(Insects refer to any kind of animal, such as tigers (大蟲)). In the oracle bone script, the character 鳳 (OC *bums, “male fenghuang”) was phonetically borrowed to represent 風 (OC *plum, *plums). The right part of the bronze inscription of the character consists of phonetic 凡 (OC *bom) at the top, and three parts depicting the fur on the tail of the male fenghuang at the bottom. Subsequent forms of 風 are based on the right part of its bronze inscription, with two of the three threads of \"fur\" removed for simplification. The 虫 in the Chu script and Qin script of 風 was likely a result of further simplification of the \"fur\". Shuowen misinterpreted the character 風 by associating it with insects. (Li, 2012)"

However, this interpretation is likely erroneous as 廿 at the top was formed as a result of corruption of 口 in the bronze inscription. Chi (2010) proposes that 黃 was originally a pictogram (象形) and the original character of 尪 (OC *qʷaːŋ, “a disabled person with a protruding chest or abdomen”). It has been phonetically borrowed for \"yellow\" since the era of the oracle bone script. He (1998) noted the possible ritual of burning disabled people with a protruding chest or abdomen to pray for rain as mentioned in Zuozhuan. The 口 in the upper part of the bronze inscription of 黃 might be depicting the disabled person's face facing upwards. Li (2012), on the other hand, proposes that 黃 was originally a pictogram (象形) and the original character of 璜 (OC *ɡʷaːŋ, “semicircular jade”) as the 口 in the oracle bone script resembles a ring of jade, so the character would carry the meaning of \"a man wearing a ring of jade on his chest\". The meaning \"yellow\" is the result of rebus."
