Xing (pinyin: xing) is a common word in modern Chinese. "Lucky" comes from two words, one originally written as "?" , read xìng. The original meaning refers to unexpected success or avoiding disasters, such as survival and luck; Luck gained by luck often makes people happy, so "luck" means happiness and is used as a verb; It also refers to hopes and feelings. The other one originally wrote "?" , pronounced niè, refers to a kind of torture device similar to handcuffs. "?" Later I wrote "Xing", "?" Sometimes I write "Lucky".
"Lucky" is a confusion of two different words. One is an up-and-down structure composed of two glyphs "Yao" and "Yi (n √)", and the ancient word is written as "?" . Refers to "avoiding disasters" and reads xìng. "Yao" means "premature death" halfway, which means premature death. "Bi" is the word "inverse". "Bi" has the opposite meaning.
The combination of the two forms is the antonym of "premature death", that is, "avoiding the disaster of premature death". Some people think that this "want" means that the head is bent and the expression is not straight, and "qi" is the antonym. The coincidence of the two shapes means "it is lucky to turn a corner and become straight".
The other is hieroglyphics, and the ancient Chinese characters write "?" , shaped like handcuffs, read niè. This kind of handcuffs is a kind of torture device used to lock prisoners or slaves in ancient society. Judging from the shape of Oracle Bone Inscriptions, it really looks like a pair of hollow handcuffs with holes at both ends.
