2、 Comparison of the Origin of the Characters "Jing" and "동물 (ING)"

Explored the origin, semantics, and cultural similarities of the Chinese character "Jing" and the Korean character "동물 (정)". The Chinese character "well" originated from the pictographic description of the square well railing structure by ancient people, and its shape remains basically unchanged, reflecting the pictographic characteristics of water wells. The Korean word "물" is composed of the words "움 (pit)" and "물 (water)", and has undergone an evolution from "움믈" to "물", reflecting the characteristics of water wells. There are differences between the two in terms of nature, formation time, and method. The Chinese character "Jing" is a ideographic independent character, while "동물" is a phonetic compound word. In addition, the pronunciation of "물" in Korean has similarities with words that represent water or rivers in Mongolian, Manchu, and Japanese, and may have the same origin.

In depth exploration was conducted on the reference words and idiomatic expressions of the Chinese character "Jing" and the Korean character "동물 (정)", revealing their similarities and differences in language and culture. The Chinese character "well" has given rise to a rich range of parametric vocabulary, mainly revolving around its shape and properties, such as "well rope" and "well water".
