Chinese character culture, deep charm. The evolution of the glyph and the change of the pronunciation of the characters are all different.

Today we look at the word "picking", what does it mean, how should it be read, here is a brief introduction.
1. The evolution of the glyph of "撷".
"撷" is a variant of "襭". "襭" is composed of two parts: next to the word "clothes" and "頡". The oracle bone glyph of the "clothes" resembles a tunic with the upper character "ren" indicating the collar and the lower sides opening to resemble sleeves. The golden text has not changed much, and the glyphs are regular. The upper part of the small seal font resembles a dot and an arc, and the lower part is more compact. Later, it was simplified again and became the italic version of the word "clothes".
The character "頡" is composed of "auspicious" and "頁", and the oracle bone glyph of "auspicious" resembles a solemn display of cutting-edge items on the shrine's seat, indicating "auspicious". Later, the upper part of the Jin Wen period became "earth", and the lower part resembled the mouth "mouth". When the upper part of the small seal becomes "Shi", the lower part becomes "mouth", and after simplifying again, the italic version of the word "Ji" appears. The oracle bone glyph of "頁" resembles a seated side humanoid, highlighting the human head, which originally means "head", and later gradually simplified to become the character "page".
The original meaning refers to pinning the hem of the clothes to the belt and making it into a temporary bag to carry things, and later "clothes" became "hands", that is, "picking", which means picking or picking up things on the ground by hand.
