Character Evolution

In oracle bone script,「好」combines「女」(woman) and「子」(child) — a woman with a child is a good thing. The 'Shuowen' states: 'Hao means beautiful.' In the matriarchal era of remote antiquity, childbirth was the most wonderful event.
In bronze script,「好」maintains the「女+子」structure, with some variants placing the woman component on the left side.
In seal script,「好」has「女」on the left and「子」on the right — a woman cradling an infant, the most beautiful scene in the world. The 'Shuowen' explains: 'Hao means beautiful.'
From the heartwarming image of a woman and child to the universal word for all things good —「好」is one of the warmest characters in the Chinese writing system.
