The history of offering sacrifices to the side can be traced back to the ancient Oracle Bone Inscriptions period. As early as the Shang Dynasty, the combined characters of bull's head and half-length appeared in Oracle Bone Inscriptions, which can be considered as the predecessor of sacrificing radicals. With the changes of the times, the form of offering sacrifices to radicals has gradually evolved into today's appearance and become an indispensable part of Chinese characters. In today's writing, sacrificial radicals are still widely used, which embodies the beautiful structure and profound cultural heritage of Chinese characters.
