Lesson 481 of the "Explanation of Words and Characters": Why is the traditional "響" of "Xiang" composed of "township and sound"

Then, in our "Explanation of Characters in Speaking Texts" course, this lesson talks about the two Chinese characters in the "Yin" section: "響、韽". Among them, the character "響" is simplified to "Xiang" in modern Chinese, and "Xiang" is a common chinese character in modern Chinese, which is included in the "List of Common Words in Modern Chinese" promulgated by the State Language Commission in 1988, which is the key Chinese character in this lesson. The details of the two words are as follows:

1. Ring (ring). Read xiǎng. The explanation given by the "Explanation of Words" is: "Sound, sound also." From the sound, the country sound. "Shape sound word. The original meaning is (sound) echo. The explanation of "sound" in the Shuowen Jiezi is very simple, saying that it is "sound also." But in fact, "sound" is not the same as "sound". As I said in the previous lesson, there is a difference between "sound", "sound", and "music".

"Jade Chapter, Sound Department": "Ring, respond to the sound." Xu Kai's "Biography of the Shuowen System": "There is a sound outside the sound." "The sound of the sound is like the shape of the shadow, so in the text, the sound and the township are the sound." Township Yu Xiang also. In the vernacular, the ancients believed that "sound" is actually "echo", and "sound" is attached to "sound", just like the shadow is attached to the form, so the words "sound and township" are combined to "sound". "Sound" is the source of "sound" and the "hometown" of "sound". Therefore, the word "響" is composed of two parts: "township" and "sound".

(Alarm goes off)

That is to say, the word "sound", in the "traditional character" - "響" - well reflects the meaning of "sound", which is both a shape sound word, and "鄕" as a sound side, is obviously also "sound in the meaning".

"Yi Zhi Zhi Shang": "It is that a gentleman will have a deed, and he will have a deed." When asked and spoken, his command was also loud. Therefore, the gentleman will have a deed, and when he acts, he will inquire into the "Zheng Gua", and the "Yi" will respond with the auspicious words of the sixty-four gua, that is, the words of the Ji Ji Ji, and will be guided by the Yi Dao, such as the "sound" of the "sound". "Wenxin Carved Dragon Yuandao": "Mu Duo enlightens and responds to thousands of miles, And Xi Zhen flows and resounds in the world." "(Confucius's indoctrination) is like the sound of a wooden duo, corresponding to a thousand miles, (Confucius's thought) is like a treasure circulating, passed down from generation to generation.

"Ring" can also refer to sound in general. For example: loud; ringing through the clouds. Ming Dynasty Wang Shizhen's "Ming Feng Ji Fangyi": "There is snoring", snoring, is the sound of snoring.

The fifty-fourth time in "Dream of the Red Chamber": "Jia Mu ordered some soups, fruits and vegetables to be eaten with civil officials, etc., and then ordered the drum to be sounded." ”

Pei Songzhi's note quotes from the Book of Shu: "Ai Bao Shuyun: "The command of the command comes to march, and Si Wen Jiaxiang." It also refers to the meaning contained in words.

There is a sound in the words here, which means that the words have a profound meaning.

Here, the "lower sound", Zhu Junsheng's "Speaking Of Wentong Training And Fixing The Sound": "It is said that its voice is issued."
