The word "sorry" actually originated in Oracle Bone Inscriptions: it used to be an auspicious pattern.

20 1 1 In April, a farmer in Fengxiang, Shaanxi Province found a piece of pottery engraved with the word "embarrassing". According to experts from the cultural relics department, pottery pieces have a history of more than 2,000 years. The word "Jiong" on pottery tablets is a hieroglyphic, which originated in Oracle Bone Inscriptions, and it is an auspicious pattern that often appears in official documents in the pre-Qin and Warring States periods. In seal script, the earliest word "day" is "embarrassing". Later, Yan Zhenqing, a calligrapher in the Tang Dynasty, wrote the word "Ming" with the method of seal script, which is still used by calligraphers today. 20 1 1 In July, a martyrdom tablet commemorating Zhu Youlang, the emperor of Nanming, attracted onlookers because of the word "embarrassing", which was actually half of the word "Ming".

There is a round sun on the left of the word "Ming" in Oracle Bone Inscriptions. In the Jin Dynasty, the word "Sun" became a wheel shape. After Qin unified the six countries, the implementation of Xiao Zhuan changed many characters in a decorative way. The word "Ming" in Yishan Monument has become "Ming", which is complex in structure but beautiful. After the Song Dynasty, the word "Ming" was officially designated as orthography, which was popularized and used, and "Ming" became a variant, which was rare. However, the last emperor of the Han Dynasty, the grandson of Ming Shenzong Zhu Yijun, once again put the word "Ming" into public view.

At present, the word "Jiong" has become one of the most frequently used Chinese characters on the Internet, and has been given the meaning of "depression, sadness and helplessness", while the original meaning of the word "Jiong" is light. If the word "embarrassed" is regarded as a human face, then "eight" is two eyebrows drooping because of sadness and depression, and "mouth" is a tongue-tied mouth. It seems reliable to be given new meanings such as sadness, helplessness or embarrassment.
