Character Evolution

In oracle bone script,「玉」depicts three jade discs strung together on a cord — a pictograph.
In bronze script, the form of strung jade in「玉」became more regularized, with the cord knots removed.
In seal script,「玉」resembles three jade pieces linked together. The 'Shuowen' explains: 'Yu is the most beautiful of stones.'
