Bathing is a knowing word at first, from people to vegetables. In the lower part of Oracle Bone Inscriptions in Shang Dynasty, there was a big container with water in the middle. In the water stood a man with a hunchback and a left face. There are four spots around the man, as if there are water drops on both sides of the human body, indicating that he is taking a bath. Speaking of bathing.
During the Warring States Period, characters were distorted. Chu Silk Book and Qin Biography changed them into pictophonetic characters of "from water to valley sound". Although they are not as intuitive as Oracle Bone Inscriptions, they have laid a structural foundation for this paper. Later glyphs basically followed the Warring States script glyph, but the structure was adjusted, and regular script was formed by Xiao Zhuan.
