Etymology
Pictogram (象形) – different theories exist: * the head of a nail. The derivative 釘 is now used to represent this sense. This interpretation was formulated by Liu Xinyuan (劉心源), Lin Yiguang (林義光), and Wu Qichang (吳其昌). * a head. The derivative 天 and 頂 is now used to represent this sense. Characters like 元 contain it as a semantic component. This is interpretation was formulated by Gao Hongjin (高鴻縉) and could be linked to the first interpretation ("head of a nail"). * a city wall. In ancient China, city walls were square-shaped. The derivative 成 and later 城 is now used to represent this sense. The character 正／征 contains it as a semantic component (but in 邑, the top component is 囗, not 丁). This interpretation was formulated by He Linyi (何琳儀). * Pictogram of the Great Square of Pegasus, related to 定 and 正 (David W. Pankenier). See also 旦.
