At the beginning of the new year, followed by our "Shuowen Jiezi" course, this lesson talks about a Chinese character "and", "and" in modern Chinese and "Shuowen Jiezi • Spoon Department" and "merged into simplified characters" and ", "and" is a common word in modern Chinese, included in the "List of Common Words in Modern Chinese" promulgated by the State Language Commission in 1988, the usage is very complicated, and "and" is mostly used as a virtual word, so the content of this lesson is relatively boring. Details are as follows:
And (and, for convenience, the text uses the abbreviation "and"unless necessary). There are four pronunciations:
(i) yǔ. This is the pronunciation of the Zhonghua Book Company's Zhuyin edition of the Shuowen Jiezi, and the explanation given is: "And, the party and also." From scoop, from with. Xu Shen believes that it is a word of meaning. The original meaning is the party and the group. Duan Yujie's "Notes on the Interpretation of The Text": "Will be intentional, and also with it." In its glyphs, "舁" is a co-lift, "and" is a give, and together they will mean to lift together and also with it. Zhu Junsheng believes that "and" is a shape sound word, and the "Saying Of The Text" is "with the sound". It is believed that "and" also expresses the voice, and "舁" means to be a common move, and by extension there is a "crowd" meaning, so the party is trained. Li Xueqin edited "Etymology" Li Shoukui believes that it is a "two-tone character". Because "舁" and "with" both sound. In fact, "and" and "with" were differentiated in the Warring States glyphs, and eventually in the Han Dynasty, they were divided into "and" and "and". Modern Chinese simplified and merged into one character, "and".

(The differentiation of harmony and harmony in Etymology)
We think that Xu Shen's explanation is more reasonable, believing that "and" is a ideographic word, and the original meaning is the party and the group. Duan Yujie's Commentary on the Interpretation of The Text: "The 'party' is regarded as 'grab'. '攩', Pengqun also ("Sayings"). 'and' as 'with'. 'And', 賜予也. Wang Yun's "Reading of Sayings and Sentences": "Borrowing the party as a proponent is also common according to the classics." According to Duan Yujue, "party" is a false loan word for "grab." "History of Zhang Er Chen Yu Lie": "If the enemy is many, the strength is divided, and the army is strong with the many." "The more enemies it (the Qin state) is, the more dispersed its forces will be, and the more our friends (henchmen) are, the stronger the troops will be." The Book of Han and the Biography of wu wuzi: "Qunchen Lian and Chengpeng." Yan Shigu's note: "And, the party and also." "But the group of courtiers made friends and formed friends.
(The plague of "friends" in ancient times)
In addition to the original meaning, there are many more uses of "and":
(1) Allies; friendly countries. "Xunzi Kingship": "The king seizes the man, the hegemony of the he, the land of the robbery." Yang Liang's note: "And, with the country." "Those who want to claim the throne of the world compete with other countries for the people, those who want to dominate the princes compete with other countries for allies, and only those who want to be strong compete with other countries for land." Also referred to as friendly; allied. "Warring States Policy And Qi Ce II": "Han Qi is with the country." "South Korea and the State of Qi are allied countries.
