七 [qī] seven; (周易) young/unbreaking/unchanging 阳(陽) yáng (⚌)
One monosyllabic entry in The ABC Chinese-English Comprehensive Dictionary (namespace Ci):
►¹qī 七 {A} num. seven; 7 ◆b.f. each of seven seventh-day memorials after a death ‖ èr ∼ 二∼ second seventh-day memorial ◆cons. ∼ A bā B topsy-turvy AB ‖ ∼shàngbāxià ∼上八下 confused ‖ ∼dàbāxiǎo ∼大八小 of unequal size
The oldest graphs associated with 七 qī ‘seven’ look like modern 十 shí ‘ten’; and old 十 ‘ten’ graphs were a single vertical line 丨, or else a dot was added in the middle of 丨; the dot was eventually lengthened, giving shapes like modern 十; then, in order to distinguish 七 from 十, the central line of 七(𠀁) became curved.
The Shuōwén Seal form of 七(𠀁) qī ‘seven’, the number of the young/unchanging male ⚌ (周易), is said to combine a horizontal 阳(陽) yáng ‘male/bright’ line 一(⚊), with a curved vertical line representing its struggle to remain unchanged in the face of incipient/seductive 阴(陰) yīn ‘female/dark’ forces (⚋).
Compare: (周易) 七(𠀁) ‘young/unchanging male’ (⚊→⚊⇒⚌); 六 ‘old/changing female’ (⚋→⚊⇒⚍/⚎).
Compare: (周易) 九(𢌬) ‘old/changing male’ (⚊→⚋⇒⚎/⚍); 八 ‘young/unchanging female’ (⚋→⚋⇒⚏).
Compare: 丂 kǎo/qiǎo (巧); 屯 zhūn (䷂); 丨 gǔn/shù/sì.
Compare: 〇 ‘0’ (☷), 一 ‘1’ (☳), 二 ‘2’ (☵), 三 ‘3’ (☱), 四 ‘4’ (☶), 五 ‘5’ (☲), 六 ‘6’ (☴), 七 ‘7’ (☰), 八 ‘8’ (𝌓), 九 ‘9’ (𝌒), 十 ‘10’ (𝌐), ….
Note: The even digits 〇二四六八十 are all symmetrical; and after 一 and 三, odd digits 五七九 are asymmetrical.
HDZ: 七 : qī : (数词) 六加一的和; (文体名) 七体: 骚赋的一种 (骚体); 人死后, 每七天一祭, 至四十九日为止 (满七); 人日, 农历正月初七; (姓)
