摘要
古代神话以女娲为"高 "，掌人间婚姻子嗣。女娲下令"会男女"，令女子于仲春二月生于社，以待男子"问名"。故本义为"女娲令"的令字，以及本义为二月初一的今字，皆从毫社取形；毫社下画坐待之女子，就是令字；毫社下画"一"，就是今字。女娲命令相会男女转圈追逐，转圈追逐的男女相对位置有变化，殷商人从不同相对位置的男女取形，分别造了化、尼、及三字。
In ancient Chinese mythology, Nuwa is the one in clarge of marriage and reproduction. Nuwa issues order to“let men and women meet”, demanding women to sit at she in February of mid - spring, waiting for men to“contact”,hence the character ling meaning“the order from Nuwa”, and the character jin,meaning the first day of February. Both characters take the shape from boshe, ling with a woman sitting under boshe, jin with a horizontal bar tinder it. Nuwa orders all the men and women pursue one another in circles, so their relative positions are changing. People of the Yin and Shang dynas- ties took the shapes from the on and women in different positions, and then made the three characters of hua, ni and ji.
