Etymological evolution

"Qi (Jane)" is an ideographic character. Oracle Bone Inscriptions uses three horizontal lines to represent clouds, with the upper and lower horizontal lines being longer and the middle horizontal line being shorter, which is different from the "three-character" Oracle Bone Inscriptions. The inscriptions on bronze in the Western Zhou Dynasty followed the form of Oracle Bone Inscriptions. In the Spring and Autumn Period, in order to highlight the difference with the word "three", the upper part of the word "qi" was bent horizontally.

In the Warring States period, the lower part of the country was bent horizontally, and two variants appeared at the same time, which changed the word "qi" from big, qi sound and fire sound into pictophonetic characters. The characters in the Qin dynasty basically followed the writing style of "Qi" in the Warring States period. After the Han dynasty, the writing form has hardly changed. "Gas" was later extended to refer to all gases, such as air, fog, oxygen and water vapor.
