"God" (shen2), which is a synoptic and morphic word. The oracle '神' character is a glyph of left and right structure. On the left is a "show" (like the offering table of the ancient ancestors' sacrifice, the small dots on the top and next to it seem to be placed on the offering table or next to the sacrifice; It is also like a stone pillar or a god tablet like an ancestor' statue), and on the right is "Shen" (the shape of lightning in the sky).

The ancient ancestors believed that this unpredictable and infinitely powerful lightning was the anger of the gods in heaven.) "God" is known differently in different times and in different religions. The ancient ancestors believed that God was the creator and ruler of all things between heaven and earth, and also the spirit after the death of a person with great ability and virtue, God was omnipotent, God was omnipresent, God was everywhere, there was an old saying: There is a god three feet above the head; It is also said: Man is doing it, and Heaven (God) is watching.

Jin Wen inherits the oracle bone glyph. The "god" of the small seal has rewritten the "Shen" character in the golden glyph. The Lishu is written as "From The Book of Worship to the Shen", and the Letter of Letters is thus written as "God".

The original meaning of "god" is the legendary god of heaven. Zhou Li. Tenkan Tsukasazai: "The office of the Great Patriarch, the god of heaven, the ghost of man, and the ceremony of the earth, in order to support the king to build the kingdom." "

"God" also refers to the soul of a person after death. It also refers to gods and immortals. "The Left Handbook. Ten Years of Zhuang Gong": "Xiao Xin Wei Fu, God Fu Fu Ye." (A little credit cannot gain God's trust, and God will not bless you.) )

The power of "God" is extraordinary, so it extends to mean particularly supernatural and magical. Such as "divine calculation, divine skill, divine product, divine magic calculation, divine stroke, miraculous work" and so on.
