The Chinese character 花 (huā) for "flower" is a pictograph that depicts a flower in bloom. The character is composed of two parts: the radical 艹 (cǎo), which means "grass" or "plant", and the phonetic component 華 (huá), which is a simplified form of the character 華 (huá), which means "splendid" or "beautiful". The character 花 (huā) is first seen in oracle bone script, the earliest form of Chinese writing, dating back to the Shang dynasty (c. 1600–1046 BCE). In oracle bone script, the character 花 (huā) is depicted as a simple drawing of a flower with four petals. Over time, the character evolved to its current form, which is still used today. The character 花 (huā) has a rich history and has been used in Chinese poetry, literature, and art for centuries. It is also a popular name for girls in China.
