It is a pictograph: the upper part represents the shape of grass, and the lower part hints at the pronunciation. Mugwort was widely used in ancient medicine and festival rituals.

字形演变 (Character Evolution)

甲骨文 (Oracle Bone Script):

甲骨文中的“艾”上部像三根草叶，下部为“乂”形，表示声旁和义旁结合。 In Oracle Bone Script, '艾' has three grass-like lines at the top, with a '乂' shape at the bottom, combining phonetic and semantic components.

金文 (Bronze Inscription):

金文中“艾”的形体较甲骨文更为圆润，上部像草，下部结构变化不大。 In Bronze Inscriptions, the form of '艾' became more rounded compared to oracle bone script, with the top resembling grass and little change in the lower structure.

小篆 (Small Seal Script):

小篆中“艾”字上部演变为“艹”，下部保留“乂”的结构，整体更规范。 In Small Seal Script, '艾' develops a standardized '艹' radical at the top, while retaining the '乂' structure at the bottom.

隶书 (Clerical Script):

隶书中“艾”字形趋于扁平化，草字头与下方结构分明。 In Clerical Script, the character became flatter, with a distinct grass radical at the top and clear separation from the lower part.

楷书 (现代) (Regular Script (Modern)):

现代楷书写法中，“艾”上部为“艹”，下部为“乂”，书写规范美观。 In modern Regular Script, the top is the '艹' (grass) radical and the bottom is '乂', standardized and aesthetically balanced.
