The difference between "cloud" and "cloud" Editor
There is a "characteristic character" in simplified Chinese characters, that is, using the original traditional Chinese characters Replace the word with the characteristic part, such as "西 (西), 丽 (丽)" and other characters.
However, the word "cloud" is different. "Cloud" is an ancient word, and its shape is like a cloud. In ancient times, "cloud" not only meant "clouds", but also meant "saying". Later, in order to distinguish the two meanings of "cloud", people added the prefix "rain" to the word "cloud" in clouds, which became the word "cloud". The word "cloud" does not have the meaning of "say".
In the process of calligraphy creation, we say that the "cloud" in "Zi Yun Shi Yun" can only be "cloud" and cannot be written as "cloud".
The best word for “cloud” is “云”. [2]
