"Yi" is an uncommon Chinese character, which is usually used in calligraphy or poetry. Yi has a unique shape and consists of two parts: "skin" and "ghost". Let me explain it in detail below.
First of all, the left half of the word Yi is the word "Ge". Ge character is a basic Chinese character, which has many meanings, including deletion, modification and modification. The font of the leather character consists of two parts: "towel" and "inner container", with the towel above and the inner container below. Towel means cover, cover, cut and change. Therefore, the overall meaning of the word "skin" is to change the status quo and bring forth the new.
Secondly, the right half of the word Yi is the word "ghost". Ghost character is a basic Chinese character with many meanings, including ghost, evil spirits, mystery and so on. The glyph of the ghost word consists of "evil" and "ghost", with evil on the top and ghosts on the bottom. Evil means evil and evil, and ghost means mysterious and supernatural. Therefore, the overall meaning of ghost characters is mysterious and unknowable.
To sum up, the shape of Yi characters consists of two parts: skin and ghost. Its overall meaning is reform, change and mysterious existence. Because this word is unique, it is generally only used in calligraphy or poetry, and it is not common in modern Chinese.
