Let's talk about the story of Chinese characters with you
Kanji Fun Talk: Liter
"Sheng1", which is a hieroglyph. In the oracle bones, "liter" and "bucket" are common containers with long handles in the Yin Shang period, the two container shapes are almost the same, the glyphs of the two containers are also very similar, and the area between the word "liter" and the word "bucket" is to add a few small dots to the word "bucket" to distinguish these two different words.
The glyph of the oracle bone "liter" is like a long-handled large spoon, the upper part is the head of the spoon, the lower part is the handle of the spoon, there is a horizontal on the long handle, meaning to hold the hand, the short horizontal or short vertical inside the spoon indicates that there is grain in the spoon, and the small dot next to the spoon handle indicates the spilled grain. The whole glyph indicates that grain is measured in "liters".
The "liter" character of the jinwen continues the oracle bone glyph, and the small seal has been distorted, and the entire glyph is unknown. The Lishu has been distorted again, and the Script has evolved from the Lishu, and the writing "sheng" has no pictographic meaning. The Chinese character simplifies "liter" and merges "sheng" and "陞".
The original meaning of "liter" is a container for the amount of grain. The ten (ge3) is one liter, and the ten liters are one bucket.
"Sheng" in ancient times is also a measuring instrument, with wine pulp to pay hom to guests to raise their hands to show sincere respect, thus extending the rise, what a job. The Book of Poetry. Lesser. Tianbao: "Like the eternity of the moon, like the rising of the sun." "
"Liters" is the main unit of metric capacity. One liter equals 1000 ml. Also called a liter. The current use of the city liter, a city liter combined with the metric system of one liter, that is, 1000 ml.
Note: The difference between liter, ascend, and sheng. The "liter" of a bucket of ten liters is only written as "liter". The meaning of ascension is generally written as "rising". The meaning of the sun rising and rising is written as "rising" or "ascending".
The righteousness of promotion was originally written as "sheng" or "sheng". Before the Tang Dynasty, the word "Sheng" was rarely seen, and after the Tang Dynasty, it was generally only used for the meaning of promotion.
