If the ancient character is very complex and specific (Not reused), then for the sake of simplification it becomes X.
So in essence X is not a radical, and has no specific meaning. You would need to go to the ancient character
It is also used for simplication from 繁体字 to 简体字
殺 or 杀, you see that both used it and the old version is just something complicated

Li is the place where people live and live, and Guli is naturally extended to refer to hometowns and hometowns

“It is the five-color gold, and yellow is its most important color. … It is born in the soil, and it is composed of soil, with left and right sides, which resembles the shape of gold in the soil, and its current sound.”

In short, judging from the shape of the word “金” in the Western Zhou bronze inscriptions, its structure should be from Lü, from Shi, “A” shape (or now) sound, Lü represents the raw material of bronze - Jinhu, Shi or Wang is originally a pictograph of an axe, indicating a bronze product. The word “金” in the Western Zhou bronze inscriptions is used to mean the raw material of bronze.

其
El significado original de “Qi” es cistella recogedora, que es la palabra antigua para “cistella recogedora”. Sin embargo, en varios documentos antiguos se ha utilizado durante mucho tiempo como adverbio y pronombre, y hoy se pronuncia qí. “Qi” a veces se lee como jī. La primera es escribir una partícula modal, como “Cómo está la noche” en “El Libro de las Canciones·Xiaoya·Ting Liao”; la segunda es leer “Qi (punto)”; para expresar el aniversario.
