The story of the origin of the word "Yue" is that it was first seen in Oracle Bone Inscriptions in Shang Dynasty.

month, pictograph. Oracle Bone Inscriptions is like a half-moon. Because the moon is short of time and full of time, it means "moon" and is sometimes confused with "evening". Oracle Bone Inscriptions: "On the third day, there will be food in the month." Is its original meaning.

When the word "Moon" reached the bronze inscription stage, the outline of the crescent moon began to change, and there was a little more in the word "Moon". Bronze inscriptions and so on come down in one continuous line, but the shape of the small seal script has changed, and the seal script has become literal. Evolved into the official script stage, the word "moon" has no crescent moon in shape and strokes. Li changed to "kaihua" and then wrote "Yue" in regular script.
