Modern archaeological research shows that Chinese characters originated about 5000 years ago. The earliest word "Wang" was "Da" with a horizontal line, the horizontal line was the ground, and "Da" was an adult. The Oracle Bone Inscriptions shape of "Da" is humanoid, but its main meaning is Da. Therefore, the meaning of the word "big" is not physical or physical, but internal and moral, that is, great virtue. Virtuous people are kings, such as Yao, Shun and Yu, and the throne is only passed on to the virtuous people in the world. This is the abdication system.

Yu's son Qi established the Xia Dynasty, the family world became a private world, and the abdication system became a hereditary system. In order to stabilize the rule of Xia dynasty, the word "Wang" evolved into a horizontal line above it, and the horizontal line above it was a sky and a ghost.

In the late Shang Dynasty and early Zhou Dynasty, people's wisdom was gradually expanding and people's hearts were slipping. It is not enough to rely solely on morality and ghosts and gods. Still have to "operate the knife" to suffer. Anyone who refuses to accept it will use a big axe. So whoever has mastered the axe has supreme power and is the king. At this time, the word "Wang" is actually an axe, a very big axe, and the horizontal line below the word "Wang" is a long axe blade.

From the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the Qin and Han Dynasties, people-oriented consciousness gradually emerged. Confucius said: You belong to the world. It means: the will of the people makes the world king. At this point, the evolution of the word "Wang" is basically stereotyped, only the evolution of writing art.
