貿（贸）：卯+贝。Trade：卯（firewood）+贝（copper coin）

什么是“卯”，在中国古文化中，有十天干、十二地支之说。在十二地支中的第四位是卯，卯代表乙木，乙木指的是荆棘、灌木丛，而荆棘、灌木丛不是可以做栋梁之材的参天大树，而是一些低矮的枝枝丫丫（卯的象形字）的、难以做成大材的木材，只配砍下来做烧柴。在古汉字中，与“乙木”相对应的是“甲木”，“甲木”就是那些伟岸、高耸的乔木。灌木绝大多数只能够用来做烧柴（或者做小型的家具、生产辅助用具），而乔木则主要用于做房屋、桥梁等建筑的栋梁之材或者板材。

What's 卯"Mao"?In ancient Chinese culture, there are ten days to dry, twelve branches of the theory. The fourth of the twelve branches is Mao, which stands for second wood, and B refers to thorns, bushes, and thorns, and thickets are not towering trees that can be used as pillars of the earth, but some low twigs (hieroglyphics). The wood that is difficult to make into large timber is only worthy of being cut down for firewood. In ancient Chinese characters, "B wood" corresponds to "A wood", "A wood" is the great bank, towering trees. Most shrubs can only be used for firewood (or for small furniture and auxiliary appliances), while trees are mainly used for buildings such as houses, bridges, etc. The pillars of the material or plate.

“贸”字是由“卯”和“贝”组成，其含义是用烧柴（卯）来换钱，或者用钱（贝）来买烧柴，这就是贸，也叫贸易。中国这个“贸”字，是十分传神的，紧紧地抓住了事情的关键——贸易过程中买卖双方的贸易行为及其基本表现。这与英语的trade（贸易）相比较，英语的贸字仅仅是个音，而汉字却把“贸”这种行为是什么、怎么做，都显示得非常清楚。

Compared with the English trade, the English trade word is just a sound, while the Chinese character shows clearly what the "trade" behavior is and how to do it.

换言之，“贸”字中的“卯”与“贝”是一种什么关系呢？用“卯”（烧柴）去换“贝”（钱），或者用“贝”去买“卯”，在“卯”与“贝”之间，存在一种互相交换的关系，即互相贸易（“贸”）的关系。在贸易的过程中，买卖的双方作为钱或者物的主人，通过市场交换，互相之间交换了一种物资所有权关系，这种交易（变易）使原先“卯”和“贝”的所有者交换了各自的所有权。换言之，在贸易过程中，贸易的双方各取所需，实现了自己交易的目的。需要金钱的人，卖出了自己的货物（卯）；而需要货物的人付出了自己的金钱。

The word "trade" accurately shows the relationship between the buyer and seller, the exchange of goods and money, and the exchange of positions between those who originally owned firewood (d) and those who owned money (shellfish). From the hands of the original possession of money ("shellfish"), in the hands of B "Mao" (firewood); Through trading activities, the transfer of money into B ("shellfish"), and a hand in the "Mao" (firewood), indicating that the owner of the goods and money is changing. This change is called trade. This commodity exchange is not only among the early bourgeois economists, not just In Marx's Capital, it was clearly expressed in ancient Chinese characters as early as five or six thousand years or even more ancient Chinese history. Perhaps we will smile proudly at the wisdom of our ancient ancestors. If our ancestors grasped the true meaning of trade in ancient times, today, thousands of years later, China should display its wisdom and wisdom in the World Trade Organization.
