《汉字解码学》21  “牧”是养牛业发展的写照。《基维百科》资料表明；“今日,大多数的家牛的祖先都是原牛。原牛曾廣泛分布於欧亚大陆，但后来它们的数量渐渐减少，1627年世界上最后一头原牛在波兰被捕杀。

实际上家牛的起源与驯化是一个令考古学家和古生物学家非常困惑的问题，关于其驯化发源地有单一中心说与多中心说两种观点。单一中心说认为现代欧洲牛类来源于公元前6千年的新月沃地。而多中心说则认为除了新月沃地外，非洲北部的埃及地区可能也在公元前7千年左右独立地驯化出了牛类。随着原牛向东部的亚洲迁移，它可能在3千至5千年前于亚洲地区的巴基斯坦一带被独立地驯化出来。”

牛在中国的驯养，应有4000年以上的历史。甲骨文档案中的“牛”字与“牧”字，就是很明显的证据。

牛   甲骨文象牛之头形，突显牛角，特征明确，是牛之最好特写。《说文》注：“大牲也。牛，件也。件，事理也。象角头三封尾之形。”牛为牺牲之大者。牛，可分黄牛、水牛、牦牛、犀牛等。作形容词，比喻倔强、固执、骄傲。股市上用以形容涨盘，称“牛市”。

牛 (名) ox (母牛cow, 公牛bull, 小牛calf)

牧   甲骨文象人执鞭牧牛之形。《说文》注：“养牛人也。从攴，从牛。《诗》曰：牧人乃梦。”牧为放牧牲畜，亦指放牧牲畜之人。《诗经·小雅·无羊》上说：“牧人乃梦。”是说牧人为管理放牧牛羊之官员，故牧又引申为治、使。

牧 (动) herd; tend

There are single-center and multi-center views on the origin of domestication. The single center said that modern European cattle originated in the fertile crescent of 6,000 BC. The multi-center said that in addition to the crescent fertile land, the northern African region of Egypt may also be around 7,000 BC independent domesticated cattle. As cattle migrate to eastern Asia, it may have been domesticated independently in Pakistan in the Asian region between 3,000 and 5,000 years ago. "
