The pronunciation of the word "you" is: yōu; it is a general standard second-level character in Chinese. This character first appeared in oracle bone inscriptions in the Shang Dynasty. The original meaning of this word is to hit. "Shuowen" believes that the original meaning is flowing water, and it is extended to refer to a place of residence. It is also used as a modal particle in a sentence. It can also be used as a conjunction, equivalent to nai, so.
Knowing words. It has appeared in the oracle bone inscriptions of the Shang Dynasty. It is like holding a straight stick, a stick with a fork or a hammer with a handle to hit a person, which is meant to hit. By the Western Zhou Dynasty, three changes had occurred: one was that a vertical pen was derived between the person and the tree, representing the mainstream direction; one was that three, two, or a little water was derived between the person and the tree; There are three horizontal strokes derived from a person's vertical pen.
During the Warring States Period, the first change disappeared, and the vertical pen between the person and the palm disappeared. The second change remains, but is different from the previous generation. There is one point disappearing between the person and the person, two points are preserved, and three points become the word "water", which means "from the person" to the water, and the person disappears. When "Shuowen" was sorting out the small seal script, it restored the character of a vertical pen between a person and a piece of paper, which was regarded as the correct form; it preserved the line of writing from the word "contact" to the water.
After the official reform, the regular scripts were written as ? and You respectively. Nowadays, you are commonly used and ? is rarely used. The original meaning of "Shuowen" is "Xingshui", that is, flowing water, which by extension refers to a place of residence. "Poetry·Daya·Han Yi": "For Han Xiangyou." It is also used as a modal particle in the sentence.
"Book·Hongfan": "The fourth is You Hao De." Oracle bone inscriptions are used as place names and also as country names. Huan Tong "Xiu" means recuperation and strengthening one's virtue; Tong "Xiu" means dried meat.
