Reason is quite likely the researchers contrast analysis of the available material is inadequately. Due to the lack of enough academic circles to Kun( é«¡) punishment applicable way to specific historical materials and indecisiveness,we can’t make a sure answer what is the victim look like when be punished by Kun(é«¡)punishment. This Thesis tries to start with the way of writing,analysis what is the image who be hearted by Kun(é«¡)punishment.This article first summarizes the evolution of the various parts of kun(é«¡)word in Oracle, Jin, Xiao Zhuan and other ancients words. Then Speculate the image meaning may have behind each shape,And Find Kun( é«¡) word meaning of images. This article attempts to provide a possibility of speculation.
