The word "double character" means a pair, harmony, symmetry and balance, which is a beautiful meaning. Secondly, the word "dual personality" also implies the meaning of both talent and appearance, indicating that a person has both talent and appearance, which is a kind of praise and wish. The word "dual personality" also means unparalleled in the world, expressing an outstanding and extraordinary symbolic significance.
The word "double" is widely used in people's names, which means that children can have a bright future and outstanding talents. For example, the word "Fu Lu Shuang Quan" means auspiciousness and smoothness, and is often used in names of people, pinning their wishes for their children's happiness and career success. Another example is the word "gifted scholar and beautiful woman", which means that a person is outstanding in talent and appearance, and it is a kind of praise and wish.
In addition to the names of people, double characters have special symbolic significance in Feng Shui. For example, in the layout of geomantic omen, a pair of auspicious words can be placed in front of the door, which means welcoming auspiciousness and exorcising evil spirits. In family dinners, banquets and other occasions, placing a pair of blessings can also add festive atmosphere. In traditional culture, dual personality also means a bright future, which means that a person can make great achievements in his future career.
The development of Chinese characters:
1, Oracle Bone Inscriptions and Jinwen
Oracle Bone Inscriptions appeared in the late Shang Dynasty, and the characters carved on tortoise shells or animal bones are the earliest mature characters in China. The bronze inscriptions that appeared in the late Shang Dynasty are the earliest bronze casting characters in ancient China. In this period, the shape of Chinese characters is relatively simple, generally square or rectangular, with straight and hard lines, and the complex stroke structure and font style have not yet developed.
2. Xiao Zhuan and Li Shu
After Qin Shihuang unified the six countries, in order to standardize the national characters, he promulgated the Qin Zhuan, namely Xiao Zhuan. The appearance of seal script marks the beginning of the transformation of Chinese characters from graphics to symbols. The font structure of Xiao Zhuan is standard, and the lines are round and smooth, but the writing speed is slow. In order to improve writing efficiency, folk calligraphers simplified seal script and formed official script. The appearance of official script completely changed the writing style and form of Chinese characters, and Chinese characters gradually evolved from graphics to symbols.
3. Regular script and simplified Chinese characters
Regular script is another milestone in the development history of Chinese characters. Regular script is the basic form of modern Chinese characters. The font structure is relatively standard, the stroke thickness is moderate, and the font is square and beautiful. Since the emergence of regular script, the writing style, typesetting style and reading style of Chinese characters have undergone fundamental changes. With the passage of time, in order to further improve writing efficiency, people began to simplify Chinese characters.
