The Eastern Han Dynasty's Shuowen Jiezi (说文解字) observed the shape of the character from the Small Seal Script and thought that it was the initial shape of a well, but in fact, the original meaning was lost, and in later times, it was even a blackmail, not knowing that it was the character for "dan" in ancient times.
