A complete picture of the pictophonetic characters is as follows:
The pictophonetic characters have these eight forms: left phonogram and right phonogram: material, partial, copper, frozen, zheng, qi, yang; Right shape and left tone: attack, neck, cut, ladle, put, parrot; upper shape and lower tone: tube, dew, dad, fang, ya, xiao, boundary, character, flower, mist; lower shape and upper tone: frame, case , Ci, axe, tribute, ointment, stool, reward; external appearance and internal sounds: solid, sick, court, valve, garden, plaque, wrap, heart, house; internal external sounds: muffled, asking, smelling, braiding, arguing; The shape is in one corner: cutting, carrying, planting; the sound is in one corner: aldehyde, channel, etc.
There are various ways of combining the form and phonetic characters of pictophonetic characters: some have the form on the left and the phonetic on the right; some have the form on the right and the phonetic on the left; The shape parameter is on top and the voice parameter is on the bottom; some shape parameters are on the bottom and the voice parameter is on the top; some shape parameters are on the outside and the voice parameter is on the inside, or the shape parameter is on the inside and the voice parameter is on the outside.

In addition to the eight main forms mentioned above, pictophonetic characters also have some special structural forms, which should also be noted. These special structural forms mainly include the following. Situation:
1. Due to the evolution of glyphs and the need for balance in font structure, some glyphs and phonetic verbs are separated. Like "flag", like heart, the sound from the clothes is "street", from the sound of "Xing Gui" is mourning, from the sound of "clothes" is the sound of "Heng", from the sound of "Xing Xing". You must pay attention when analyzing the shape of such pictophonetic characters.
2. In order to balance the structure of the glyphs, some glyphs and sound glyphs are in a corner. Ruying, from the sound of grain; Xiu, from the sound of meat; Lai, from the sound of shellfish; Ting, from the sound of Ren.
3. Due to the evolution of Chinese character shapes, in modern regular script Chinese characters, the shape and phonetic characters of some pictophonetic characters have been deformed, making it difficult to distinguish them based on the glyphs alone. Those with deformed characters beside the shape, such as the word "star", developed from the sound of "jing" and "生" to regular script, and the province of "jing" beside the shape became "日".
Another example is "Xiao", which comes from the sound of "flesh" and "small". In regular script, the shape of "肉" next to the shape has been confused with the "月" of "月". The deformation of the side sounds, such as "geng", comes from the "洴", "bing" sounds, the word "年" comes from the "禾", "千" sounds, the word "ji" comes from the "心", "ji" sounds. If you don't understand the writing method of Xiaozhuan and ancient Chinese characters, it is difficult to distinguish the physical structure of these pictophonetic characters after the official transformation.
