笔(bǐ)

 
字形:
最早的“笔”字像一只手拿着毛笔在写字的样子,后来人们又在上面加了“竹”字,成为今天的“笔”字,因为毛笔的笔杆是用竹子做的。
The earliest form of the character "笔" resembled a hand writing with a brush. Later, people added the character "竹" (bamboo) on the top of it, because the holder of the writing brush was made of bamboo. Thus it evolved into its modern form of "笔".
