Worm is a common Chinese word, pronounced as chóng or huǐ. Worm and its traditional version are two different words. The simplified word "worm" was first read by huǐ, and the first article was written in Oracle Bone Inscriptions in Shang Dynasty. Oracle Bone Inscriptions's "huǐ" is shaped like a snake, and its original meaning is a smaller poisonous snake. In ancient books, many people write "flies".
The traditional word "worm" is pronounced as chóng, which was first seen in the Warring States period. Its glyph consists of three "huǐ", which represents various types of insects and is also a general term for animals, especially insects. Later, "huǐ" was used as a simplified word for "chóng".
"Bug" is a cognitive word. The glyph consists of three "huǐ", because most insect larvae crawl like snakes. Three has multiple meanings in ancient times, and the original meaning of the word "insect" is the general name of all kinds of insects. But in ancient times, the meaning of "insect" was broad, not limited to insects, snakes and so on.
Therefore, some people think that the original meaning of "insect" should be the floorboard of animals. Insect was first seen in the Warring States period, and its text is relatively simple. A similar example is also found in Baoshan bamboo slips, with the new attachment 1, but it is also composed of three "bugs". The writing of the word "worm" in later generations retained more characteristics of Qin bamboo slips.
Worm (huǐ),? (kūn) There is not much difference in ideographic meaning between "worm" and "worm". In ancient times, pictophonetic characters with the edge of "insect" were mostly used as "huǐ". Since the Song and Yuan Dynasties, common characters have also regarded "huǐ" as a "bug". When Chinese characters are simplified, "huǐ" is used as the simplified character.
