The origin of Chinese characters
The word "Wang" was originally the outline of an axe. At that time, the axe was double-edged, showing its omnipotence. So its axe mouth part forms two horizontal lines above and below the word "Wang", and the axe handle forms a horizontal line in the middle part of the word "Wang". After a long period of evolution and development, "Wang" has become the face of ancient official script and today's regular script. The original meaning of the word "Wang" is axe. The axe is not only a tool to open the way, but also a weapon to kill people in war. Whoever has mastered this big axe will have supreme power. Who is the "king"? This is also the reason why the ancestors used the axe as a symbol of power. Wang Zi has three horizontals and one vertical, and three horizontals represent heaven, earth and people; Heaven and earth are vertical, which is the only "king" theory that heaven and earth should be in charge of.

"Wu" is a combined Chinese character. According to the ancient word-making method of "knowledge", the word "Wu" is composed of stop and case, and also by stop and case. Ge is an ancient weapon, but it is actually a hieroglyph of toes in Oracle Bone Inscriptions. In the inscription, "Zhi" still constitutes the shape of human toes; In seal script, "stop" is still the case. The original expression of the word "Wu" in Oracle Bone Inscriptions is "foot and ge stand side by side", with "foot shape" on the left and "ge shape" on the right. The two are combined into its embryonic form, which means static; On this basis, the font changed from left and right structure to upper and lower structure, and recently formed a "stop" combination. At this time, the biggest change is that the word "foot" is replaced by "stop", and "ge" is moved to the upper left corner of the word "one", indicating that it is dynamic. In the Bronze Age, the word "Wu" in bronze inscriptions has developed from pictographic to understandable, forming a font of "dynamic and static combination", with the same stroke thickness and relatively coordinated structure, which is suitable for people's habitual understanding and memory. Judging from the change of the word "Wu" in Oracle bone inscriptions, its original intention is not to stop fighting for Wu, but the complete expression should be like this: or stop and look forward; In other words, fighting with people and animals, fighting with people is to compete for territory and surplus value, and fighting with animals is to maintain survival and life.

Unitary, pictographic, knowing. A: Bronze inscriptions are like jars. This word comes from the west, from a. "West" originally meant "West". In the ancient culture of China, the West and Autumn were collocated. "Autumn" means "the crops are ripe". Therefore, the escape of "West" refers to "Gu Shu", and its font is like an urn. "One" means "what's in the jar".

Wine, I know. From water, from unitary. The original meaning of "unitary" is wine. "Unitary" is also a phonetic symbol. Original intention: a beverage fermented with sorghum, barley, rice, grapes or other fruits.

Vinegar, I know. Words from unitary, from the past. Legend has it that in ancient China, Yuncheng County, a man named Du Kang invented wine. His son Heita also learned wine-making technology from Du Kang. Later, Heita led the clan to move to Zhenjiang, Jiangsu. There, they felt it was a pity to throw away the distiller's grains after brewing, so they stored them and soaked them in jars. On 2 1, as soon as I opened the jar, a smell that I had never smelled before came to my nose. Under the temptation of rich fragrance, Heita tasted it, which was sweet and sour, so it was stored as a "sauce". What is the name of this sauce? Heita named this sour water "vinegar" and added the word "one" to the number 2 1.
