The original meaning of the word "love" is: cherish and care with your heart, whisper your tenderness and work hard for it. Show affection for people or things.

The word "love" first appeared in bronze inscriptions and is a hieroglyph.

Above is a "owe", which means that a person opens his mouth, breathes and whispers, as if telling his love. There is a "heart" here, which means to cherish. Together, it seems that a person is holding his heart and telling some feelings in his heart.

In the glyph of seal script, the word "love" has been added (inverted "stop", marching), indicating that they are rushing around because they cherish each other. The word "love" in regular script still retains the word "heart", but in our simplified characters today, the word "heart" has been removed.

2. Address the other person's daughter as "your lover"

The expanded data of the word "love"-the evolution of the font;

It consists of "owe" (or "shame") and "heart". Qian (Figure A 1) and Kun (Figure A2) are both human figures sitting on the ground with their mouths open, with Qian's mouth facing left and Kun's mouth facing right. The person who opens his mouth caresses his heart with his right hand (Figure A3, Figure D 1) to show the meaning of "Tell others with your mouth open that I like it in my heart". This is the word "love". Xiao Zhuan in Figure (d) inherited the shape of the bronze inscription (Figure C), but changed "owe" to "money". However, after Qin Shihuang annexed the six countries, he unified the use of the small seal character "love" (Figure E), only adding a downward foot at the foot of the word, indicating that "love" is an act and action, but the word is complicated. This waste is the evolution of "Yan". The picture in figure 0 1-04 shows a downward foot changing from materialization to lines and strokes. Because the toes are down, it means the action from far to near. This word "cong" is not a single word, and later it was used as an ideographic symbol of words such as "winter", "Chu", "Ge" and "Xia".

Later, it was transformed into the font shown in figure F. The transformed regular script is the shape of figure G, mainly the change of the upper part. The "emotion" in simplified Chinese characters adopts running script, and the "heart" and "heart" in regular script are simplified to "friend" in cursive script. The simplification of regular script from "love" with "heart" in the middle to "love" in modern Chinese not only leads to the disappearance of "owe" in bronze inscriptions, but also leads to the disappearance of "heart" in regular script.
