First, etymological analysis

Home, knowledge and pictophonetic characters. In Oracle Bone Inscriptions of Shang Dynasty, "home" was written in two ways. One is that the tapir in "dog" (the hieroglyphic of the house) is male (the abdomen has prominent male genitalia), and the other is a simpler writing method, which does not emphasize gender, and the tapir that highlights male genitalia should be the hieroglyphic of "dog". Tapirs with weak tonality have very economical shapes.

In Zhou Jin's works, the word "home" is mainly written in a tone-free way, which evolved from this way in later generations. In Oracle Bone Inscriptions of Shang Dynasty, most of the tapirs in "home" drew the outline of pigs, and some only drew the lines of pigs. The word "home" in Zhou Jin's writings evolved from this simple word.

In Oracle Bone Inscriptions, there appeared the writing methods of omitting strokes such as tapir's front hoof, but the inscriptions on bronze in Zhou Dynasty evolved from Oracle Bone Inscriptions's complete writing method. In addition, in Zhou Jin's calligraphy, the strokes of pig's hind hoof and pig's tail are connected, which is divided into two strokes in the official script of the Western Han Dynasty and three strokes in the official script of the Eastern Han Dynasty, which makes writing more convenient.
