The Evolution of Chinese Characters - From Picture to Writing - 兔 Rabbit

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Ubch6WKCVGs The video speaks about the shocking revelation that pictographic Chinese characters are not really pictographic, and this fact is obvious in the very early oracle bone variants of the character 兔 or even 免 for that matter. This video teaches you how to write the Chinese character 兔. It also teaches you about the Chinese radical 儿 that has no bearing on the meaning of both 兔 and 免, the two characters looking eerily similar, so much so that one is left wondering how can the similarity be explained through the written evolution the two characters that are supposedly pictographic. 兔 is a pictographic representation of a rabbit, whereas 免, meaning to avoid, was originally a pictographic representation of a ceremonial hat. So in this video we will se the evolutionary stages of 兔 from oracle bone script through 篆字, all the way to the modern character.
