Kanji Fun Talk: Curse

"Woe" (huo4), the oracle bone "woe" word has two basic shapes, the first is a hieroglyph, the second is a meaning and shape sound character. The first "curse" character is like a bone with a "bad omen", indicating that the ancestors are not blessed, and the gods have descended on disasters;

The second glyph is a "dog" added next to a bone with a "mega pattern", which means that the bone was taken away by a dog, which means that there is a disaster to come.

The first paragraph of Jin Wen's "curse" character is that there is a "show" in the lower left of "Ge", indicating that the ancestral god's throne was smashed by "Ge", that is, the arrival of the enemy army, the Jiangshan Society was not safe, and even the ancestral temple was destroyed.

The word "curse" in the second paragraph of the Golden Text adds a "mouth" under the first oracle bone, and a "show" is added to the left, which means to drive away evil spirits and avoid disasters by means of sacrifice, and adds "mouth", emphasizing that "disaster" is declared by the gods. As a result, the word evolved into a conjugational word.

The word "curse" of the small seal continues the second glyph of the Jinwen, and the lishu and the letter are in the same vein, and the writing "disaster" is written.
