黍，去皮后称黄米，比小米稍大。“黍”字字形，下面表示谷物的根部，中间为枝干，上面的分叉表示谷物的叶，几个小点，示意颗粒成熟而脱落，或说像水滴。百片甲骨故事会汉代之前，豆竟然不是一种植物？
When peeled, the grain "黍(shǔ)" is alsoknown as glutinous millet, which is slightlylarger than millet.The bottom of the oraclebone script for the character"黍(shǔ)" represents the root of the grain, with the centerpart as the branches, and the forks above represent the leaves of this grain.The severalsmalldots indicate that the grains are ripe and falloff, or like waterdrops.
