Luan (pronounced Luan) is a first-class word (commonly used word) in the General Specification for Chinese Characters. This word first appeared in the bronze inscriptions of the Western Zhou Dynasty. The original meaning is to control silk and silk chaos, and later it is extended to the meaning of governing, chaos, rebellion, war, chaos, chaos, chaos and arbitrariness.
Chaos, first seen in the inscriptions on bronze in the Western Zhou Dynasty, is like two hand-held tools to straighten out the messy silk. During the Warring States period, there was another variant. The decorative symbol "kou" was added on the left and right sides as a variant, and then it disappeared. When the former wrote the Warring States Period, it looked like a hand in the upper left and a tangled shelf in the middle, and then a "B" was added to the right. Since then, the structure has been the same, and there have been retro varieties in the Qin Dynasty, which have not become the mainstream.
There are many variants and writing methods of ancient official script, but the left half has been changed. The "b" on the right has not changed. After the development of regular script, it was simplified. When the left tongue and right hand are combined to represent a corner, it means that you are shaking your lips in the corner, creating rumors and creating chaos, and there is the simplified word "chaos" now.
Chaos is a cognitive word. The "claw" on the left represents the hand, and the "you" below also represents the hand. The shape in the middle is like a haircut tool with a bunch of silk on it. Generally speaking, it is to comb a mess of silk with two hands to facilitate spinning. Therefore, Guansi is the original meaning of "chaos". The process of silk management leads to the significance of governance and management. Because the original meaning is "straightening out the chaos", it contains the meaning of "chaos", so chaos has the extended meaning of turmoil.
