Shell bone, big seal, small seal, clerical, Song style

 


Pinyin of character Tooth: Yi1


Explanation

 

Shell Bone Script: The mouth of human, the four teeth. The teeth are omitted, and it is impossible to draw all the teeth.

 

Big Seal: The top is character Stop, and the bottom is the teeth, but not the teeth of people, and the second is the teeth of animals such as mice. The "Stop" above indicates that the upper gum is basically not motionless, and the lower gum is moving. When chewing, the upper gums of the human teeth are immobile or rarely moved.

 

Small Seal Script: The top is character Stop, and the bottom is the tooth, like a human tooth. The bottom box has four similar to wave which are teeth, two on top are upper teeth, two on bottom are bottom teeth, separated by a line.

 

Clerical Script: The top is character Stop, the four similar to character Person in box are teeth.

 

Simplifying the Song Typeface: the top is character Stop, and there is only one character "Person" in box below, that is, only one tooth, which is simplified.
