In the oracle bone script, it is an ideogrammic compound (會意) : 卩 (“kneeling person”) + 䇂 (“sickle-like tool”) – to administer; to regulate; to punish.
〇 was sometimes added, though its function is disputed:
- Lin (1920) suggests that it represents “bind; restrain”.
- Luo (1927) suggests that it is the original character for 璧 (OC *peɡ, “jade annulus”) and that 辟 is the early form of 璧, with 〇 as the semantic component and ⿰卩䇂 as the phonetic component. Chi (2010), based on this theory, proposes that 〇 acted as a phonetic component in 辟 instead.
- Yu (1999) suggests that it is a decorative component with no meaning.
〇 was later corrupted into 口 or 日. Shuowen interprets 口 as representing the enforcer of the law.
In the bronze script from the Warring States period, forms where 䇂 is corrupted to 辛 begin to appear (Chi, 2010).
Officially adopted as the simplified form of 闢 in the Chinese Character Simplification Scheme (《漢字簡化方案》) in 1956 due to homophony and shared semantic fields.
