The origin of the word "originator" People like to call the founder "originator". To explain the "originator", we must first start with the word "nose". The original word of "nose" is "self". When the word "Zi" in Oracle Bone Inscriptions and Jin Wen looks like a human nose, the pronunciation of "Zi" and "Nose" is the same. Xu Shen said in Shuo Wen Jie Zi: "Zi, read like a nose." "Zi" is generally used as the first person pronoun in ancient Chinese, that is, it is interpreted as oneself. Since the word "zi" has become a personal pronoun, which word should be used to write "nose"? So he created a pictophonetic character, added a phonetic symbol "Mo" under the word "Zi", and a new word "nose" appeared. From then on, "Zi" and "Nose" had different division of labor. The original meaning of "self" is "nose", and people often point to their noses when talking about themselves. It can also be extended to the prepositions "cong" and "zi" and then to the verb "yes". There is a saying in Shuowen that "the first child is now the nose". The first son is called "nose", and the word "nose" here means "first", "first" or "beginning". Therefore, the earliest ancestors and founders were called "the originator".
