People like to call the founder "the originator". To explain the "originator", we must first start with the word "nose". The original word of "nose" is "self". When the word "Zi" in Oracle Bone Inscriptions and Jin Wen looks like a human nose, the pronunciation of "Zi" and "Nose" is the same. Xu Shen said in Shuo Wen Jie Zi: "Zi, read like a nose." "Zi" is generally used as the first person pronoun in ancient Chinese, that is, it is interpreted as oneself. Since the word "zi" has become a personal pronoun, which word should be used to write "nose"? So he created a pictophonetic character, added a phonetic symbol "Mo" under the word "Zi", and a new word "nose" appeared. From then on, "Zi" and "Nose" had different division of labor. The original meaning of "self" is "nose", and people often point to their noses when talking about themselves. It can also be extended to the prepositions "cong" and "zi" and then to the verb "yes". There is a saying in Shuowen that "the first child is now the nose". The first son is called "nose", and the word "nose" here means "first", "first" or "beginning". Therefore, the earliest ancestors and founders were called "the originator".
The original word of the word "nose" is "self". Xu Shen in the Eastern Han Dynasty said in Shuowen: "Self, the nose is also like a trunk." In other words, "Zi" is an pictograph, and its original meaning refers to the nose. Because people often point to their noses when talking about themselves, the meaning of zi has gradually evolved into the interpretation of the first-person pronouns "I" and "Zi", and further extended the meanings of prepositions "Cong" and "You" and adverbs "Ben" and "Of course", and further extended the meanings of verbs "Shi", such as "Fa Zhe" and "Wang Zhi". "The word" zi "in the sentence" Everything is done wrong in Xindu "means" start ".
After the word "Zi" was used as the first personal pronoun "I" and "Zi", people in Qin and Han Dynasties created a new pictophonetic word to express the original meaning of the word "Zi"-"nose". This newly created pictophonetic character is the word "nose", in which "self" means shape and "sound" means sound.

For example, Luo Guanzhong is the originator of Zhang Hui's novels in China, and Zhao Zhongyao is the originator of nuclear physics in China.
According to Yangzi dialect, when a mortal is pregnant, his nose is first formed, so he is called the ancestor.
It is said that Li Longji, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, enjoyed watching the theatre very much, and he also wanted to be with singers. One year, during the Lantern Festival, Li Longji hosted a banquet for civil and military officials and disciples of Liyuan. In order to please the emperor, singers dressed up as various gods and ghosts, sang songs compiled by the emperor and danced heartily in the palace. Everyone sings, dances, plays the board and drums. Very lively. Tang couldn't help joining the dance team, but he found that others were wearing masks or makeup, and he was the only one who was different, so he asked someone to put some white ash on his nose and dress up as a clown with a white nose. Don Huang Ming said, "I put on makeup myself to have fun with you." The disciples of Liyuan were very happy to see the emperor and danced until dawn. Since then, people have regarded Emperor Tang Ming as the originator of drama.
