►¹sì* 四 {A} num. four; 4 ◆cons. ∼ A ¹bā B used with two similar terms A and B to indicate combination ‖ ∼ xiāng bā ²zhèn ∼乡八镇 all the towns and villages
The Shuōwén Seal form of 四 sì ‘four’ is said to depict the division of an object into four quarters (the quartering of something); it combines 囗 wéi ‘surround’ (representing four city walls, one at each of the fours quarters), and 八 bā ‘divide/even’ (⚋); formerly also wr. 𠃢(𦉭), 亖, and later 肆(𨽸).
Old graphs associated with 四(𠃢𦉭) sì ‘four’ are best understood in relation to 六 liù ‘six’, in which the lower component is also 八 bā ‘divide/eight’ (⚋), cf. 六.
Compare: 𠃢(𦉭) sì ‘four’; 罒(目𡇡) mù ‘eye’; 艮(𥃩) gèn (䷳☶); 囟(𦥓𠚁) xìn (cf. 䏤 sì).
Compare: 囟(𦥓𠚁) xìn (cf. 䏤 sì); 囧 jiǒng; 冋(冂) jiōng; 囱/囪(𡆧) cōng/chuāng; 凶 xiōng.
Compare: 田 tián; 甲(𠇚𫭂) jiǎ; 匹 pǐ; 𦣻 shǒu; 𦣻(百) bǎi; 自(𦣹𦣼𪞶白) zì.
“Four. Numerical sign. Even number, which is easily divided into two halves. The old form graphically represents the division of 四 into halves” —Wieger.
Compare: 四 sì ‘four’; 似 sì ‘like/similar’; 巳 sì ‘fetus/embryo’.
Compare: 兕(𠒅𤉡) sì ‘rhinoceros’; 𠒂(𠑹), as in 兜.
HDZ: 四 : sì : (数词) 三加一的和; 工尺谱记音符号之一, 表示音阶上的一级; (古) 駟: 一车四马 (cf. 牭); (姓)
HDC: 四分 : 分为四份; 向四方散开; 四分历; (佛教) 相分、见分、自证分、证自证分
