Starting from "I" in 2000

After coming home from school, my son and I had dinner and read books together. I asked my son, "Have you finished reading the book I lent you?" The son said, "I haven't finished reading two books." One is "The Beauty of the Four Seasons", the content is boring. " So I picked up The Beauty of Four Seasons. It seems that after I opened it, I saw that each season has its own logic. Since beginning of spring, the closest festival to beginning of spring is the Spring Festival, which is "Year". To say "2008", we have to start with "Wo". The "Wo" in Oracle Bone Inscriptions is a mature rice grain shape. Cereals have stems, roots, leaves and drooping ears. The stems and leaves of rice grains are green at first, but they will turn yellow when they mature, and the "grain" in bronze inscriptions is more like a mature crop.

In the past, agricultural production technology was backward, and rice and grain were cooked once a year, so "grain" means "year". In Oracle Bone Inscriptions in 2000, there was a tattoo on the top, and a "person" with his face facing left and his arm tilted downward below. When the rice is ripe, he cuts it and takes it home. Rice and grain are harvested once a year. This festival is called "Year". On this day, crops are harvested and there is a harvest season.

It is interesting to know the origin of Chinese characters, and we have been studying the combination of Chinese character traceability and literacy, and integrating the theory of characters into teaching. This book combines the Oracle Bone Inscriptions of Chinese characters with solar terms, which is easy to understand and not too boring. I'm going to finish reading this book with my son, study with him and expose him to word theory.
