英文核心释义 (Core English Meaning): crow; black (color).

“乌”常用作名词,表示乌鸦等黑色的鸟类,在现代汉语中也常用作形容词,表示黑色,如“乌云”(黑色的云)。此外,还用于专有名词,例如“乌克兰”。 '乌' is mainly used as a noun to mean 'crow' or other black birds. In modern Chinese, it can also function as an adjective meaning 'black' (as in '乌云' – dark clouds). It appears in proper nouns as well, like the country name '乌克兰' (Ukraine).

象形意义 / 为何这么写 (Pictographic Meaning / Writing Rationale)

字源故事 (Origin Story)

“乌”字最早见于甲骨文,原意为黑色的鸟,尤其指乌鸦。古人认为乌鸦身体通体黑色,因此用来表示黑色。其字形通常描绘一只鸟,没有眼睛,以与“鸟”字区分。The character '乌' first appeared in oracle bone inscriptions and originally referred to a black bird, especially the crow. Ancient Chinese associated crows with the color black, so '乌' also came to symbolize blackness. The early forms depicted a bird without an eye, distinguishing it from the character '鸟' (bird).

字形演变 (Character Evolution)

甲骨文 (Oracle Bone Script):
甲骨文中的“乌”字形,如一只身体简略、无眼睛的鸟,突出表现出鸟形。 In Oracle Bone Script, '乌' resembles a simplified bird form without an eye, emphasizing its avian shape.
金文 (Bronze Inscription):
金文的“乌”线条更加流畅,依然表现出鸟的轮廓,并刻意省略了鸟眼。 In Bronze Inscriptions, '乌' is drawn with smoother lines, retaining the outline of a bird and deliberately omitting the bird's eye.
小篆 (Small Seal Script):
小篆的“乌”结构更规整,鸟体伸展,仍无眼睛,字形与“鸟”进一步区分。 In Small Seal Script, '乌' takes on a more regular and elongated bird-like structure, still lacking an eye to distinguish it from '鸟'.
隶书 (Clerical Script):
隶书的“乌”字变得平直,笔画简化,鸟的形态趋于符号化。 In Clerical Script, '乌' becomes flatter with simplified strokes, and the shape of the bird becomes more stylized.
楷书 (现代) (Regular Script (Modern)):
现代楷书中“乌”字结构紧凑,形体接近现在的书写形式,依然无眼。 In modern Regular Script, '乌' has a compact structure similar to the current form and still lacks an eye.
