The origin of my words

I, pronounced wǒ, was first seen in Oracle Bone Inscriptions. Its original meaning in Oracle Bone Inscriptions refers to the weapon used by slave society to execute people and dismember animals. Later, it was extended from the original meaning to "raise the cymbals and shout and demonstrate".

However, in the Warring States period, the original meaning of the word "I" was destroyed by later better weapons, so the word "I" was widely used as the first-person pronoun after the Han and Tang Dynasties, so Shuo Wen Jie Zi was interpreted as "self-denial" and its pronunciation has remained unchanged since then.

Its radical is grid cloth, and the stroke order is left, horizontal, vertical hook, lifting, oblique hook, left and dot, with a total of 7 paintings. Related words are: forget me, us, my family, therefore, ego, ego, my teacher, my baby, my delusion, know me and so on.

Extended data:

First, the evolution of glyphs.

The word "I" in Oracle Bone Inscriptions is like an ancient weapon with a handle and a hook-a big axe with a row of sharp teeth on its mouth. This is a weapon used by slave society to execute people and dismember animals, called wǒ. In ancient times, some people called this kind of saw axe "Thumb".

This hieroglyph, in the bronze inscriptions in the early Zhou Dynasty, still retains the image of a long-handled saw axe, except that there is a foot hook under the handle of the axe, and the sawtooth is reduced to only three teeth. But in the late Zhou Dynasty, the configuration of the word "I" began to change: the top hook of the axe handle became a fork, the foot hook of the axe handle became an oblique hook in the middle of the axe, leaving only two Kouga, and the axe handle was bent to the right.

By the Qin dynasty, it had developed into a small seal script, which changed a lot: the axe body and sawtooth became the form of pictures, and the axe handle and the upper and lower hooks became the form of pictures, and it was completely impossible to see that "I" was the true face of the saw axe.

Later, on the basis of Xiao Zhuan, this pictographic character developed into a Han Li with pictures, which changed from lines of pre-Qin characters to strokes, and replaced lines with dots, horizontal strokes, strokes and hooks. As for the regular script of Tu, it developed from the body.

"I", the killing weapon in slave society, was eliminated by later better weapons during the Warring States period; Therefore, after the Han and Tang Dynasties, the word "I" was widely borrowed as the first person and pronounced as wǒ, and the pronunciation of this word has not changed.

(Before the pre-Qin and even the Han and Tang Dynasties, the first person was expressed by words such as "I", "Yu" and "Yu". But the part of speech has changed from a noun to a personal pronoun, and the original meaning of "I" as a murder weapon has long been unknown.
