“四”字为什么不再是四条横杠?在甲骨文中,“四”字的写法是画四条横杠,这样使用了上千年,但最终还是不得不改变。如果“四”字继续画四条横杠,那“十”“百”“千”“万”又该怎么画呢?“四”的本义是鼻涕,和数目没有关系。后来,“四”被借用来表示数目,而用“泗”替代了它的本义,如“涕泗滂沱”。 Why is the “four” word no longer four bars? In Oracle, the word “four” is drawn using four bars, which have been used for thousands of years, but eventually they have to be changed. If the “four” characters continue to draw four bars, then “ten ” “hundred ” “thousand ” “million ” and how to paint it? “Four ” the original meaning is the nose, And the number does not matter. Later, “Si ” was borrowed to represent the number, and replaced by “Si ” its original meaning, such as “Sisi Tuo Tuo ”.
