Brief introduction of Chinese character "Qi";
Qi is a first-class Chinese word, pronounced as qi. This word was first seen in Oracle Bone Inscriptions in Shang Dynasty, and its ancient glyph simulated the appearance of clouds and gas. The original meaning of qi is the gastrointestinal qi produced by the digestion of the third-state substances and foods uniformly dispersed in nature. Later, it was extended to the original gaseous essence energy of human body. Breathing comes from the original gas energy of human body. From breathing to spiritual traits, attitudes and styles; Breathing out of control, angry. Also used as a surname.
Etymological evolution:
Qi is a hieroglyph. Oracle Bone Inscriptions uses three horizontal lines to represent clouds, with the upper and lower horizontal lines being longer and the middle horizontal line being shorter, which is different from the "three-character" Oracle Bone Inscriptions. The inscriptions on bronze in the Western Zhou Dynasty followed the form of Oracle Bone Inscriptions. In the Spring and Autumn Period, in order to highlight the difference with the word "three", the upper part of the word "qi" was bent horizontally.
In the Warring States period, the lower part of the country was bent horizontally, and two variants appeared at the same time, which changed the word "qi" from big, qi sound and fire sound into pictophonetic characters. The characters in the Qin dynasty basically followed the writing style of "Qi" in the Warring States period. After the Han dynasty, the writing form has hardly changed.
Gas was later extended to refer to all gases, such as air, fog, oxygen and water vapor. Breathing is the most basic activity to maintain human survival. It inhales fresh air and exhales foul air in the body, so "qi" also refers to breath, such as "qi" in words such as panting and palpitation.
The water vapor on the ground evaporates and rises to form clouds. The gathering of clouds and gas reduces the rain on which everything depends, and sometimes the gentle and violent wind keeps breathing. We can't feel the change and flow of gas everywhere. It's cold, but the air is getting cold. The flow of qi brings the fragrance of flowers and plants in the distance, so "qi" also extends the meaning of weather, climate and smell.
