptions, and their shapes and structures are explained as follows: 1. It is like a hand-held peeling instrument, with the upper part of the characters representing the instrument and the lower right part representing the hand. When the shape of the upper part represents the animal's head, the vertical part in the middle represents the animal's body, and the right semicircle represents the uncovered animal's skin, the word "You" below is the hand, and the whole glyph represents the shape of peeling the animal's skin by hand.
During the Warring States period, the word "you" was used as an inch, but it did not reach the mainstream position (and it was a substitute for both form and meaning). There are many changes in the shape of the upper member; Serious corruption is isomorphic. Xiao Zhuan, on the top, became like the division of animal heads and the peeling of animal skins, while on the bottom, it opened the shelf of animal skins, while the hands kept their original shapes unchanged. After the formal reform, the writing method of regular script is "Pi", and the brushwork meaning is combined with the change of brushwork posture to become a symbol word.
