"Sanda Kanji 21| Yu": To explain words, we must not forget the original meaning of the words

author:Fei Ge notes

"Yu", looking at various explanations, the explanation is not very appropriate. The meaning of a word should have its original meaning, rather than explaining the meaning of the word in the words of each group of words, so that a word has N meanings.

"Yu" - that is, the meaning of more, more and more, for its extension. Therefore, all the group words related to "Yu" are formed into sentences, which mean "many". Negative, multi-product meaning. For example, depressed is a state of being more stuffy and piled up; being depressed is a state of being angry and piled up. There is no need to explain the meaning of the word in the context, so many words with "Yu", where can you remember the meaning of "Yu" in each word. It is only necessary to remember that "yu" means more, more is stacked together, and then according to the context in each sentence, it can be concluded which word is more appropriate to interpret the "more" of "yu".

"Yu Yu Wen Cai" means that there are many literary styles, and when explained, it can be said that the literary style is natural and the literary style is remarkable.

"Lush and green", that is, a lot of green, explained, can be said to be full of verdant gardens, pleasant spring colors; can be said to be full of greenery, the sky is high clouds.

For another example, "depressed", the basic explanation: refers to the appearance of troubles, but also can mean lush, trees and other flourishing appearance, or tall appearance, and or full appearance, or beautiful appearance, or fragrant appearance, or dense appearance, or flourishing appearance, or high appearance, or long-distance appearance, or melancholy appearance. So many explanations, not professional research on Chinese characters, may not be able to remember few. In fact, secondary explanations like this are superfluous. The context in which "Yuran" is used explains what it means. And its original meaning is more. "Yuran", which is interpreted as "fragrant and heavy". Song Ouyang Xiu's Guitian Record, Volume II: "Every morning when he rises up, he will see things, and he will burn two pieces of incense, cover them with public clothes, and pluck his sleeves to come out." Sit still, spread your sleeves, and fill the room with a strong fragrance. "Yuran full of room fragrant", is the meaning of a lot of incense, thick, full of room, yuran, are the meaning of more, here "yuran", is the meaning of more, even need to do a separate "aromatic appearance" of the superfluous note ah. Ming Wang Shizhen "Wanwei Yu Compilation": "Fate rolls the curtain, then the fragrance comes out from the inside, and it is full of depression." Among them, "incense comes out from the inside, and sat full of incense", that is, there is a lot of incense, so full sitting, this already has the situation of incense, and the meaning of incense is more, not the meaning of strong aroma, but the meaning of thickness. Therefore, the text is explained too much, but it loses its original meaning, not only can not remember, but also can not make their own words. Ancient compositions, single-word group words, and cher coined words, so new words are repeated; today it is impossible to create words, just caught in excessive interpretation, just to create some inexplicable departure from the law of Chinese character word creation, such as "unclear consciousness", it is really ignorant, posterity sees it, to blame the present people are not as good as the ancients. If you can't correctly understand the original meaning of Chinese characters, you will lose the use of Chinese characters as a single word, which can also be described as a clear proof that today's people have no contribution to Chinese characters, or it is also a drawback of vernacular language.

When "Yu" is used for negative purposes, in order to solve "Yu", it must be reversed, that is, it must not be "more" and not "piled up". "Melancholy" means that there are many "worries" and are piled up together, and the solution is to make the "worries" decrease or disappear; "depression" means that there are many "depressions", piled up, and the solution is to let the "depression" decrease or disappear. "Depressed" means that there are many "stuffy", and the solution is to make the "stuffy" reduce or disappear. Chinese characters are broad and profound, often in a word, pointing out the problem and providing solutions, which is the charm and magic of Chinese characters.
