Write “班”(class) in Chinese character

字形：

古体“班”字，是刀在两玉之间，表示用刀把玉石分开，这就是“班”的本义。“班”作为动词有“分开”的   意思，后来引申出名词和量词的概念，用来指分开后的人群。过去“班”是军队里的一个编制，现在把   学校的学生分开也叫做“班”，把工人分开也叫做“班”，意思是为了工作或学习等目的而编成的组织。

The ancient form of the character "班" was like a knife between two pieces of jade, indicating to separate a jade with a knife. The original meaning of the verb "班" was "to separate". Later it became a noun and measure word, meaning a group of people. "班" used to refer to a military unit "squad", and now students at school are also divided into "班" (meaning "class"). Separated workers are also called "班", which means "shift". So the current meaning of the character "班" is an organization of people for the purpose of work or study.
