Kanji Fun Talk: Analysis

"Analysis" (xi1), which is a synaesthetic word. There are many different ways of writing the oracle bone "analysis", the composition characters in each glyph are "wood" (a tree) + "jin" (axe with a flat handle), the difference is that the writing of "wood" and "jin" is different, and then the position of "wood" and "jin" is reversed left and right, and the two shapes will mean, indicating the meaning of cutting down with an axe or trimming the branches with an axe.

In the oracle bone, the word "fold" is very similar to the word "analysis" at first glance, and the difference between the two words is: the word "wood" is written differently, the middle of the word "wood" (or two grasses) in the word "fold" is disconnected, and the middle of the word "wood" in the word "analysis" is not broken.

During the Yin Shang Dynasty, the Word "Analysis" in the Jin Dynasty was "wood" on the left, and on the right was the meeting to hold a large "axe" and cut into "wood". The "axe" in the "analysis" character in the middle of the Zhou Dynasty gradually became the "jin" character with the evolution of the character. During the Spring and Autumn Period, the character "analysis" distorted the "wood" in the glyph into "he". The small seal inherits the glyph of the character "analysis" in the middle of the Zhou Dynasty, and the lishu continues the small seal glyph, and the letter is written "analysis" from this.
