Etymological evolution: According to the existing literature, the word "soul" has not been seen in Jin Jia's inscriptions. The "soul" is composed of "ghost" and "cloud", and the early glyph is not fixed. Small seal script, left "cloud", right "ghost"; Some of the glyphs of official script are right "clouds" and left "ghosts", but most of them are the same as Xiao Zhuan. The literature in the Warring States period used the word soul, and there must have been the word soul at that time, which was not found in the bronze inscriptions and documents in the Western Zhou Dynasty. Their writing should have been produced during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
