Why did the word "member" change into strokes?

You mean "贠", right?

"贠" is a variant of the word "member".

In fact, the ancients deliberately wrote "贠" in order to add some word changes.

Over time, as more people wrote it, it became another way of writing the word "member".

Based on the word "贠", I am reminded of a story in the past:

In the past, A and B had a dispute about how to write the word "member".

A said it could be "厶", B said it must be "口".

Jia is dissatisfied.

Yi said: If "Yuanwai" can be written as "贠外", then "brother" can be written as "Yunchang"? "Monk" means "private monk"?

Then "xiucai" can also be written as "bald talent"?
