1. Explanation of the word "gu":
Gu: (Pinyin: gǔ, yù), a first-level standard Chinese character. "Valley" first appeared in oracle bone inscriptions in the Shang Dynasty. It is a knowing character. The upper part of the ancient character looks like water flowing out, and the lower part looks like a path or waterway between two mountains. The original meaning of "Valley" refers to a valley, which is a long and narrow area or waterway between two mountains with an outlet. It is difficult to walk in the valley, so it is also compared to a dilemma, such as: a dilemma.
2. The origin of the word "gu":
The meaning of "gu" can be divided into two categories: "valley" and "grain", and the two words come from two different characters.
The "valley" of the valley has two overlapping characters in the upper part and an opening below. The two overlapping "eights" resemble the shape of water flow. There is little or no water in the valley, so the long painting in the middle of the word "water" is omitted, and the four small paintings on both sides are retained to represent small streams. Mouth means the mouth of the valley. The shape of the gold inscriptions is the same as that of oracle bone inscriptions. The shape of the small seal script follows the oracle bone script, and the lower eight characters are deformed. The Chinese official glyphs follow the Qin seal script, and the glyphs are square.
Some official scripts write the following "eight" as a horizontal line; regular script writes it as "人". Judging from the oracle bone inscriptions, the original meaning of "valley" is the long and narrow area with an exit between two mountains.
Most of the narrow valleys between the two mountains have water flowing, so they are used as mountain streams or tributaries of rivers. For example, Chapter 66 of the Tao Te Ching: "The reason why the river and sea can be regarded as the king of hundreds of valleys is because they are good at discharging them." Although there is small water in the valley, boats cannot sail. The word "gu" is juxtaposed with the word "chuan", which refers to the tributaries of large rivers.
