Xu Shen, a scholar in the Eastern Han Dynasty, interpreted learning Chinese characters as "counting and flying"

①, that is, practicing or learning to fly, which is the original meaning of learning Chinese characters. With the development of human society and culture, Chinese calligraphy has evolved into many important meanings on the basis of its original meaning, and habits and habits are one of them. "Book of Rites and Music" says: "Learn from your teacher for five years", and scholars explain that the meaning of learning Chinese characters is "Chang Ye". Often, that is, often and habitually. Regular and habitual nature becomes habit, which is the basic definition of customary habit. Vulgar characters were first seen in the bronze inscriptions of the Western Zhou Dynasty (bronze inscription "Wei Ding", etc.). Shuo Wen Jie Zi says: "Vulgarity, learning also". This is to explain the meaning of vulgar words by means of annotation, which shows that vulgarity and habit have the same meaning.

A brief introduction to Zhou Li Da Situ says: "Vulgarity, custom is also"; "Xunzi Fuguo" notes: "Vulgarity refers to the customs of the people"; "Lu Lan Long Attack" notes: "Vulgar, often also"; "Zhou Li Da Situ" notes: "It refers to what is often done and what is evil". According to the above explanation, it can be seen that the meaning of custom is similar to or interlinked with the practice of writing, specifically, it is the meaning of custom. The combination of habit and vulgar couplet into the word custom began in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Xunzi's Honor and Disgrace says: "It is the festival difference of annotation custom"; "Spring and Autumn Stories-Wang Daotong" said: "People change customs with likes and dislikes"; Zhao Ce, the Warring States Policy, said, "Chang Min is addicted to customs". According to the explanation of ancient historians, the word "custom" seen in the above-mentioned sentences is the meaning of customs and habits.

Based on the above explanation and the analysis of the actual situation, it can be considered that any conscious behavior with a certain epidemic scope, a certain epidemic time or a certain epidemic area, whether official or folk, can be called custom, which is also the basic definition of custom.
