慈母手中线,游子身上衣

The thread in a loving mother's hand becomes the garments on her wandering child's back

The needle and thread in a mother's hand become the clothes her traveling child wears — the deepest love is a mother's love.

两情若是久长时,又岂在朝朝暮暮

If love between two souls endures, why need they be together morning and night

If two hearts share an enduring love, what does it matter if they cannot be together day and night — the timeless truth of love.

Character Evolution

Explore how each character evolved over 3000+ years of Chinese writing history.

love, affection, cherish/ ài
Oracle Bone Script (甲骨文)~1600 BCE

No mature form of「爱」exists in oracle bone script. A prototypical form first appears in bronze script.

Bronze Script (金文)~1046 BCE

In bronze script,「爱」combines「心」(heart) and「夂」(walking), meaning action and giving that springs from the heart.

Seal Script (小篆)~221 BCE

In seal script,「爱」has「𢖻」(hands) above,「心」(heart) in the middle, and「夊」(feet) below — hands cradling a bare heart and delivering it to another person, the most sincere interpretation of love. The 'Shuowen' explains: 'Ai means kindness and grace.'

Evolution Summary

The evolution of「爱」tells the essence of love: acting from the heart. From the「心+夂」of bronze script, to the 'hands cradling a heart' of seal script, to the「友+心」(friend+heart) of simplified Chinese, every form expresses the most genuine emotion between people.

fire, flame, passion/ huǒ
Oracle Bone Script (甲骨文)~1600 BCE

In oracle bone script,「火」resembles burning flames — the base is a pile of firewood, and above it are flickering tongues of fire.

Bronze Script (金文)~1046 BCE

In bronze script, the flame image of「火」became more streamlined, emphasizing the upward-reaching fire tongues.

Seal Script (小篆)~221 BCE

In seal script,「火」resembles flames spreading upward and to both sides. The 'Shuowen' explains: 'Huo means to burn — the element of the south.'

Evolution Summary

From the blazing flame image of oracle bone script, to the simplified form of today — no matter how the shape has changed, the essence of warmth, brightness, and upward energy endures throughout.
