Let's talk about the story of Chinese characters with you
Kanji Fun Talk: 戕
"Qiang1", which is a synaesthetic word. The oracle bone "戕" character is a left and right structure glyph, on the left is a "爿" (Pan2), meaning split bamboo wood pieces, can also be seen as a bamboo wood "爿" woven wall, to prevent wild animals or others from entering, or to be used for captive cattle and sheep and other livestock with bamboo wood "爿" woven fence, on the right is a "Ge" (ancient pecking, hooking weapon), the two shapes are combined, can be regarded as the use of force to destroy the wall or fence, containing the meaning of aggression and aggression.
If you look at the word "爿" horizontally, this is the pictogram of the "bed", and the sharp pecking beak of the "Go" on the right obviously pecks through the "bed" body, indicating that the person who is still sleeping in the bed will be killed (one says that the infant is killed in the rocking column).
One of the "戕" characters in the Jin text is to bend and mirror the handle of the "Ge" in the oracle bone glyph, and the other one writes the "爿" slightly more complicated, the "Ge" handle is bent, and the lower "foot fork" is written as a diagonal painting. The small seal has the same configuration as the oracle bone, and it is written as "戕" after the change.
The original meaning of "戕" is to kill people suddenly without paying attention. "The Left Handbook. The Eighteenth Year of Xuan Gong:"Whoever abuses his king from within (shi4) and kills him from the outside." (A person of his own country who kills his own monarch is called a slayer, and a foreigner who enters the country to kill the monarch of his own country is called a sword.) The ancients believed that killing a prince was a crime of the following, and it was a great act of rebellion. )
"戕" was later often used to mean mutual cannibalism. Cao Cao's "Artemisia Li Xing": "Snobbery makes people fight, and si4 also kills themselves." (Due to the combination of power and advantage, there was a scramble between the various armies, and then the various armies killed each other.) )
