The Chinese character 令 (lìng) is composed of two parts: the radical 口 (kǒu), which means "mouth," and the phonetic component 令 (lìng), which is a variant of the character 令 (lìng), meaning "to command." The character 令 (lìng) first appeared in oracle bone script during the Shang dynasty (c. 1600–1046 BCE) and was originally used as a verb meaning "to command" or "to order." Over time, the character 令 (lìng) developed additional meanings, including "decree," "law," and "regulation." In modern Chinese, the character 令 (lìng) is commonly used as a noun meaning "order" or "command," as well as a verb meaning "to command" or "to order."
