Inscription interpretation of truth
There is no word "Tao" in Oracle Bone Inscriptions, only Jin Wen has it. In the middle of its image, one holds one's head in one's hand or hides it directly in clothes (see figure), which means to cover one's head with clothes to show the road one must take to reach one's destination, but walking is like covering one's head with clothes and groping for progress. If it is not our desired destination, no one will take a strange road like being fooled. Covering your head is really closely related to walking. If we are suddenly blindfolded, the first feeling is that we can't move. Modern psychological research has proved that human eyes play an important role in maintaining body balance, and it is generally difficult to maintain body balance when walking blindfolded. Therefore, the word "Tao" in bronze inscriptions should refer to a strange road that must be taken to reach the destination. This may be the reason why the ancients only used the word "Tao" to express abstract concepts such as truth, law and law. For example, the way of governing the country, the way of being a man, the way of keeping in good health and so on.
