Jing (Pinyin: Jing) is a Chinese character (commonly used word) and a first-class universal standard in Chinese. The word "Jing" first appeared in the bronze inscriptions of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and there are different opinions on the original meaning of "Jing". The word "respect" in the bronze inscriptions of the Western Zhou Dynasty is mostly used to express seriousness and respect. The meaning of respect first appeared in the bronze inscriptions of the Spring and Autumn Period. The elegance and vulgarity in the Book of Songs are often used to express seriousness and respect. Later, "respect" also refers to polite dedication, pious worship, respect and so on.
"Jing" was first seen in the Western Zhou Dynasty inscriptions, and its glyph changed from "_(p)" to "p". The configuration and original meaning of Jing are different. One way of saying this is to know words. On the left side of the bronze inscription is the mouth, and on the right side is the hand with a stick or whip. The two sides know each other, indicating that they are holding a wooden stick in their hands and shouting with their mouths, conveying the meaning of caution. This is "respect".
The word "_" on the left side of Xiao Zhuan is called by the shepherd to the sheep: on the right side, the stick or whip is still in the hand, and the meaning has not changed. Regular script is made of seal script. The original meaning is warning, which is the word "police". When we say this configuration, we mean that holding a stick is awe-inspiring. Its original intention is to respect people and be polite.
Some people think that the "_" on the left side of the word "respect" is not a human shape, but a dog shape. The "Yi" on the right refers to a stick, that is, to teach dogs with a stick, and to be obedient and respectful to their owners. Its original intention is to treat people with respect and courtesy. Guo Moruo, a modern philologist, also thinks that "_" is an ideographic character for dogs, but he thinks that dogs are mostly used for guarding, and "respect" is the initial word for "police".
