This character originated from the image of a hand holding out a pole in the sun to observe the shadow projected onto the ground for detemining orientations. As the observation usually took place at midday, the character later became a term specifically referring to noon time. The carvings containing the term“督”（Du）was a divination on whether it would be appropriate to offer sacrifice at noon in a ceremony to honor their ancestors. 督 Noon (2021) 58cm x 48cm
