Zhu, a first-class Chinese character in China, was first seen in Oracle Bone Inscriptions. Its original meaning is trunk or red heart wood, a red heart tree, that is, the so-called red heart wood and conifers in Shuo Wen Jie Zi. By extension, it refers to scarlet, and also refers to cinnabar. It is used as a verb to refer to something dyed scarlet, and also to vermilion.
In terms of glyphs, the word "Zhu" in Oracle Bone Inscriptions is the pictograph of a tree. The central axis represents the trunk, the two branches extending upward above represent branches, and the two branches extending downward below represent roots. In the middle of the trunk, there is a short cross, which represents the red tree core. This skillfully expresses the original meaning of the word Zhu, the name of a tree, that is, the red heart tree, belongs to conifers.
