In the oracle bone inscription, originally the bottom part of the character “\u8a00” was a tongue, and the horizontal stroke above it represented the sound made by the tongue. The original meaning of "\u8a00" was to talk. It’s a verb. Later, it referred to the words as a noun. Now it is not used as a single word in sentences.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
