Grease is injected into the hub

Behavior: Etymological evolution.

Explain the words. by ".yóu, pictogram refers to the word thing, and the word 'by' was first seen in the oracle bone inscription of the Shang Dynasty. The word 'by' in the oracle bone inscription is composed of 'kou' and 'circular symbol', which is a pictogram depiction of the ancient Shang people refueling the wheel hub mouth, and injecting grease into the hub mouth can lubricate the contact surface between the wheel hub and the axle to reduce friction. The Western Zhou Dynasty Jinwen inherited the Shang Dynasty oracle bone inscription, Chu Jian slightly changed, but retained the main elements, the Eastern Han Dynasty "Shuowen" small seal did not include this word, the two Han Dynasty Lishu square, basically the same as today, but can no longer be recognized. The original meaning of the word:(Will) grease is injected into the hub, which is extended to 'grease', which is inherited by the later word 'oil';The purpose of grease lubrication of the wheel port is to make the vehicle run smoothly or faster, and by extension, it is 'way, method, way', such as reason and reason; Grease lubricates the hub to connect the hub to the axle and by extension, 'connection', as in the case of ...and...., since...., from...., due to etc.

Remarks:At present, the earliest document that records the addition of grease to wheels is the "Book of Songs", "The Book of Songs, National Style, Wind and Spring Water" (excerpt): "Stay in the dry, eat in the words." Carrying grease and carrying a car. It is not harmful to be harmful. The translation of this paragraph is roughly as follows: "Stay in dry land, eat in the land of words." Greased and strengthened the wheels, he turned around and began to travel. galloping to the country, I don't care if there will be any harm. ”

舝, sound jurisdiction, but not "轄" (many "Book of Songs" commentaries write this word as "轄", but the creator of "轄" understands the original meaning of the word "harm", so he created this word.) )。The Eastern Han Dynasty "Shuowen" small seal included this character, "舝" is a post-made pictograph, this is a device similar to the Luban lock, composed of two L-shaped objects, the two L-shaped objects are inserted into the "harm" (the cover that fixes the axle at the outer end of the axle) in a horizontal cross way, in order to strengthen the wheel, now collectively referred to as "jurisdiction, 軎". Xu Shen thinks that '舝' is the same as '轄', which means that he does not understand 'harm', so how can he talk about '轄'. Because the creator of the word "舝" did not know "harm", his life age was later than the middle and late Spring and Autumn Period, which also shows that the creation time of the word "舝" was later than the middle and late Spring and Autumn Period, but earlier than the Eastern Han Dynasty.

The Book of Songs was written in the middle of the Spring and Autumn Period at the latest, and people in the middle and late Spring and Autumn Period knew that the word "harm" had the meaning of "preventing". Combined with the character '舝' used in the text, it is speculated that the writing time of "The Book of Songs, National Style, Shaofeng and Spring Water" is about the middle of the Spring and Autumn Period. But this is not the earliest record of grease the wheel hub, knowing that humans are not the only creatures in nature who use tools. Even if there is no writing, it does not delay any communication between living beings, and the use of tools to improve efficiency is a phenomenon unique to living beings. From the first log rolling to drive the movement of objects to the relatively formed chariots of the Shang Dynasty, the history of the use of chariots is far older than writing.

The infusion of wheels with animal fat like this would not have been recorded in the oracle bones, but the complex structure of the Shang Dynasty car can already be made up. 'You' is as old as the word 'Gu', and both are related to the chariot, and some characters with few strokes like this gradually extended the meaning of other words in the late Shang period.

The word 'by' in oracle bones is mostly used as the meaning of "method, method", such as "Collection" 2274 Zheng: "Yixi (have) disease, 隹 (have) by." ", Collection 13656 positive: "There is a disease, a (have) by." And so on. It can also be used as a personal name, such as "Collection" 5898: "Execution." It can also be used as a place name, such as "Collection" 20589: "By Yi." ”。

Jin Wen of the Western Zhou Dynasty is mostly used as a personal name, such as by Cha Lu Ding (integrated 1978): "By Cha (作) Lu Zhen (Ding)." "Bo Gong (Integration 5356): "You Bo said: July. And so on.

The Warring States Chu Jian can be used as the meaning of "cause, reason, reason", such as "Tsinghua Jane Sacrifice Gong" Jane 15: "旣沁 (salty), is (have) to perform the sect, not (Pi) Yu (but) the reason for civil and military." Translation: "If this is the case, you can be blessed by the clan, all because of the protection of King Wen and King Wu." ”。It can also be used as "method, method, way" meaning, that is, the word "Di", "Tsinghua Jane Yi Golden Silk" Jane: "Becoming a king from a young age." ”。Shangbo Bamboo Jane Tie Yi "Jian 15: "Lu type (punishment): 'The reason for the broadcast type (punishment) (Di)." 'Shangshu Lu Xing": "What is the prison today, is it not Shi Boyi's punishment? Zheng Xuan's note: "Yan should look at the way of Boyi's punishment and the law." "The method of implementing criminal law" is the method of enforcing criminal law.
