A brief understanding of the origin of the word

Cangjie, known as Cangjie, surnamed Hou Gang, known as Shi Huangshi, was a historian of the Yellow Emperor, who collected, sorted out and used the words that circulated among the ancestors, played an important role in the process of creating Chinese characters, and made immortal contributions to the reproduction and prosperity of the Chinese nation. However, it is generally believed that the creation of Chinese characters by Cangjie alone is just a legend, but he may be the organizer of Chinese characters, and is respected by later generations as a "saint of character creation". There are Cangjie Mausoleum, Cangjie Temple and Book Builder in 35 Huali Wu Village, northwest of Nanle County today, historians believe that Cangjie was born in Si and buried in Si.

Characters evolved through pictographs.

From the ancient legend of Cangjie to the discovery of oracle bone inscriptions more than 100 years ago, generations of Chinese scholars have been working to unravel the mystery of the origin of Chinese characters.

Regarding the origin of Chinese characters, there are various theories in ancient Chinese literature, such as:"Knotted rope"、"Gossip"、"Drawings"、"Book deed"And so on, the legend of the Yellow Emperor's historian Cangjie making characters is also widely recorded in ancient books. Modern scholars believe that a systematic writing tool cannot be completely created by a single person, and if Cangjie really has someone, he should be the text collator or promulgator.

The earliest carved symbols date back more than 8,000 years.

In recent decades, the Chinese archaeological community has released a series of excavated materials related to the origin of Chinese characters earlier than the Yinxu oracle bone inscriptions. These materials mainly refer to the carved or painted symbols that appeared on pottery in the late primitive society and the early historical society, and also include a small number of symbols engraved on oracle bones, jade, stone tools, etc. It can be said that together they provide a new basis for explaining the origin of Chinese characters.

Through systematic investigation and comparison of the carved symbols on pottery shards unearthed in more than 100 sites of 19 archaeological cultures throughout China, Wang Yunzhi, a doctoral supervisor at Zhengzhou University, believes that the earliest carved symbols in China appeared at the Jiahu site in Wuyang, Henan, which has a history of more than 8,000 years.

Scientists have tried to make a comprehensive arrangement of these original materials through scientific means, such as the comprehensive use of some basic methods such as archaeology, paleographic formation, comparative philology, scientific and technological archaeology, and high-tech means, so as to sort out some clues about the occurrence and development of Chinese characters before the Shang Dynasty.

However, the situation is not so simple, except for the small materials that have been found in Zhengzhou ** site and Xiaoshuangqiao site (the site has found more than 10 cases of early Shang Dynasty Zhushu Taowen in recent years) can be directly compared with the Yinxu script, other pre-Shang symbols are scattered and scattered, missing many links from each other, and most of the symbols do not match the Shang Dynasty script configuration. There are also some symbols with heavy regional colors and complex backgrounds.

Writing first matured in the Shang Dynasty.

As far as the Yin Shang written materials known and seen so far are concerned, there are many types of text carriers. At that time, in addition to writing with a brush on the booklet, the other main means of writing were carved on tortoiseshell bones, pottery, jade, and pottery cast on bronze. The Shang Dynasty written materials are mainly based on oracle bones and bronze ritual vessels used in Yinxu Bu, which are the earliest mature scripts found in China so far.

In general, the development of Chinese characters has undergone more than 6,000 years of changes, and its evolution process is as follows:

Banpo pottery, Dongyi bone inscriptions, oracle bone inscriptions, gold inscriptions, small seals, official scripts, regular scripts, and line scripts.

"Blessed"Explained as:"Blessings"、"Good luck"。Spring Festival sticker"Blessed"Words, whether it is now or in the past, are entrusted with people's yearning for a happy life and are also wishes for a better future. In order to reflect this yearning and wishes, the people put the word blessing in front of the door.

And even later, it will be"Blessed"The words are pasted upside down in order to seek homophony"Blessings fall","Blessings have arrived".

In Wu Zimu's "Dream Lianglu" in the Song Dynasty: "Regardless of the size of the Shishu family, they all sprinkle and sweep the door, remove the dust, clean the court, change the door god, hang the bell Kui, nail the peach charm, paste the spring card, and sacrifice the ancestors." "Paste the spring card" is to write the word blessing on the red paper and paste it in front of the gate.

It can be seen from this that the custom of sticking the word Fu has started at least since the Southern Song Dynasty, and the history can be described as long.

