Analysis of real words in classical Chinese, interpretation skills of real words in classical Chines

Classical Chinese is an ancient Chinese script with high historical and literary value. Many scholars often encounter unfamiliar vocabulary when studying classical Chinese, which makes it impossible for them to accurately understand ancient texts. In this article, we will introduce several techniques for explaining the actual words of classical Chinese to help readers better understand classical Chinese.

1. Check the meaning of the word.

One of the important characteristics of classical Chinese is that there are multiple layers of word meanings, and each word may have many different interpretations, and even the combination of other words will produce new meanings. Therefore, when reading classical Chinese, you need to pay attention to the meaning of each word.

Some words may have obvious meanings, such as "big", "small", "more", "less", etc. However, the meaning of some words may be difficult to understand, such as "矝", "Zhi", "翿", etc. These rare words can be parsed by seeking professional knowledge or looking through relevant dictionaries and reference books.

2. Ask for context.

Context is also very important when understanding classical Chinese. In classical Chinese, the sentence structure is more complex, and it often needs to be combined with the context to understand the meaning of the sentence or even the meaning of a word.

Therefore, if you encounter a word you don't understand, you can look for hints in the context. Looking at the sentences before and after them, as well as the overall meaning of the paragraph, can often uncover clues that can lead to the actual meaning of a word.

3. With the help of language sense.

Classical Chinese is a polysyllabic language with certain regularities in phonetics, intonation, and tone. Therefore, when understanding classical Chinese, the meaning of words can be inferred in combination with the sense of language.

For example, "Mumu" and "Oi Oi", although the meaning of these words cannot be directly known, a certain subtle and quiet feeling can be inferred from the similar pronunciation of these two words. Similarly, the meaning of words that resemble sounds can be inferred based on the rhythm and relevant background knowledge.

Conclusion Classical Chinese is an ancient Chinese script, and its multi-layered and complex vocabulary curves make it difficult. However, the efficiency of reading classical Chinese can be effectively improved by using real-word interpretation techniques such as searching for the meaning of words, asking for context, and using the sense of language.

Finally, it is recommended that readers read more ancient classics and accumulate some vocabulary and reading skills, so that they can gradually master classical Chinese.

In our daily study, we should pay attention to the study of real words and imaginary words, implement the meaning and usage of words one by one, and then grasp the characteristics of literary sentences. The following are several methods for inferring the meaning of actual words in Wenyan.

1.Derive the meaning of words from the glyph.

Among Chinese characters, morphophonetic characters account for the majority. The phonetic characters are divided into two parts, the phonetic and the symbol, in which the symbols provide the conditions for us to infer the meaning of the words. For example:

樯橹 is in ashes", in which we know that the "橹" is a wooden "boat tool", and we don't understand the "樯", but we know that "樯" from the "wood", and the word "橹" is combined into a word, all belong to the ship, we can infer that "樯橹" has the meaning of "boat", and uses the figure of speech borrowed from it.

2.Derive the meaning of the word from the fake word.

The common and false characters in classical Chinese are an obstacle to straighten out the sentences, but we can introduce the original characters as long as we follow the rules of the common and false characters. Meaning comes. For example, "the army is not immediately profitable", and the "ton" is understood as "tired", it becomes "** can achieve complete victory without fatigue", the meaning is obviously incomprehensible, and the meaning of "ton" has become the key to understanding the whole sentence.

At this time, if we think of the word "blunt" which means "not sharp" according to the law of homophonic similarity and fakeness, we can translate the whole sentence as "(without fighting)** is still very sharp and the victory can be completely achieved", and the meaning of the sentence will be smooth and clear.

3.Derive the meaning of words based on their structure.

There is a law to follow in the word formation of Chinese, and the meaning of words can be inferred by following its word formation method. For example, the phrase "save the compassionate in "the people are rich but do not know how to save the compassionate compassionate relationship" is a juxtaposition of the phrase. As long as we know that "compassion" has the meaning of "mercy", then "save" is synonymous with it, and it has the meaning of "appeasement" that is related to "compassion".

Another example is that the "survival" in the "Principle of Survival" is an antithetic juxtaposition, and "survival" has the meaning of "survival".

4.Infer the meaning of words according to intertextuality.

The combination of intertextuality is a common phenomenon in ancient Chinese. For example, "the exit of the land, the exhaustion of the house", the "殚" and "exhaustion" here are intertextual. If we know that "exhaustion" means "exhaustion", we can infer that the meaning of "殚" is also exhaustion.

5.Infer the meaning of the word by the text.

In a sentence, if the meaning of the expression is opposite to each other, the word used by one party constitutes the opposite of the other. For example: "I try to think all day long, it is better to learn what I have to learn."

We know "all day" and "time". It is an antonym couplet, so that it can be deduced from the meaning that "day" is "all day, long time", and the meaning of "Xu Xuan" is "short time".

Summary: The key to answering the questions of the classical Chinese test is to have a firm grasp of the classical Chinese and cultivate the comprehensive ability of analysis and judgment on this basis. Words with lexical and grammatical meaning are real words that cannot be used as syntactic components, and those with only grammatical meaning are virtual words.
