One Chinese character a day - 尋

【Glyph evolution】

Looking, the oracle bone (like a person with two arms out) (sleeping mat), means opening both arms, measuring the length of the mat. The ancients measured the length of the flattened sleeping mat to calculate the precise height of the sleeping person. Some oracle bones replace seats in the shape of long strips, emphasizing the measurement of "length"; at the same time, "mouth" (items with long, wide, and height characteristics) is added to indicate the length or width or height of the measuring items. The seal text replaces the length of the oracle bone with "work", emphasizing the use of a special ruler to measure the length; at the same time, "彡" (hair, substitute head) is added to indicate that the height of the person is measured from head to toe. Original meaning: Verb, measure the length of the item with both arms outstretched. Lishu omits the "彡" (hair) in the seal glyph. In the "Simplified Scheme for Chinese Characters", the simplified script "尋" is omitted, and the "work" (work ruler) and "mouth" (article) in the Lishu glyph are omitted.

【The Story of the Word】

One Chinese character a day - 尋

Walk alone on the river to find flowers

Don Du Fu

Huang Siniang's family is full of flowers, and thousands of flowers are pressed low.

The butterflies dance from time to time, and the warblers cry at ease.

Translation:

The path around Huang Siniang's house was full of flowers, and thousands of flowers were bent and the branches were low and low from the ground.

Frolicking butterflies swirl among the flowers and leave, and the free little yellow warblers call pleasantly.

unscramble:

This is a very interesting little poem about the scene. The paths are full of flowers, the branches full of flowers are pressed down and hung low, and above the petals are lingering butterflies, which dance around the branches. From here, we smell the rich floral fragrance. On the path next to the flowers, there are crisp and chirping yellow warblers, and their lively and free looks give people a relaxed and pleasant feeling. The poet uses these very rhythmic words, which make the whole bright and complex picture full of movement, and also make the poetry have a brighter and more fluent rhythm. The language of the whole poem is full of colloquialism. It is very intimate to read, and the heartfelt joy that the poet feels in the spring jumps out on the paper.

This group of poems was written after Du Fu settled in The Caotang in Chengdu, in the spring of 761 (the second year of Emperor Suzong of Tang) or in 762 (the first year of Zong Baoying of the Tang Dynasty). In 760 (the first year of the first century), Du Fu, after suffering from chaos, built a grass hall on the banks of Huanhua Creek in the western suburbs, and temporarily had a place to live. In the spring of the following year, when the flowers bloomed, he walked on the banks of the Jinjiang River to admire the flowers, and wrote a group of poems called "Seven Absolute Sentences of Seeking Flowers Alone by the Riverside".