Legend has it that when Jiang Taigong was crowned a god after King Wu's victory, he made his wife Ye a poor god, and told her: "Blessed places, you can't go." "From then on, every family posted the word blessing during the New Year, which is to tell the poor god, I am a blessed place here, and you must not come in.

The word Fu is a symbol of getting rid of poverty and pursuing happiness. Of course, this is just a legend, but it reflects the people's desire for good luck.

The word Fu is one of the oldest characters in our country, which has appeared in the oracle bone inscription, and is the shape of the wine vessel in front of the gods, because the ancients used wine to symbolize a prosperous life. The current blessing word, by the show

1. The mouth and the field are composed, and they are shown to refer to the gods; field, which refers to ploughing land and hunting; One word, according to the "Shuo Wen" explained: "One, only the beginning of the beginning, the Tao stands in one, creates heaven and earth, and turns into all things"; Oral words, "Shuowen" said: "Mouth, people are so talking."

In this blessing, the common people pray for land to meet their needs for food and clothing.

A common theory in Chinese historiography is that the origin of Chinese writing began with the Yin Shang dynasty. In fact, the oracle bone inscriptions in the Yin Shang era were already very mature, and before that, there should have been a process from occurrence, development to gradual maturity, so some people advocate pushing it to the end of summer; There are also those who advocate pushing it to the pre-summer and holding their own opinions.

Guo Moruo pointed out in "The Dialectical Development of Ancient Characters": "When did the origin of Chinese characters begin? In my opinion, this can be used as an indicator of the age of the Banpo Village site in Xi'an. "The Banpo site is about 6,000 years old. The Banpo site is a typical example of the Yangshao culture in the Neolithic Age", "There are always some simple carvings similar to the text on the Banpo painted pottery, which are different from the patterns on the vessel. "Although the meaning of the inscription has not yet been clarified, it is undoubtedly a symbol of a literal nature.

It is safe to say that it is the origin of Chinese writing, or the relics of the original Chinese writing. In this way, Chinese civilization should be counted as nearly 6,000 years. When did Chinese writing originate?

When was the oldest writing produced? What do they mean? No agreement has yet been reached, and a large amount of material is needed to illustrate it.

The needs of production and life.

The notes of the transaction, the notes of the distribution are generated by the need for words.

The worship of nature requires written records of great events.

From the ancient legend of Cangjie to the discovery of the oracle bone inscription more than 100 years ago, Chinese scholars have been committed to unraveling the mystery of the origin of Chinese characters. Regarding the origin of Chinese characters, there are various sayings in ancient Chinese literature, such as "knotted rope", "gossip", "pictures", "book deeds", etc., and the legend of the Yellow Emperor's historian Cangjie making characters is also widely recorded in ancient books. Modern scholars believe that a systematic writing tool cannot be created entirely by a single person, and that Cangjie, if there is one, should be the compiler or promulgator of the text.

came a sentence that the giant curtain does not boast of the sneaky army.

At the beginning of the word, it was seen in the Shang Dynasty oracle bone inscription and the Shang Dynasty gold inscription, and its ancient character shape resembles grass and trees just germinating on the ground. "In" and "cai" were the same word at the earliest, and Jin Wen added "soil" next to it to become "in". "In" means to exist, generally refers to existence, and by extension, refers to staying or being in a certain place, and by extension, refers to living in a certain position or being in a certain state.

In "blurred as a preposition, refers to the time, place, scope, etc. of the act. The word "in" can also be used as an adverb after being blurred, indicating that an action or thing is in progress.

Chinese characters: Chinese characters, also known as Chinese, Chinese characters, also known as square characters, are record symbols of Chinese, and belong to the morpheme syllabic script of ideograms. One of the oldest written languages in the world, more than 6,000 years old.

In terms of form, it gradually changes from a figure to a stroke, a pictogram to a symbol, and a complex to simple; In the principle of word making, from the form, ideogram to shape and sound. Except for a very few Chinese characters (such as 瓩, 兛, 兣, 呎, 嗧, etc.), they are all one Chinese character and one syllable. It should be noted that Japan, the Korean Peninsula, Vietnam and other countries have been deeply influenced by Han culture in history, and even their languages have borrowed Chinese language and writing.

Modern Chinese characters refer to the regular block shape of Chinese characters after italization, including traditional and simplified characters. Modern Chinese characters have evolved from oracle bone scripts, golden scripts, large seals (籀文), small seals, to official scripts, cursive scripts, regular scripts, and line scripts. Chinese characters were invented, created and improved by the ancestors of the Han nationality, and are an indispensable link to maintain the dialect areas of the Han nationality.

