Some people think that the original meaning of Shang is the clan name of Yin people. The upper part of Shang characters is the same as the upper part of Oracle Bone Inscriptions Phoenix characters, which is the bird's crown of Phoenix and regarded as the representative of Phoenix in Shang characters. Yin people worship phoenix, so the word called by the family is made of phoenix. The "_" below is like a cave, symbolizing the residence of the Yin people. Some people think that the original meaning of "Shang" is "Shang Xing", which is the heart of 28 huts, also known as "Chen Xing" and "Big Mars". It is the star god worshipped by Yin people. The Shang Dynasty characters in Oracle Bone Inscriptions are like a torch on a pedestal. When the Yin people offered sacrifices to Mars, it was used as a symbol of Mars. In some business words, there are also two or four stars dotted, which is particularly obvious. Yin people worshipped Shang Xing, so they took Shang Xing as their family name, and later called it Chao.
Still in the name of injury, brothers are mutually disabled, so it is called Shang. The five tones of the ancient court Shang Dynasty matched the four seasons, and the Shang Dynasty matched the autumn. Autumn has come, and the plants have withered. In the eyes of the ancients, the withering of plants was the result of god's killing. The residual meaning of Shang is in harmony with everything in autumn, so the sound of Shang is in harmony with autumn. Shang Yin takes sadness as the keynote. Huainanzi Daoying: "Ning Qi dined under an ox cart, and when he saw Huan Gong, he wailed." "Singing" means elegy. Tao Dong Yuanming's "Jing Ke Fu": "Shang Yin is even more runny, and he plays a strong man." This is all a sign of sadness. From the sad meaning of business, we can also know that the word business means that punishment is severe.
Because "Shang" is homophonic with "autumn", people use "Shang" to refer to autumn. Autumn wind was called "business wind" in ancient times. Call the autumn sound "Shang Sheng". How does the commercial meaning of a merchant come into being? Xu Zhongshu pointed out in the article "A Study of Yin Zhou Culture": "After the death of Yin, the land of merchants was seized by Zhou people, so they turned to merchants, and the names of merchants should be derived from this. "In ancient times, most businesses used barter. Barter had to evaluate the value of goods on both sides, so business had the meaning of estimation and discussion.
