i noticed that upon the golden seal, the first two characters 漢委 seem to be sharing the left radicals as the lines that what are meant to be 禾 and⺡look like two big 小. i am only vaguely familiar with chinese through a a decent amount of japanese, and even less familiar with the history of the scripts. any heads able to tell me if this is what i am percieving, or what it is?
>>217859258>Tell me you get no bitches without actually telling me
that's one character, just 漢 on the right
>>217859267ikr? dude is posting on 4chan
>>217859274the full text rendered in modern script is 漢委奴國王, which is only 5, and the seal shows 6.
>>217859291The seal shows 5, its just the 漢 is enlarged to fill the right slot
>>217859258Seal script was mostly introduced from Mongols/Tibetans. The later iterations of it are derived from ʼPhags-pa script. The ancient stuff is anyone's guess because that's before they even had Kangxi radicals, I'm not even sure it means anything.
>>217859303ok i see, but what confuses me is the central line of the thingy that looks like 小 in the left hand radical of the first two characters continues from top to bottom, it looks to me like the intention was a clever trick to share a similar looking radical between characters or something
>>217859320i think i get what you mean by its one character, this section here is 漢, but where does the 委 come from because 奴國王 are accounted for
>>217859369ok no it really was just a simple misunderstanding i am a fool
