“女”字是一个惟妙惟肖的象形字。甲骨文的“女”字像一个女子两手交叉,弯曲两腿,跪坐在那里。金文字形基本上与甲骨文相同,只是上面多了一条横线,表示发簪之类的装饰品。到了隶书,“女”字已经定型,象形的意味大大减少。 “Female ” is a vivid pictograph. Oracle’s “Female” words cross like a woman’s hands, bending his legs, kneeling there. Gold lettering basically the same as Oracle, but more than a horizontal line above, said the hairpin and the like decorations. To the official script, “Female ” has been stereotyped, the pictographic means greatly reduced.
