Why is Hua Biao called Hua Biao? China's watch

Huabiao doesn't mean Huabiao, but the name of ancient architecture in China. The huge stone pillars used for decoration in front of ancient palaces, tombs and other large buildings are carved with patterns such as dragons and phoenixes, and the carved stone slabs are horizontally inserted in the upper part, which is the Hua Biao, and the representative is the famous white marble stone pillar in front of Tiananmen Square.

It is said that in ancient times, people would set up a wooden post on the main road to identify roads and signs. Later, postal kiosks and delivery rooms also used it as a sign. Its name is "ring wood" or "standard wood" In ancient times, Huan was similar to Hua, so it was slowly pronounced as Hua Biao.

As not only a road sign, but also a message to passers-by, huabiao appeared in the Yao and Shun era of primitive society.
