One Chinese character a day – a book

The book shū, written with a pen, is the book. Compiling what you have written into a book is the book you are reading now.

Today we come to know the word shū.

【Glyph evolution】

The person, which is both the sound side and the shape side, is the omission of "箸", indicating bamboo chopsticks. Book, oracle bone (also, grasping) (half a "bamboo", bamboo pipe, borrowed from a brush made of bamboo pipe and animal hair) (add a little finger symbol in the circle, indicating the circle painting), indicating holding a brush in hand, writing and painting. Jin Wen wrote the hand-held brush in the oracle bone glyph into a hybrid type of "Nie". Some jinwen uses "者" (the omission of "箸", chopsticks) instead of the circle painting, indicating that chopsticks are used to write with water. The seal text refers to the "person" in the golden glyph.

The original meaning of the word: verb, hand brush, writing and drawing. The Lishu writes the seal in the glyph and the form in the seal glyph. The colloquial lishu continues the simplified gold glyph. In the "Chinese Character Simplification Scheme", the simplified italic script is simplified as a whole according to the cursive glyph. In Chinese, "Wen" and "Book" both indicate font types, but the meaning is different: "Wen" is a pictorial ideographic symbol carved out with a knife, with a strong sense of image; "Book" is an ideographic symbol written with a soft pen, usually regular and abstract. Therefore, there are names of "oracle bone" and "golden text", there is no "oracle bone book" and "golden book"; there is a "lishu" and "kaishu", there is no "liwen" and "kaiwen"; and the seal symbols are both depicted with knives and described with pens, so they can be called both "seal script" and "seal book".

【The Story of the Word】

Reading books

Ming Yu Qian

The books are amorous like the old people, and the morning and evening are sad and happy every blind date.

Three thousand words went straight down in front of his eyes, and there was no dust on his chest.

The living water source is full everywhere, and the east wind flowers and willows are new every time.

Jin Anyule looked for Fangke, but did not believe that I had no spring in Lu.

Translation: My feelings for books are like friends for many years, whether it is early morning or evening sadness or happiness is always accompanied by it. After browsing through countless words in front of me, there was no longer a hint of earthly worldly distractions in my chest. Fresh ideas are constantly pouring inexhaustible, like flowers and willows in the east wind. Straddling the golden saddle, the magnates sighed that it was difficult to find them, and they did not believe that there was no spring scene in this study.

Interpretation: The Tang Dynasty implemented the imperial examination, but in the Ming Dynasty, the imperial examination entered the later stage, many people will read as a stepping stone, as long as they knock on the door of being an official, they will spend their minds on how to promote officials and get rich, and they are no longer interested in books. Yu Qian's love for reading is extraordinary, he loves to read, has developed the habit of reading, and knows the benefits of reading. In the face of the official vice of giving up books after achieving the goal of being an official, Yu Qian, who loves to read, expresses his chest and criticizes the current situation of reading.

The poem praises the benefits of books and is extremely interesting to write about. The author Yu Qian was a famous national hero and poet of the Ming Dynasty, with a straight nature and erudition. This poem writes the poet's self-experience of reading, expressing his love for reading, elegant in meaning, straightforward in style, reasonable and convincing, quite infectious.
