"Bai" is a standard first-class character (commonly used character) in modern Chinese. It is pronounced bài in Mandarin. It was first seen in the oracle bone inscriptions of the Shang Dynasty and is a pictophonetic character in the Six Books. The word "defeat" is explained in "Shuowen Jiezi" as "Destroy. Cong Lai Bei. Defeated thieves all follow Bei, knowing. 贁, Baiwen defeat Cong Yi. Bo Maiqie".

The basic meaning of "defeat" is to destroy, to cause damage, such as destroying; the extended meaning is to defeat, to cause defeat, such as defeating the enemy; to relieve, to dissipate, such as destroying fire or poison. In daily use, "bai" is often used as an adjective to express dilapidation, such as lint and waste.

"Defeat" first appeared in the oracle bone inscriptions of the Shang Dynasty. The word "defeat" in the oracle bone inscriptions looks like a hand hitting a precious "ding" with a stick; the bronze inscriptions replace the word "ding" with " cowry".

Later, it gradually appeared in bronze inscriptions of the late Western Zhou Dynasty, Chu-style bamboo slips, Qin Dynasty small seal scripts, and Qin-style bamboo slips. The regular script style and the simplified version of "Bai" all evolved from Qin-style bamboo slips.
