1, which is an ancient Chinese character, can be traced back to the Xia Dynasty in China. This word was originally used to represent a historical figure-Dayu, who was a famous water conservancy worker in ancient legends of China. Later, the word Yu gradually evolved into a surname and became the name of many people in China.
2. Yu's structure is very simple, with only nine paintings, but it contains rich cultural connotations. First of all, from the glyph, Yu looks like a dragon, which represents Dayu's lofty position in the hearts of ancient China people. Secondly, the structure of the characters is also very interesting. It consists of three parts: a word "mouth", a word "eight" and a word "father".
3. Spoken language represents Dayu's eloquence and wisdom. Legend has it that Dayu successfully introduced floods into the sea by opening canals to divert water and dredging rivers. People admire his wisdom and courage, so the word "mouth" also represents his intelligence in metaphor.
The rest of the phrase is as follows:
