Pictogram (象形)Category:Han pictograms#龍00 – originally depicting a sacred composite creature in ancient China, combining features of the snake, crocodile, fish, deer, etc.

Shang oracle-bone and bronze forms usually show a large-mouthed beast head and an S-shaped geometric body; Shang bronzes and decorative motifs show diamond- or scale-like patterning associated with snakes (perhaps fish or crocodile scales), occasionally with legs. In oracle-bone forms, the head bears one or two inverted 王Category:Pages using lite templates-shaped elements (i.e. inverted axe/halberd forms) or a 玉Category:Pages using lite templates-like ornament. The form in Heji H04655 matches Shang bronze forms, which are more pictorial, like an inverted axe/halberd attached above the head; scholars generally derive this “bottle-shaped horn” from deer antlers, though some bronze forms instead attach a bell-shaped or shell-like undeciphered graph or clan emblem.

In Western Zhou bronzes, the head ornament tends toward 辛Category:Pages using lite templates; by the late Western Zhou and early Spring and Autumn period, the mouth is drawn downward into 肉Category:Pages using lite templates, and the body behind the head develops a large bulge, like a snake swollen after swallowing a large animal. Thereafter head and body separate into the left and right parts of the character; by the Warring States period, the S-shaped right side also acquires three horizontal strokes like a dorsal fin. In Eastern Han stelae, the right side may, perhaps for ease of writing, change into a form like 尨Category:Pages using lite templates; Sui stelae show forms written simply as 尨Category:Pages using lite templates. This style becomes commoner from the Song and Yuan onward; Yuan editions already show the one-stroke form 龙Category:Pages using lite templates, later standardized in mainland China. The Japanese form 竜Category:Pages using lite templates is first attested in the 597 Sui epitaph Dong Meiren Muzhi (《董美人墓誌》).

Etymology

Category:Pages using etymon with no ID#龍00

From Proto-Sino-Tibetan Category:Chinese terms inherited from Proto-Sino-Tibetan#龍00 Category:Chinese terms derived from Proto-Sino-Tibetan#龍00 *m-bru(ŋ/k) (“dragon; thunder”). Cognate with Tibetan འབྲུག ('brug, “dragon; thunder”). The STEDT database also lists 隆 (OC *ɡ·ruːŋ, “thunder; sound of thunder”) and 雹 (OC *bruːɡ, “hail”) as cognates. Also compare 靐 (OC *brɯŋs, “sound of thunder”) and 霹靂 (OC *pʰeːɡ reːɡ, “thunder”).

Usage notes

This kanji is the 旧(きゅう)字(じ)体(たい) (kyūjitai) form of the 新(しん)字(じ)体(たい) (shinjitai) kanji 竜, but is used as a component in jōyō kanji 襲 and 籠, with the latter categorized as Jōyō as of 2010.
Although it is officially simplified into 竜, 龍 is often used instead for certain words for its aesthetics (such as in literary contexts or for spelling words borrowed from Chinese). For example, 烏龍茶 (ūroncha, “oolong tea”) is rarely spelled as 烏竜茶.
