Chen, from Fu, from East, and from East. The original meaning of "East" is "the growing side", and it is escaped as "the growing grain". The original meaning of "fu" refers to "hill", and escape refers to "ridge".
The combination of "house" and "east" means "one side of the field, surrounded by grains." In ancient times, the words "Chen" and "Tian" were interchangeable, because the original meaning of "Tian" was "clod", and the grain planted on it was arranged neatly, like soldiers. The word Chen is also used as "array". Because ancient military formations were generally square. If the formation of the army is compared to a square field and the soldiers in the formation are compared to whole grains, then "Chen" and "array" are interlinked.
The pronunciation of "Chen" in Putonghua is quite different from the ancient sound of "Chen" in Chinese. It is worth noting that Chen's ancient sound is still preserved in Min dialect and Chaozhou dialect in Guangdong. The word "Chen" has been written in many ways in the pre-Qin period. See bronze inscriptions in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, such as _, Chen Dun, Zi Hu and Chen Zun. This can be explained by Chen Zi himself. In ancient times, the word "Chen" and the word "array" were just one word, with accessible sound and meaning. "Chen, column also."
