The form of 上 on the oracle bones was represented by two horizontal line, like this 二 èr; the one below indicates the "horizon" and the one above indicates "above the horizon". but it has the same form with another Chinese character 二  means two. to avoid duplication, on the horizontal line a upwards vertical line was added. and pay more attention to another similar Chinese character 土 , the difference between them is that in 土 the above horizontal line  cross the vertical line, but  in 上 do not. and when this character is used as verb, the meaning becomes "attend" or "go into". This is the magic of Chinese characters.
