Glyph originEdit

Historical forms of the character 頁
Shang	Western Zhou	Warring States	Shuowen Jiezi (compiled in Han)	Liushutong (compiled in Ming)
Oracle bone script	Bronze inscriptions	Chu Slip and silk script	Small seal script	Transcribed ancient scripts

Pictogram (象形):  卩 +  首 – head of a kneeling person, emphasising “head”.

頁 and 首 (OC *hljuʔ, *hljus) were originally the same pictographic character with the same meaning of “head”, and the graphical difference was that 頁 also included the body in addition to the head of the person.

By the Eastern Han Dynasty [25–220 CE], 頁 has since been used as an alternative popular form of 葉 (“leaf; page”) to mean “sheet; page (of paper)”, which is its main meaning today.

The original sense of “head” is preserved in the radical 頁, which is used in characters such as 頭 (“head”) and 頸 (“neck”).

Etymology 1Edit

Alternative form of 葉 (OC *leb, “leaf; sheet (of paper)”).
