Writing source:
"Zhi" is usually considered as a pictophonetic character. The word "Zhi" in the inscriptions on bronze and Xiao Zhuan, and the word "Xin" in the lower part are a kind of formal symbols, indicating that it is related to people's psychological and ideological activities. The glyph above is the word "Zhi", a silent symbol. In fact, the word "zhi" also has ideographic function. "Zhi" comes from "stop", which means movement and activity.
