There is a way to write Baozi in traditional Chinese, as shown below.

Bao, pronounced as bǎo, has a phonetic form. The shape of the oracle bone characters resembles shells and jade in a house, indicating that there are treasures hidden in the home, which is a sign of understanding. In the bronze inscriptions of the Western Zhou Dynasty, another sound symbol "綻" was added (the ancient sound is the same as "宝").

The original meaning refers to precious things, that is, "Shuowen Jiezi": "Bao, treasure." It is extended to the general name of jade, jade tokens, the seal of the emperor and the prince, and also extended to precious equivalent meaning.

Related words include magic weapon, pagoda, treasure house, treasure, treasure, sapphire, sword, treasure, bet, press treasure, etc.

1. Evolution of glyphs

Bao, both a pictorial and phonetic character. The inscriptions on oracle bones are from "倀" (house), from "bei" (currency), and from "王" (jade), which means that there are treasures in the house. In the Shang Dynasty, some people omitted the word "bei" and made it into the shape of "?". This writing method was followed in the ancient prose of "Shuowen". In the bronze inscriptions of the Zhou Dynasty, Fou (vessel, also valued by the ancients) was added, and Fou also represented a sound, becoming a knowing and pictophonetic character. The seal script follows the bronze script and is neatly arranged.

As the Han Dynasty progressed, some official scripts changed "Bao" to Conghu, Congzhen or Jie (a variation of "Zhen"), Congbei, in the form of "Bao". After the official reform, the regular script was written as "宝", and the variant was written as "宝". Nowadays, they are all simplified to "bao", which means that there is jade in the room.
