Etymological evolution: the word Kang was first seen in Oracle Bone Inscriptions in Shang Dynasty, and the upper part was the word "Geng", which looked like a hanging bell; There are several dots at the bottom of the word "G". Because the configuration of the word "Geng" is not clear, the configuration of the word "Kang" is also controversial. According to some data, "Geng" is an ideogram of a musical instrument, and the dots at the back represent the sound made by the instrument. When you say the whole word, it's ringing. Its original word is actually the first word of "recreation" and "health". "Geng" is a symbol of "health" and can also be regarded as a phonetic symbol.
