甲骨文的“画”字像一个人拿着笔画出美丽的花纹。金文增加了一个“田”字，有了划分田界的意思。我们现在使用的“画”是简化后，改造了的小篆的下半部分。
（jiǎɡǔwén de “huà”zì xiànɡ yíɡɡèrén názhebǐ huàchū ，měilìde huāwén。jīnwén zēnɡjiāle yíɡè “tián”zì，yǒule huàfēn tiánjiè de yìsi。wǒmén xiànzài shǐyònɡsān“huà”shì jiǎnhuàhòu，ɡǎizàolede xiǎozhuànde xiàbànbùfen。）
The character of the oracle bone script for”画”looks like a person holding a writing brush and drawing a beautiful pattern. The bronze script version adds the character “田”; the resultant the character meant “to divide or partition”. The bottom part of the small seal character was transformed to form the simplified Chinese characer version of”画”.
