The big script for character Island is
which is a Bird
on the top, and a Mountain
on the bottom.
The character means that the Island is a place where there are mountains and birds.
But where is the water? Island should be surrounded by water. The ancient Chinese didn't put water in the the character, which makes the character incomplete and imperfect.
Let me to make correction. Here is my art.
We know that the top one is Bird, the middle bottom one is Mountain (small script). I added two Water characters (small script), which is to complete the meaning.
There are different scripts for Water, and Mountain, let's see different combinations.
Both Mountain and Water characters above are shell bone script.
The Mountain above is shell bone script, and the characters of Water are small seal script.
Which one do you like most?
