The origin and evolution of Chinese characters can be traced back to ancient Oracle Bone Inscriptions and inscriptions on bronze. Among these words, the left side of the word "eat" means walking, and the right side of the word "sun" means sun. The whole word is shaped like a person walking home slowly after sunset, so the word late means slow action or delay in time.
In bronze inscriptions, the word "chi" is simplified as "car", while in modern Chinese characters, the radical of "chi" becomes "edge", that is, "line". These changes are caused by the evolution and simplification of Chinese characters. The meaning of the word "late" comes from the ancient people's observation and understanding of walking and time. Through the change and development of later characters, we can understand the history of the evolution and simplification of Chinese characters and the ancients' cognition of time and action.
Late four-character idioms:
1, hesitate to wait and see: it means to hesitate to wait and not make a decision. Hesitate, hesitate; Wait and see, wait and see, don't make a decision. China paid attention to etiquette and rules in ancient times, and the communication between people needed to follow certain norms and procedures. If a person does not follow the prescribed procedures, he will be accused and criticized by others. Therefore, people tend to wait and see for a while before acting, and then make a decision after knowing the situation clearly. This behavior gradually evolved into an idiom-wait and see.
2. indecision: describe indecision. Hesitate, hesitate; Can't make a decision. According to historical records, Xiang Yu fled to Wujiang River after his defeat in Gaixia. He could have escaped by boat, but Xiang Yu chose to commit suicide. Later generations used indecision to describe people who are hesitant and undecided.
3, one step behind: describe the slow action and one step behind others. Fall behind others; One step, the gap is not big. It is said that there was a young man who admired ancient literati and dreamed of becoming a calligrapher. So he tried to practice calligraphy every day, but it was always not as good as his original intention, and his grades were very poor. His teacher found this problem and said to him: You are too slow, others have mastered this skill, and you have just begun to learn it. This story later evolved into an idiom-one step behind others.
