Are the words "short" and "pat" really reversed?

Recently, I saw someone say that the words "short" and "beat" are actually upside down. Look at these two words separately. So someone has to ask, are these two words really upside down? How to understand this problem? Let's analyze it together!

We can see what Gao said.

Xiao said that short is shooting, and shooting is short. We've been doing it backwards, which sounds reasonable. Breaking short is shooting, but isn't it archery? The shooting interval is one inch, but isn't it short? Did Gao find a bug in Chinese? Or is it a misunderstanding caused by the change and simplification of the text? What other similar misunderstandings are there?

@ 中中中中: Shoot short, shoot short, and shoot short. Gao didn't find the answer. Our teacher told us when we were young.

"Arrow" means to shoot a bow and arrow. This need not be explained too much, but the word "Wei" is different from the explanation upstairs. The word "Wei" actually means Japanese, and "short" means shooting the enemy with a bow and arrow.

@ Aerospace: That makes sense. I remember that in high school, some contents in Chinese books were incidental and contrary to the key points. Heavy should mean heavy. Shouldn't two mountains be heavy together? Weight should mean, isn't it a thousand miles to go out? This upside-down situation may be that the person who first learned to write made a mistake and finally passed it on. Nothing is impossible. History is made up anyway.

@ Old Man: The dispute between "shooting" and "short" originated from the seventh volume of Harmony II annotated by Shen Qifeng in Qing Dynasty. "Insect Book" wrote: "Ye Peilong, a Jinping woman, is knowledgeable. At the age of seven, she studied in Fu, and she got a wonderful solution. Taste said to the teacher:' The ancients made words and knew pictographs, sometimes they made many mistakes.' The teacher asked his finger. Say:' Be concise. Shoot an inch, read short. Isn't it the fault of the ancients that modern people reverse the meaning of words? ""This story was attached later, and it was also attached by Ji Xiaolan and Confucius.

When the little girl was seven years old, she knew pictographic characters and knowing characters, and it was really hard to get them. However, a very important question is whether pictographic characters and word meanings can be understood as cats drawing tigers, and words are separated, just like fortune tellers measuring words.

Short and pithy stories are often hearsay without textual research. Don't take it seriously, just listen to stand-up comedy.

@ 京京京京京: Do you still have a bachelor's degree without learning?

The above is Xiao Zong's evaluation of Jiao Fang, a bachelor of cabinet.

Of course, Mr. Gao has an academic background, but I personally think that you should not show off too much in areas where you are not good at, otherwise readers will not buy it.

@ 个个个个个个: To understand this problem, we must look at the origin and evolution of these two words. It is definitely not possible to look at modern glyphs alone. Obviously, Gao's statement is wrong.