The earliest surviving Chinese characters are the oracle bone inscription of the Yin Shang dynasty in about 1300 BC and the later Jin inscription, which evolved into the Zhou script in the Western Zhou Dynasty, then to the small seal and official script of the Qin Dynasty, to the prevalence of the official script of the Han and Wei dynasties, and to the end of the Han Dynasty. Regular script prevailed in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and is still in use.

People Ren (pictographic oracle bone glyphs, like a humanoid figure standing on the side "human" is one of the radical meanings of China: ...Please ask about the nature and use of the make tool to transform the language of higher animals).

People "skim and pinch a pinch, apostrophe is a good trick, and a pinch is a weakness." It tells us that no one is perfect. neither complacent, nor blind greatness, nor ashamed, nor self-esteem.

It is beneficial, and we should rely on its strength and the weakness of the body's balance to constantly learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses and improve self-learning.

People "have to write, write representative, represent the flick of the tail of knowledge." It tells us that a real person should be the perfect unity of "** voice" and "Kecai market". Noble character and profound knowledge are not only in the wings of take-off, but also in the lifelong struggle and pursuit.

Just before merging the "people", fork down. It vividly tells us that there are many crossroads in life. Some lead to success, some leaders fail; Some lead the light, some lead into the darkness. We have to take it seriously and make use of it.

People "write in one stroke, support each other, support each other. It tells us that people who should help each other. I'm helping people to help me, a little more kindness, more love, so that the world is full of love, and humanity has a better future.

For the record, the word comes.

Because there have been words since ancient times. It's just a word created by Cangjie.

Hieroglyphs. Oracle glyphs. The middle is like a vein of water, and the sides are like flowing water.

"水" is a radical of the Chinese character. From the word water, or the name of the river or water conservancy, or the flow of water, or the nature and state of water. Original meaning:

A liquid that falls from the clouds in the form of rain, colorless, odorless, and transparent, forming rivers, lakes, and oceans. In the early days of civilization, people began to form or classify various things in the world, and water played an important role in it. Among the four elements proposed by the ancient West is water; The four major ones in Buddhism also have water; In the ancient Chinese doctrine of the Five Elements, water represented all liquids, as well as things with fluid, wet, and yin properties.

"Light" in the oracle bone inscription, the top is a puff of fire, the bottom is like a kneeling person, the whole is a bit like a miner with a miner's lamp, this may be an ancient maid with a fire candle to illuminate the master, or it may be a figurative fire to grow limbs and become a fire spirit, it stops**,**There is light, or rather, the word itself is a lamp. To sum up, the interpretation is the meaning of light.

Shape sound. The word from the water, from each, from the sound of each. "Each" means "a substance that grows on its own and spreads all over it."

"Water" refers to water vapor. The combination of "water" and "each" means "a body of water that can transpirate and diffuse water vapor". Original meaning:

A body of water that diffuses water vapor through transpiration.

There are two main questions about the origin of Chinese writing:

One is the founders of writing and the times in which they lived.

Many scholars have different theories, but they all believe that this time is roughly equivalent to the legendary beginning of the Five Emperors period to the Three Emperors period.

The second is the method or way of creating words.

On this issue, scholars throughout the ages have expressed their opinions and lack consensus, including:

1. The text originates from the knotted rope. It is believed that the writing was created under the inspiration of the knotted rope rule in ancient times.

2. Words begin with gossip. It is believed that the text is produced from the hexagram of Yi, such as the Qiangua is the sky, the Kun hexagram is the earth, the Kan hexagram is water, and the Ligua is fire.

3, Cangjie looks at the turtle as a book. It is believed that Cangjie was inspired by the spirit turtle to create the text.

4. Words and pictures have the same origin. It is believed that calligraphy and painting have different names and are the same, and in the early days of writing, calligraphy is also painting, and painting is also calligraphy.

5. Words are derived from pictures. It is believed that the two do not have different origins, the picture comes first, the text comes later, and the text is produced on the basis of the picture.

6. Writing originates from the social practice of the ancestors. It is believed that the production of writing is directly derived from the primitive method of memorization.

7. Chinese characters are Western. It is believed that Chinese writing came from West Asia or Egypt.

There is still no broad consensus in contemporary academic circles on which view of the origin of writing is.
