Glyph origin edit
Historical forms of the character 香 | |||
---|---|---|---|
Shang | Western Zhou | Shuowen Jiezi (compiled in Han) | Liushutong (compiled in Ming) |
Oracle bone script | Bronze inscriptions | Small seal script | Transcribed ancient scripts |
In the oracle bone script, it was ideogrammic compound (會意/会意): 黍 (“glutinous millet”) + 口 (“mouth”).
In the seal script, the 口 was replaced with the related 甘 (“sweet”).
Currently, the 黍 has simplified into 禾, and the form of the bottom component 甘 has become akin to the unrelated 曰 or 日.
