The pronunciation of Yin

The pronunciation of Yin is yín.

Yin is a general standard first-level character (commonly used character) in Chinese characters, with a total of 7 strokes. This character first appeared in the small seal script of "Shuowen". The original meaning is rhythmic chanting and chanting. Later, the original meaning was extended to sigh. It also refers to the cry of animals. It also refers to the poetry genre that can be sung in ancient China.

"Yin" first appeared in Xiaozhuan characters in "Shuowen". Then it developed into the Han Dynasty. Compared with the small seal script of "Shuowen", the change is the change of the glyphs below the structure on the right. At this point, the small seal script in "Shuowen" is shaped like a hook, and the lower part of the Han Dynasty text is like a "show" character without those two points. In the subsequent development, it gradually changed into the word "Jin" until it developed into modern Chinese.

"Yin" is a phonetic character. "Shuowen" says that "Yin, groan, comes from the mouth, this sound". The word "Yin" is composed of the word "口" and the word "Jin". "口" means, its shape is like an open mouth. Indicates moaning. "Jin" expresses sound. The original meaning is rhythmic chanting and chanting. "Zhuangzi De Chong Fu" "leans against the tree and chants, leans against the tree and stares in silence" The "yin" here is the original meaning of Yong. Because both chanting and sighing have long sounds, it was later extended to refer to sighing. Also refers to the cry of animals. Also refers specifically to speech, eating and sound being unclear.
