甲骨文中的“ 龟”是象形字，主要有两种写法，字形像乌龟侧视或正视之形，有头、足、甲和尾，特别是背甲特征非常明显。卜辞中有三种用法：表示乌龟、表示用乌龟进行占卜、表示人名。
The oracle bone script form of the character "龟"(guī) is a pictograph. It has two primary forms. Its shape resembles a turtle viewed either from the side or the front, complete with a head, legs, shell, and tail, with the carapace being especially prominent. In oracle bone inscriptions, it is used in three ways: to represent a turtle, to represent divination with a turtle, and as a person's name.
