含义与用法 (Meanings & Usage)

中文核心释义 (Core Chinese Meaning): 什么,用于疑问;表示原因、数量等;也作姓氏。

英文核心释义 (Core English Meaning): what; why; how; used as an interrogative word; also a surname.

在现代汉语中,“何”常用作书面语,用于疑问,如“为何(为什么)”、“何时(什么时候)”;比日常的‘什么’更书面、正式。作为姓氏比较常见,例如“何先生”。 In modern Chinese, '何' is mostly used in written or formal contexts as an interrogative word for 'what', 'why', or 'how', such as in '为何' (why), '何时' (when), etc. It is more formal than '什么'. It is also a common Chinese surname (e.g., Mr. He).

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

“何”由“亻”(表示人)与“可”(有口、能说之意)组成,象征人发问、追究之意,是一个会意字。'何' is composed of '亻' (a person) and '可' (which includes 'mouth', representing ability to speak), symbolizing someone asking or inquiring; thus, it is an ideogram.

文言文释义 (Classical Chinese Meaning)

文言文中多用于疑问句,意义与现代用法相近,如“何以”“为何”“何人”。Mostly used in interrogative sentences in Classical Chinese with a meaning similar to its modern usage, such as in '何以' (by what means), '为何' (why), and '何人' (who).

字源故事 (Origin Story)

“何”字最早出现在甲骨文,是一个会意字。左边是“亻”(人),右边是“可”,表示人的嘴巴能够发问,结合起来有“人发问”之意。后演变为作为疑问代词使用。The character '何' first appeared in Oracle Bone Script as an ideogram. The left part is '亻' (person), while the right part is '可' (mouth—symbolizing the ability to speak or ask). Combined, it suggests a person asking questions, thus used as an interrogative pronoun.

字形演变 (Character Evolution)

甲骨文 (Oracle Bone Script):
甲骨文中的“何”较为简略,左侧有人形符号,右侧类似“可”的象形,代表人体和发问的动作。 In Oracle Bone Script, '何' is simplified; the left shows a person, and the right resembles the shape of '可', indicating a person and the act of asking.
金文 (Bronze Inscription):
金文中的“何”结构更为清晰,左边为‘人’,右部‘可’已经较为明显,字形更加规整。 In Bronze Inscription, the structure of '何' becomes clearer: the left side is 'person' and the right 'ke' component is recognizable, with a more regular overall form.
小篆 (Small Seal Script):
小篆中的“何”结构修长且连续,‘亻’和‘可’部件分明,线条流畅。 In Small Seal Script, '何' becomes more elongated and connected; the '亻' and '可' parts are distinct with smoother lines.
隶书 (Clerical Script):
隶书中“何”的笔画变宽,结构更平展,成为现代“何”的基础。 In Clerical Script, '何' has broader strokes and a more extended structure, serving as the foundation for the modern character.
楷书 (现代) (Regular Script (Modern)):
现代楷书中“何”为‘亻’和‘可’的组合,结构清晰,书写规范。 In modern Regular Script, '何' is a clear combination of '亻' and '可', with a standardized and easy-to-write structure.
