Expand knowledge-Li
Li, a commonly used Chinese word, is pronounced lǐ, which was first seen in Oracle Bone Inscriptions or Jinwen. Its original meaning is a deciduous tree with white flowers in spring and sweet and sour fruits in summer. Shuowen Jiezi is regarded as "the fruit of a tree", with "wood" as the square and "zi" as the phonetic side.
Therefore, the fruit is sweet and sour, which can relieve difficulties and fatigue. For ancient travelers who traveled long distances on foot, it was almost a necessary condolence item, so it became synonymous with travel preparation in travel bags. Today it is mainly used as a surname.

There are two main views on the etymology of "Li". First, the text in the picture below is found in Oracle Bone Inscriptions, and it should be the word Li in Oracle Bone Inscriptions. Its structure is to put a tree under it, which means that the tree bears fruit.
Secondly, it is considered that the earliest Li, when pushing the ancient Chinese characters in the seal of the Warring States, is a substructure under the wood. But Li was a right-hand man in the Warring States period, not today's body; According to Shang Chengzuo, a philologist, this is an ancient script of Sang Zi Miao, but it didn't appear until Qin Zhuan, so there is no way to verify it.
