1. In ancient China, people thought that the emperor was an angel sent by heaven to rule all ethnic groups. Therefore, the word "king" is endowed with supreme and authoritative meaning. Look from the glyph, the word "Wang" consists of a horizontal, a vertical and a horizontal. The horizontal line represents the sky, the vertical line represents the earth, and the blank in the middle represents people.

For example, after the unification of the six countries, Qin Shihuang called himself "Qin Shihuang" and Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, called himself "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty".
3. The word "king" can also be extended to the meaning of ruling and being in charge. In ancient China, people thought that the emperor was the master of all peoples and held the power of life and death. Therefore, the word "king" is often used to mean rule and control. For example, there is a poem "King of Yawen" in the Book of Songs, and "King" means to be in charge and rule.
The word Wang Can can also be extended to the meaning of nobility and dignity. In ancient China society, aristocrats were the upper class of society, enjoying lofty status and dignity. Therefore, the word "king" is often used to mean nobility and dignity. For example, Jia Baoyu in A Dream of Red Mansions is called "Mr. Bao", and "Mr. Bao" here is the title of the second generation heir of a noble family.

Wang Xizhi felt that this flag was not enough to represent the authority and dignity of the country, so he decided to write a new word "Wang" instead. After Wang Xizhi returned to the palace, he began to think hard about how to write a more perfect and verve word "Wang". He tried and pondered again and again until one day he finally wrote a word that satisfied him.
