养 🔊

网络内容摘要 (Web Content Summary):

养（繁体：養），本义为“供养、抚养”，在《说文解字》中解释为“供养也”。 养 (traditional: 養) primarily means “to provide for, to raise, to nurture.” In the classic dictionary Shuo Wen Jie Zi, it is explained as “to support or provide for.”

该字来源于战国时期的简牍文字，最早由“食”（食物）旁加“羊”表声音，属于形声字。 The character originated in the Warring States period scripts, combining the radical “食” (food) and a phonetic part “羊” (sheep). It’s a phono-semantic compound.

字形演变：由篆书发展而来，现代简体为“养”，繁体为“養”。 Evolution: The character evolved from seal script into its modern forms: the simplified “养” and traditional “養”.
