The Shuōwén Seal form of 智 | The Shuōwén Seal form of 智(𥏼) zhì ‘experience/intelligence/wisdom’ (deep/accumulated knowledge of the meaning of words) combines 白(𪞶𦣹自) zì ‘nose/self’ (personal experience), with 于(亏) yú (in which 丂 as in 巧 qiǎo ‘clever/skill’, 考 kǎo ‘consider’, 可 kě ‘can/may’, representing 气 qì ‘breath/vitality/ability’), and 知() zhī ‘know/knowledge’ (phonosemantic); formerly wr. 𥏾() in which the middle component is 𦣞(𦣝) yí ‘jaws/chin’ (as in 頤 ䷚), instead of 口 kǒu ‘mouth’ (DYC); in the component 知() the skilled archer draws the 矢() shǐ ‘arrow’ to his nose/cheek; in old texts 智/知 were often used interchangeably (DYC). | ||
Note: In the old form | Note: In the old form of 智(𥏼) the bottom-central component is 白(𪞶𦣹自) zì ‘nose/self’ (know thyself), not 白 bái ‘bright white’; in the modern form 智 the old 白/自 comp. becomes 日 rì ‘sun/light’ (⚊ ‘light/knowledge’, vs. ⚋ ‘dark/ignorance’), or perhaps 曰() yuē ‘say/speak/state’ (knowing the meaning of words); for the use of 日 in the later form 智, cf. 的(旳) dì ‘(bright/white bull's-eye) target’; the old form 𥏼() of 智 is like the old the form 𥏴() of 疾, differing in only 白(𪞶) zì (自) vs. 𠥻() jí (疾); the 矢 ‘arrow’ comp. of 知() is trad. assoc. with 疾 (XK); for the old parts like 吁(𠮱), cf. 可(), 号(), 號(). | ||
Compare: 智 zhì (n.) ‘wisdom’ (tone 4), vs. 知 zhī (v.) ‘know’ (tone 1); in modern usage the tones are different (as in MC, cf. 知), but 智/知 were often used interchangeably in old texts (DYC); the old 白(𪞶𦣹自) zì ‘nose/self’ component of 智(𥏼) may have been intended to specify the nominal form/meaning 智, vs. verbal 知; cf. 𤾊(). | |||
Compare: 智 zhì ‘wisdom’ (tone 4) vs. 知 zhī ‘know’ (tone 1); in modern usage the tones are different, but | Older graphs associated with 智(𥏼) seem to have 甘(𤮺) gān ‘sweet/savor’ below (instead of 白/日; 毛公鼎). | ||
Compare: 旨(𠤔) zhǐ ‘taste (with the finger); point/intend’ ← MC /tɕieiʔ/ (SBGY), OC /kjijʔ/ (Baxter); 指() ‘finger/point’, 恉() ‘intention’. | |||
