从语源学、音韵学、文化学的角度推本穷源，“和”文明的起源应始于古人见到众多可以饱腹的禾谷而惊叹的“夥”；久而久之，定名为“禾”；因为“求禾”而有“()”；禾谷丰收，人们会认为是求禾行为得到了上天的回应，因而产生了“应和”义的“和”；又因“禾以其调和人之性命”，“其米多而沃，食之者强”，从而抽象出“调和”义的“龢”。金文“龢”的“由乐声之谐和始能引出调义，由乐声之共鸣始能引伸出相譍义”，则由甲骨文“求禾”的物质层面提升到了精神层面，产生了质的飞跃。

To infer from the angles of etymology, phonology and cultural science, when the ancient people saw the great amount of grains, they might marvel at them:“Huo(夥)!”In the course of time, it was named He(禾). From praying for He(禾) to the() character , people thought God that answered their prayers when there was a harvest, thus the word harmony(和) came into being. Also because grain(禾) was what people lived on and abundant harvest would make them strong, then they got“龢”which means harmonizing on ancient bronze objects.“龢”is the original complete form of the simplified Chinese character和 which means harmony of music. In this way the word goes further from the physical level to the spiritual level and has a qualitative leap.
