Word source

The configuration and original meaning of "truth" are still inconclusive. Xu Shen's Shuo Wen Jie Zi thinks that the upper part is a human being, and the middle part is the word "eye", which means eyes. Together, the following word "one" and "eight" represent the instruments that immortals ride to heaven. Together, they are enlightened people. However, most scholars don't agree with Xu Shen's explanation, thinking that he understood the meaning from Xiao Zhuan. ?

There is a saying that "truth" comes from "Zhen", and "Zhen" and "Zhen" are homophonic in ancient books, so the word "Zhen" in bronze inscriptions is borrowed as "Zhen". The inscription of "Ji" is exactly the same as that of "Zhen". On the bronze inscription, the word "Bu" is on the top and the word "Ding" is on the bottom. The word "Ding" is a cooker, which stands for fire. Roast tortoise shells with fire to predict bad luck to show authenticity. Or think that the upper part of the bronze inscription is the word "Bi", which will make people eat delicious with daggers.
