From the Oracle Bone Inscriptions shape above, we can clearly see that the word "winter" is like a piece of silk or a piece of rope with knots at both ends (two circles at both ends), which means "end", that is, "end". However, the meaning of "winter" in the sense of "end" has long been abandoned, but it is borrowed to mean "winter" in winter, and when it is meant to mean "end" and "end" in its original meaning, later generations added a "中中" to the left of the word "winter" to create a word "end". At this point, the words "winter" and "end" have a clear division of labor, which means their different meanings. Judging from the above inscriptions, its font structure has undergone a fundamental change, such as wrapping the "sun" (sun) with something, indicating that it is not too warm, and the implication is that it is winter. By the time of Xiao Zhuan, its shape had changed greatly, not only the word "day" was removed from the bronze inscription, but also the word "ice" was added to the lower part of it, which further aggravated the meaning of cold in winter. By this time, the shape of the word "winter" originally meant "end" and "end" has completely changed into the word "winter" with a chill. The phenomenon of ancient and modern different characters produced in the development of Chinese characters is called ancient and modern characters in philology. This is the relationship between "winter" and "end".
The word "winter" is originally the word "end" of "end". You see Oracle Bone Inscriptions (1) how image, like a piece of silk or a rope, both ends are tied with knots, indicating two tops, which means "end". And winter is the last season in the four seasons of the year, so the word "winter" is used to represent it. So what should we do if we want to express the meaning of "last" again? In addition, the ideographic word "silk" was added beside the word "winter" to create a new pictophonetic word "final". By the end of the inscription (2), the figure changed, and the word "day" was wrapped in a rope, indicating that the sun was not too warm, so it also meant winter. The shape of Xiao Zhuan (3) has changed greatly, and the word "day" has been removed from the bronze inscription, and a word "ice" has been added under it; It's quite interesting to change this way. If you don't see the sun but see the ice, it's of course the cold winter when water drops into ice. The word "cut" should be a line drawing on the ground where the sun shines into the west half in the morning and the east half in the afternoon. ④ It is the form of regular script. For the convenience of writing, the ice cubes at the lower part of Xiao Zhuan are changed into two "dots".
when "winter and winter" is used together, it has nothing to do with the meaning of "winter". It is an onomatopoeic word for later generations, such as Lu You's poem "Writing on February 24th": "Tangli flowers bloom and the society is full of wine, and the south village drums in winter and winter." But later, people created a new pictophonetic word "Dong" with the upper shape (drum) and the lower sound (winter) to indicate the sound of drumming, but there were too many strokes, which made it inconvenient to write. Therefore, when simplifying Chinese characters, "Dong Dong" was abolished and "Dong Dong" was still used as the onomatopoeic word. "Dongdong" can also be a person's name.
