The evolution process of static characters

The word "Jing" is pictographic. In ancient times, people observed the still water surface and expressed it with a picture symbol, which was later formed. Its evolution process is as follows:

Oracle Bone Inscriptions: Oracle Bone Inscriptions's "Jing" is like a pool of still water, and it is composed of two words "Shui" side by side, indicating the still water surface.

Jinwen: The shape of the word "static" in Jinwen has become more concise, consisting of a word "water" and a word "stop", indicating that the water surface stops flowing and becomes calm.

Lishu: The shape of the word "Jing" in Lishu is relatively standard, consisting of a word "water" and a word "Zheng", indicating that the water surface is calm and wave-free.

Regular script: the shape of the word "static" in regular script remains basically the same, but the strokes are more concise and standardized.

At this point, the shape of the word Jing in modern Chinese characters has been basically finalized and has become an important part of Chinese characters in China.
