Character Evolution
Explore how each character evolved over 3000+ years of Chinese writing history.
In oracle bone script,「天」depicts a standing human figure viewed from the front, with the head prominently emphasized — its original meaning is 'the top of the head.'
In bronze script,「天」began to extend from 'top of the head' to 'the sky,' with the head replaced by a horizontal stroke, forming the structure of「一」above「大」(great).
In seal script,「天」has「一」(one) above and「大」(great) below. The 'Shuowen' explains: 'Tian means the summit — the highest, with nothing above it.'
From the emphasized head of a human figure in oracle bone script, to the「一+大」composition after bronze script — 'the great One is Heaven' —「天」completed its elevation from a body part to the supreme cosmic entity.
