The Etymological Evolution of "Chen"
"Chen" is the original word of "Chen" and "Zhen" Chen, and Oracle Bone Inscriptions = (stone, stone hoe)+(that is, "chisel", holding), which means holding a stone hoe and making it at sunrise. Some Oracle Bone Inscriptions wrote "stone" and "cutting". Jin's "stop" (foot) emphasizes the ground; Some inscriptions add "you" (hand) to emphasize labor.
Seal script (stone, stone hoe) (stop, go to the ground) means lotus hoe goes to the ground. When the original meaning of "Chen" disappeared, Oracle Bone Inscriptions added his hands to create another "vibration"; Saying that he struggled to wave his hoe; Adding "inch" creates "humiliation", which means hoeing hard; Add "day" and create "morning" to indicate the time to go to work at sunrise.
Original meaning of word-making: verb, holding a stone hoe and making it at sunrise.
