The origin of Tian Zi

The word "Tian" evolved from Oracle Bone Inscriptions: the word "Tian" in Oracle Bone Inscriptions and Jinwen is a villain who focuses on drawing human heads. Its original meaning is "head" and later it is extended to "heaven" (because both are supreme). The meaning of "head" has long since disappeared, but its shadow can still be found in one word, that is "Xingtian", which means to be beheaded.
