Extended data:

The word "Yi" in Oracle Bone Inscriptions is like the shape of pouring water into a cup with both hands. After that, it was simple. I saved my hands and only wrote the shape of one cup pouring water into another. Later, it was simplified to the shape of only one cup flowing outward, and finally it was simplified to intercept half a cup vertically, losing its original shape, and finally it degenerated into the word "Yi".

Through the water injection of the word "Yi" and the "abundance" between the two things, it means "change, transformation, transaction and change". At the same time, in daily life, liquid is usually injected from a large cup into a small cup to achieve the purpose of specific use of liquid. For example, when drinking water, water is always poured from the kettle into the cup before use. Therefore, the "Yi" shape also means transformation and use.
