The origin and meaning of herringbone pattern
The herringbone originated from Oracle Bone Inscriptions, like a person standing on the side. Its meaning is a life that can make and use tools to work, and can think and communicate with language.

The Chinese character "Ren" has not changed in form and meaning since ancient times, and the character "Ren" in regular script from Oracle Bone Inscriptions to today is pictographic. For thousands of years, the word "person" has changed from the earliest figure to a stroke. The strokes of the character "Ren" in regular script are more stable and symmetrical, which makes the profile of Oracle Bone Inscriptions, bronze inscriptions and seal script more like the image of people walking.

The original meaning of "man" is man, which is a noun. It refers to a higher animal that evolved from apes and can make and use tools for labor. When the ancients created the word "human", they put special emphasis on hands and feet. The reason why "people" are different from animals is precisely because people can make tools with their own hands. In addition, because people can walk upright, the ancients used people standing on the side as the shape of the word when creating the word "people".
