Amazing Chinese characters (785) Page - 页(頁)

The shell bone script of character Page is

The top is character Head - 首 (Post 41), the bottom is the human body. It is unknown why it means Page now. It may be a "transfer character", which took another character for its meaning. Most of time, the character carries two or more meanings, original meaning and other meanings. But this character has only Page meaning, no other meanings, very strange.

The bronze script of character Page is
The top is hair, the middle is face, both form character Head - 首. The bottom is body. 

The small script of character Page is

The top is similar to the top of bronze script of character Head - 首 except the top becomes one line. The bottom is the body, but not like the body, just two legs.
