Etymological evolution:
Tiger, a pictographic character. It looks like a tiger, with a huge mouth, sharp teeth, sharp claws and a long tail, and has patterns on its body. They are all written vertically from head to tail. The word "tiger" first appeared in the Shang Dynasty. In the late Yin and Shang Dynasties, there were already some very simple writing methods, using a single line to represent the patterned body, which became the basic form after the Zhou Dynasty. The claw shape was gradually omitted in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the hind leg shape was omitted in the middle and late Western Zhou Dynasty. Moreover, the long tail was no longer upturned, and the tiger's head looked like a sideways human figure.
By the middle and late Warring States Period, Qin characters were broken into two parts, the upper and lower parts. The lower part had two forms: one, from the late Zhou Dynasty and Spring and Autumn Period, it became a "human" shape, and the small seal script followed it; the other, it became "A" shape, Qin Li followed it. In the early Spring and Autumn Period, we can still see the form of inheriting the hind legs from the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the writings of the Jin Dynasty during the Warring States Period still have this legacy. After the Qin Dynasty, the official script of the Han Dynasty to the Wei Dynasty all inherited the official script of the Qin Dynasty, with "" or "" in the lower part and "?" in regular script.
Although the character "Tiger" in regular script was not written in Han Li, it was originally written in Xiaozhuan. The Zhengding characters of the Tang Dynasty used "tiger" as the main character and "?" as the variant form. After the Tang Dynasty, the character "?" gradually became obsolete and was only used in the art of calligraphy. The original meaning is a tiger, known as the king of beasts, which is extended to an insect that harms things. Later it can be used to describe mighty, brave, cruel and violent.
