2. Blood (pinyin: xuè, xiě) is a commonly used Chinese character, and the earliest glyph was found in Oracle Bone Inscriptions in Shang Dynasty. In ancient Chinese characters in China, blood is like the blood of livestock in sacrificial vessels. At first, it refers to the blood of livestock sacrificed to gods, and later refers to the blood of people and animals. Kinship extends from consanguinity to consanguinity, which is also a metaphor for strength and warmth.
3. In ancient times, blood was pronounced as a sound, but now it is divided into two pronunciations: xuè and xiě, and xuè is mostly used in written language; Xic is mostly used in spoken language and often used alone.
