How to check the words in the text

If you want to look up "Shuo Wen Jie Zi", there are simple ways and complex ways.

Simple, you should buy the Yuelu Book Society's version of "Shuowen Jie Zi", which comes with strokes and phonetic sequence checking. The strokes are counted according to the new glyphs, which is easier to count accurately. First of all, you have to be able to read the word.

The most authoritative and widely used is the Zhonghua Book Company edition of "Shuowen Jie Zi", this version only has the stroke check method, and it is counted according to the old glyphs, young people are not familiar with the old glyphs, and often the number is not accurate. (For the difference between the old and new glyphs, please refer to the "Xinhua Dictionary" and the "Modern Chinese Dictionary", which has a "comparison table between the old and new glyphs").

It's complicated for a number of other reasons. One is that we don't know that there is a certain word confiscated in "Shuowen Jie Zi", and the second is that some words are different from the way we write them now. Therefore, it is not easy to check.

What words does "Shuowen Jiezi" receive? It contains a total of 9,353 characters, mainly Confucian classics, and the deadline is the Han Dynasty (100 AD), so it is impossible to find the words that appeared in later generations in the "Shuowen Jie Zi", such as "oxygen", "hydrogen", "flower" and "bin". If you want to determine whether there is a word in "Shuowen Jiezi", you can check "Wang Li's Ancient Chinese Dictionary" and "Ciyuan" and other reference books, and these dictionaries will explain the words in "Shuowen Jiezi".

Words with different ways of writing are the most difficult to master, and they can only be memorized one by one. For example, "Liu" in "Shuo Wen Jie Zi" is used as "镏", the added "Tian" is "dipped", and the "Bin" of the literary quality is used as "part". There are also two traditional Chinese characters that are simplified to become a character, and they should also be different.

For example, the hair (hair) of the departure and the hair (hair), the back (back) of the front and back and the queen (back), the grain of the valley and the grain of rice (谷).

At present, some people have compiled an electronic version of the "Shuowen Jie Zi" and an index, etc., which are very convenient for searching. There are also some on the Internet, search for them yourself.

1.The original text is classified according to the component, and the word containing the component is placed in one place as much as possible, and it is expressive.

2.However, the order in which the components are arranged is not clear.

3.According to the ancient saying, to find a word, sometimes you have to go through the whole book.

4.To use the words of the spoken text, it is recommended to use a book with pinyin search and stroke search.

The introduction of the words is as follows:

1. "Saying Words and Interpreting Words".

Abbreviated as "Shuowen".

It was written by Xu Shen, a scholar and philologist of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Edited works of language reference books. Shuowen Jie Zi is one of the earliest Chinese dictionaries in China that systematically analyzes the glyphs of Chinese characters and examines the origin of characters, and it is also one of the earliest dictionaries in the world.

2. The content of "Shuowen Interpretation of Words" consists of 15 volumes, of which the first 14 volumes are text explanations, and the prefix is a small seal.

Writing. When this book was compiled, it was the first time that a specific explanation of the "Six Books" was made, explaining the font word by word**; Volume 15 is a narrative that records the origin, development, function, and structure of Chinese characters, as well as the author's purpose.

3. Shuowen Jie Zi is the earliest Chinese dictionary arranged by radicals. The book is divided into 540 radicals, 9,353 characters, and 1,163 "heavy texts" (i.e., variant characters), with a total of 10,516 characters.

4. The original book of "Shuowen Jie Zi" was written by Emperor He of the Han Dynasty.

From the twelfth year of Yongyuan (100 years) to the first year of Emperor Jianguang (121 years). Song Taizong.

In the third year of Yongxi (986), Song Taizong ordered Xu Xuan, Ju Zhongzheng, Ge Tuan, Wang Weigong and others to study the same school "Shuowen Interpretation of Words", divided into a total of 30 volumes, and the engraved version of the Fengyi was clothed, and the later generations studied the "Shuowen" mostly based on this edition, such as the Qing Dynasty Duan Yu's annotated version of the "Shuowen" was annotated with this version of the "Shuowen" as the base draft.

5. Shuowen Jie Zi is the foundation work of scientific philology and documentary linguistics, and has an important position in the history of Chinese and Chinese linguistics.

How can I check the "Shuowen Jie Zi"?

In the latter part of the "Shuowen Jie Zi" is attached to the "Character Inspection Table", which is divided into two parts: "radical" and "main text". There are two methods available: 1. Check the radical.

Shuowen Jie Zi is arranged according to radicals, so if you have determined the radical of a word, then check how many pages this radical is in the whole book, and then find your words one by one. For example, if you look up the word "Hetu Open Skin", its radical is "氵" (note that in "Shuowen Jie Zi", 氵 and related to "water" are both "water" parts. There is a similar situation with other radicals), and the "water key difference" is counted as four strokes, and it can be found that the "water department" is in the "two-two-four" of the whole text, that is, in the lower column of page 224.

Turning to page 224, I saw the morning posture "Water Department", everything related to "water" is here in turn; I searched one by one, and I found it. 2. Check in the "text" in the "Word Checking Table". Let's take the "river" as an example.

I counted the word "river" and looked for it one by one in the "eight paintings" and found "two, two, four", indicating that it was in the column below page 224 of the full text. Okay, just flip over there. Since the "Shuowen" is arranged with radicals, you don't necessarily have to look it up like this, for example, if you still look up the word "river", you can just see a word for "water" in the "Character Inspection Table", such as "Jiang" and "Huai", see its page.

The name of "Shuowen Jie Zi" includes two meanings: one is "Shuo Wen", the other is "Jiezi", "Wen" and "Zi" are not the same concept, Xu Shen's explanation of this is: When Cangjie began to make words, he probably copied them according to the shape of all things, so this kind of pictorial symbol was called "Wen", and after that, the symbol that combines shape and shape, shape and sound is called "word".

"Wen" is to describe the original shape of things, and the meaning of "word" is to breed and reproduce.

Explain the words. The content of "Shuowen Jie Zi" is a total of 15 volumes, taking the small seal as the research object, and referring to the ancient texts and texts other than the small seal, of which 1 to 14 volumes are text explanations, and 15 volumes are narratives, each volume is divided into two articles, which is actually 30 volumes. A total of 9,353 prefixes, 1,163 heavy texts (ancient texts, variants, etc.), the prefixes are subject to small seals, and there are ancient texts, Zhou texts and other variants.

Book text.

1. Leave a copy as a yuan book, paste it next to the paraphrase of each word (of course, if you choose to copy it by hand) the meaning of the word in the "Shuowen", one ring after another, forming a system.

2. You must know that there are many mutual training words in "Shuowen", and some of them are equivalent to no explanation if they are put bluntly. But Xu Shen is not a casual person, so the kung fu is still in his own hands, and there will always be an effect. By the time you've done all of this, you'll be familiar with the book.

3. It is not enough to read the original work to read the "Shuowen", but also to rely on the guidance of the exegesis of the past dynasties. At the top of the list is naturally the monograph of "The Four Masters of Literature". In addition, there are some bibliography for entry-level study of the Shuowen:

4. Shuowen Jie Zi is the first Chinese dictionary arranged by radicals. The original book was written from the twelfth year of Emperor Yongyuan of the Han Dynasty (100 years) to the first year of Emperor Jianguang of An Emperor (121 years), and has now been lost, and most of the versions that have been handed down to this day are Song Dynasty versions, or Qing Dynasty Duan Yu annotations.
