What does the exam mean?

Kao (pinyin: KO) is a first-class word (commonly used word) in the General Standard of Chinese. In Oracle Bone Inscriptions and Jin Wenzhong, Kaohe is always the same word, both of which are in the shape of an old man with a stick.

Textual research, as the meaning of old age, lasted from Shang Dynasty to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. In the pre-Qin period, "Kao" was often used to address father, which could refer to the living or the dead.

"Kao" in modern Chinese is mostly used for examination and assessment, and it also means research and deduction. These are all borrowed meanings, which have nothing to do with the original meaning of the exam. Analyzing its structure, Kao Hua can be divided into _, _ (k m 4 o) tones.

The word "_" can be regarded as an evolution from crutches for the elderly; Kao and Niu (pronounced like K in modern Chinese) are both hidden parts and phonetic symbols; And "_" comes from "old" which omits "bi".

It can be seen from the word-making track of this word that when the word with the same origin as "Lao" is recorded in the language, the same ideographic element is taken and the phonetic symbol "_" is added. From the structure of glyphs, pronunciation to the meaning of words, we can trace back to the homologous relationship between them, which is the ingenuity of word creation.
