The earliest known form of this character can be traced back to the Han dynasty 《孔宙碑》 tablet written in clerical script.

This character became the orthodox form in mainland China based on the 1965 Table of General Used Chinese Characters for Publishing 《印刷通用漢字字形表》 where Xin Zixing (新字形) is promulgated for the first time.
