Historical forms of the character
Shang Shuowen Jiezi (compiled in Han)
Oracle bone script Small seal script

Pictogram of a male pig with the penis detached from his body, thus indicating a castrated male pig. See also the original version on oracle bones of .

The interpretation of a shackled pig derives from the stylization of the character and belongs to folk etymology. Furthermore, Showen Jiezi interprets the character as a pig with a small foot at the bottom, indicating a pig tripping over itself; however, this interpretation is not linked to the original appearence of the character on oracle bones.
