The difference and connection between jade and king

Explanation: The "jade" in Oracle Bone Inscriptions is the shape of several pieces of jade on a rope. A vertical line indicates the middle rope, three horizontal lines or four horizontal lines indicate three or four pieces of jade, and the ropes at both ends are exposed. In the inscriptions on bronze and seal script, there is no longer an exposed rope, and the font is similar to the word "Wang". But there are still differences in reality. The distance between the three horizontal lines of the word "jade" is equal, while the distance between the three horizontal lines of the word "king" is unequal, with the upper part being small and the lower part being large. However, in order to facilitate the distinction, in the official script stage, a little was added, and the later regular script was also this glyph.
