The possibility of spillage is not ruled out. The medical staff will be busy again for a while. We believe that under the government's organization, it is certain to defeat the attack of the virus, and we like China!
for this purpose today I will explain the word "Xian".
From Baidu Encyclopedia
The character "仙" is listed in the book " Shuowen Jiezi". It shows that Qin Chao has this character before, but it is not currently Only found evidence.
The "Xian" character is a small seal on the left side, a left-facing figure standing on the left, a kneeling figure on the lower right side, and two hands one sending and one pulling to move something upward. The structure of the font is like this, what is the image of the character?
The key to understanding the image of this word is to know what the removed symbol represents. Readers, try to think about it.

Can this character be associated with a child fontanelle ?
From Baidu Encyclopedia
This is the source of fontanel. The shape of the small seal character is very similar to the symbols in the fairy character.
The icon of fontanelle can represent the human brain and thought. A kneeling person is equivalent to a thinking person but not taking actual action. Therefore, the characters on the right side of the fairy character mean: a person who is quiet but thinking , Removed his thoughts or soul from the body under the combined action of internal and external factors.
In the fairy character, the kneeling person represents the kan hexagram image, here kan hexagram is also thought,That is, the soul in the body is the image of the soul in the body. So the image of removing the mind and soul from the upper part comes from the image contained by the kneeling person.
The left-facing herringbone on the left represents the image of Qian hexagram, which can refer to a real person or the god of heaven. Therefore, the whole glyph of Xianzi has the following two images:
1, the meaning of a person's soul going out of the body in a quiet place, and following another person to act (also includes the meaning of missing someone you love very much).
2, can also be a person's soul out of the body, wandering with the gods of the emperor. This is the actual phenomenon of human death, so the image of fairy characters is generally unlucky in the world.
The fairy character further evolved. The font on the right became a combination of the three characters "West, Da, and Si". It was a variation of kneeling people, and most of it was a variation of raising both hands, and the west was . Duigua The image character means death, so the three-character combination has the image of death of a big figure, which is the same as the image of the character on the right side of the Xiaozhuan glyph.
In the final evolution of the combination of the glyph man and the mountain, the mountain is the object image of the gen hexagram image, which can represent other images of the gen hexagram. The hexagram Gen has the image of reaching the end of the yang or the end of the yin, which is equivalent to the death of a person in life, so a mountain character is the same as the image of the characters on the right side of the previous glyphs, so it can be simplified into the character "Xian". Today it is often said that people die as climbing mountains.
So the basic image of the word "Xian" is the meaning of a dead soul to walk with God. The dead material body is left behind, but the spirit is always there. Together with , it is light and comfortable. Therefore, for people who believe in religion, death can be called immortality, because they think that they have given their own spirit to the supreme religious lord, God, and finally their souls will be with the God of God’s salvation. For example, Catholicism believes in God, Islam believes in Allah, Buddhism believes in Amitabha, Taoism believes in Sanqing or Jade Emperor and so on.
is light and elegant from the spirit, and extension also refers to the light and natural appearance of a woman or other person.
Xianzi is a Chinese creation, so it is closely related to the local religion Taoism. Other religions basically have different terms for the death of people with Taoism.
This post only discusses the image of "Xian" and does not involve the right and wrong of other religious concepts!
