In Oracle Bone Inscriptions (Figure A) and Shang Dynasty inscriptions (Figure B, Figure 1), the shape of the word "Ya" is the double hook line of the outline of the word "X", indicating the place of sacrifice (altar). Bronze inscriptions in the early Zhou Dynasty (Figure C, Figure 3, see "Father Xin Gui". Hey, guǐ, read ghosts. In ancient times, the shape of "Ya" began to change, with the end lines of the four sides of the "X" protruding and the corners inside rounded. This pictographic character developed to the stage of Xiao Zhuan (Figure D, Figure 8) in Qin Dynasty, which changed a lot. As a result, the official script of the Han Dynasty developed into Figure (E) along the seal script, and later it was transformed into Figure (F). Elegant cursive script appeared in Sui and Tang Dynasties (Figure G). Because there are many strokes (ten paintings) in the word "Ya", the strokes are crooked and writing is very inconvenient; So the cursive method was used to simplify "Ya" into today's simplified word "Ya" (Figure H). With only six paintings, writing is much more convenient. But I can't see the outline of the cross again. The original meaning is that the family emblem faces upwards and the altar looks down.

"In Oracle Bone Inscriptions in Shang Dynasty, the word" Ya "was often used as a surname or rank, but it didn't mean" ugly ". On this basis, the statement in Shuowen is not accurate, but "ugly" refers to "Tuo Lei" in ancient books, which coincides with the statement quoted by Jia and is similar to the usage in Oracle Bone Inscriptions.
