Character Evolution
Explore how each character evolved over 3000+ years of Chinese writing history.
In oracle bone script,「宇」combines「宀」(roof/building) and「于」, originally referring to the eaves of a house.
In bronze script,「宇」continues the structure of「宀」above and「于」below, and its meaning extended to refer to houses and dwellings.
In seal script,「宇」has「宀」above and「于」below. The 'Shuowen' explains: 'Yu means the edge of a roof.' It later extended to mean 'universe' — the six directions (up, down, and the four cardinal directions) are called 'yu,' while past and present are called 'zhou.'
From eaves of a house, to dwellings, to the entire cosmos —「宇」expanded to encompass all of space. Using「宇」in a name conveys a broad mind and extraordinary presence.
