"畊" and "ploughing" have been one word since ancient times

First of all, let's be clear: "畊" and "ploughing", both of which are pronounced as [gēng] since ancient times, are a word, and more specifically "畊 is an early way of writing". The same word, the treatment can be different. If you write this [Liu Genghong], it looks like the three masters of the next village, full of rustic. If it is written as "Liu Qihong" is instantly tall, it seems so cultured.

"畊" and "ploughing" have been a word since ancient times

How did "plough" evolve into "ploughing"?

The ancient glyph of "ploughing", a field with a well, has sufficient water. But the problem is that there is more watering, and in the autumn, the land will also appear compacted, which is not conducive to planting, so it is necessary to take tools to turn the ground. The land with water does not need to be ploughed, only the dry land. However, the "field" on the left side of "ploughing" means both water land and dry land. In order to express it more accurately, people remodeled the character for 畊: the tian character on the left was removed and replaced by the word "耒". Rakes are the agricultural tools rakes used by working people in ancient times to carry out soil ploughing. In this way, the ancient Chinese character "畊" has become the modern Chinese character "ploughing" the cultivation of the land.

The pronunciation of "畊" is the same as "more"

In fact, before "畊" did not read gēng but read jǐng, it was also because the land was ploughed year after year, hoping that the grain would get high yields every year, and praying that the harvest in the coming year would "go up" to a higher level. So I borrowed the harmonic sound of "more" and changed it to the pronunciation gēng. At present, there are still some places where the elderly in rural areas do not say that they are cultivated land when they do farm work, which is called jǐng land.

"畊" already belongs to the "strange word"

So far, in the "Modern Chinese Dictionary", the word "farming" has been followed by an asterisk "畊" character, according to the interpretation of "rules", an asterisk means that this belongs to the variant character, "畊" has not met the modern standard Chinese character writing method. Liu Qihong is from Taiwan Province in the mainland, and the word "畊" is still relatively common in Taiwan. On the mainland, "畊" has been included in the first list of variant characters and included in the category of gradual elimination. Therefore, children in the mainland, when they go to the hukou, will be directly defaulted to the common word "ploughing" by the system, otherwise they will be asked to change their names.
