Chao (pinyin: cháo) is a first-class standard Chinese character. The word was born no later than the Western Zhou Dynasty, and its ancient shape is like a bird's nest on a tree. The original meaning is bird's nest, which also refers to the nest of bees, ants and so on. It also refers to the place where the bad guys hide.

In the official script stage, the main body of bird's nest evolved into a "field" shape, and the "wood" strokes at the lower part also became straight. The protrusion on the upper edge was preserved, writing "embarrassment" and being inherited by regular script.
