Note on the Word Qin
The upper part of jinwen qin(禽)in its early form is like heaven. The early form of jinwen qin(禽) is to catch a bird in sky by a long-handled net. The character part in the later form of jinwen qin(禽) is changed, so the original associative compounds character qin(禽)is transformed as a pictophonetic character. The explanation of the word meaning and analysis of the form meaning of qin(禽) in "Shuowen" is not correct.
