[Writer's Press] The boy is not talented, the pen name is not two fat three, friends can call me fat three, I have been doing text-related work for many years, working for many years, more and more feel familiar with those Chinese characters more and more flavorful, long aftertaste, all thanks to our ancestors, to create such a beautiful text. This series is just my personal feeling and understanding, if there is anything wrong, please use Wada Yu to smash my bricks!
The plan of the year is spring
When he returned to the earth in the spring of the year of Renyin
Let's start by recognizing the word "spring."
The earliest texts in which Chinese characters appeared were on tortoise shells and animal bones
(Interjection: Oracle bones are currently preserved, can become an independent and complete writing system, other pottery rock paintings can only be counted as symbols)
The so-called tortoiseshell is the thick shell of the turtle
Animal bones are the bones left behind by people eating meat at that time
Therefore, the earliest Chinese characters are also called oracle bones
To interject, why use tortoiseshell
Fat Three speculates
Mainly because the divine turtle in the book of Hetuluo is too significant to the Chinese nation, and it is introduced separately
Image note: Oracle on the bones of the beast
Let's first look at the way the spring character is written in the oracle bone. At present, we can find the following ways to write the spring in the oracle bone:
Different ways to write spring characters in oracle bones
Oracle bones are hieroglyphs, and we can draw a picture of the earliest words.
Look at the picture to speak
The first and most important symbol is the circle in the center of the dot, representing the sun,
This is also the most important structure of this word,
That is to say, the most important symbolic part of the word spring is actually the sun.
This is easy to understand, the ancient times without air conditioning and no heating were too cold, and people desperately needed warmth
Spring returns to the earth, and the sun finally brings warmth back to the world
The spring breeze sends warmth into Tusu, and the ancients relied on the sky to eat, that is, to eat by the sun
The observation of the sun is the most obvious perception of warmth, so the biggest feature of spring is spring warmth
(In ancient texts, there is a little in the circle, which represents a very important mark)
The second element of the spring character is grass and trees
The sun warms up, and the yang between heaven and earth begins to gradually rise
The earth began to warm up and began to give birth to life
The yang in life also begins to echo the natural yang and begins to grow
This is like the grass and trees surrounding the sun in the picture
The number of different oracle letters varies, the most common version is two grasses, there are also three grasses, three representing all things
It means that after the spring returns to the earth, the grass and trees begin to change, and everything grows
Therefore, the ancients said that a grass knows spring, and a leaf knows autumn
So "Speaking of Texts and Words" says, Spring, push also! Spring drives the growth of all things
"Erya Shi Tian" says that spring is Qingyang, spring is happening, and spring and autumn are flourishing.
Qingyang, the ancients interpreted as qiqing and warm yang
The ancients not only observed that the sun became warmer, but also saw the growth of yang qi, and the qi turned cyan
The third element is like a curved bud that has just emerged from the horizon
It heralds the beginning of the revival of all things, and the slow gestation and growth of life
Although spring has come, there is a slow process from the bud of life to the bloom
It also means that new life has just begun
As for the number of plants and trees changed from more to one, it was only for the convenience and beauty of writing
The basic meaning of spring is that the sun brings warmth to people again
The grass and trees began to come alive, and new life began to be nurtured
So spring also represents hope
Spring is coming, and all hope is coming
Next, let's look at the way the word "chun" is written in the golden text of the late Shang Dynasty and the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty
Jinwen: Spring characters
In the golden script, the grass that represents the growth of all things is placed on it
The symbol that represents the embryonic state evolved into the tun character
According to Fat San,Fernande
Because King Wen of Zhou Chu deduced the sixty-four gua, Tun, in Zhou Yi represents "spring thunder to shock all things"
It represents the corresponding Heavenly Dao of all things, and the yang qi in the body begins to sprout
And all plant growth, are Mr. root, and then germinate, building a house is also the first foundation
The ancients also observed that plants took root very hard downwards, and life extended downwards in the soil
The spring sun is on the top, the yang is on the earth, and life is taking root downwards
So the sun is under the sun also
Xu Shen wrote Chun also in the "Explanation of Words and Characters", from The Yin, from the Sun, tun sheng
Even the pitch of the word chun comes from the word 屯
This is also the wisdom left to us by our ancestors
Spring is the time to sow hope
It's time for our careers to put our dreams in root
Only by laying the foundation well can we thrive
This is also the origin of the phrase "the plan of the year lies in the spring"
Next, let's look at the way the spring characters are written in the small seal
In the small seal, the spring character is basically in the same vein as in the golden text, and there is basically no big change
however
In the process of changing from the small seal to the Lishu, and then to the letter, the spring characters have changed a lot
The part above that represents the meaning and meaning of the word "" has become the spring word head ""
Letter: Spring
"It's like a group of people singing and dancing in celebration."
Then possibly
In the spring, human tribes hold ceremonies to celebrate spring
Then the two are combined into one word
This represents the joy that spring brings to people
As "Erya" says: Spring, joy is also, so born
Spring Festival
Today,200, we re-understand the past and present life of the spring character, which is more helpful for us to understand the meaning and meaning of the word
The earliest words extended from the spring word are spring, spring festival, spring day, spring wind, spring river, spring tide and so on
It is basically to describe the scenery and changes of nature in spring
Of course, spring can also be further extended to represent vitality, represent new hope, and new beginnings
The group of words has youth, and there is a year of strategy in spring
I hope that all the big friends and children will not live up to the spring light and pursue our dreams
