The Chinese Character, an Interpretable Chinese Culture
In the oracle bone script, the character looks like a child with a big head. The upper part is a child's head, and the lower part is the character "人"(ren，means person).
For the Chinese, it is a symbol of bliss to have many offspring. The image of a child with a big head often appears in folk paintings, not only because of his adorable image, but also a way of expressing blessings.
