Amazing Chinese characters (768) Rotation - 番

The bronze script of character Rotation is

The top is like character Rice - 米 (Post 163), but it is not the same. I think it is rice crop with rice before threshing. The bottom is character Field - 田 (Post 3). The character means that the rice crop is planted in paddy field to produce the rice year after year.  It is used to express how many times of a same thing people has done.
