Extended information:

1. Liu, a common Chinese character, pronounced liú or liǔ, was first seen in Oracle or official script. The original meaning is to kill, and later it was extended to indicate weapons such as axes and axes. "Shuowen Jiezi" probably failed because it avoided the taboo of the Han emperor Liu's surname. However, there are characters with "Liu" as the radical and the character "鐂" is not found in historical biographies. Based on this, Xu Kai inferred that the traditional "Liu" was The flexed "dao" (刂) was mistaken for "田" and "鐂". Chinese character reference books generally use Xu Kai's statement.

Shuowen Jiezi, referred to as "Shuowen", is a writing reference book compiled by Xu Shen, an economist and philologist of the Eastern Han Dynasty. It was written in the twelfth year of Emperor Yongyuan (100) of the Han Dynasty. By the first year of Emperor An's Jianguang reign (121), "Shuowen Jiezi" was my country's first dictionary arranged by radical.

2. Running script was developed on the basis of official script. It is a font between regular script and cursive script. It was created to make up for the slow writing speed of regular script and the difficulty of identifying cursive script. "Xing" means "walking", so it is not as sloppy as cursive script, nor as straight as regular script. In essence, it is the cursiveization of regular script or the regularization of cursive script. Those with more regular script than cursive script are called "Xing Kai", and those with more cursive script than regular script are called "Xing Cao".
