含义与用法 (Meanings & Usage)

中文核心释义 (Core Chinese Meaning): 雕、切、割、记时的单位（十五分钟），也有严厉、苛刻的意思

英文核心释义 (Core English Meaning): to carve, cut, engrave; a quarter of an hour; also means harsh or severe

“刻”常用于表示用刀雕刻如‘刻字’、‘刻画’，在时间上表示‘一刻’为十五分钟，如‘三点一刻’（3:15），同时也有‘苛刻’‘刻薄’等引申含义。 '刻' is often used to mean carving or engraving (as in 'carve a character'), and as a measurement of time ('one quarter', e.g., 3:15 as 'three o'clock and one quarter'). It can also mean 'severe' or 'harsh' in an extended sense (as in '刻薄': mean or harsh).

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

“刻”是会意字，左边的‘亥’曾表示被刻的物体，右边的‘刂’表示刀，整体表示用刀在物体上刻划。后来也引申为时间单位（因古人用刻痕计时），以及刻薄的引申义。'刻' is a compound ideogram. The left '亥' originally represented the object being carved, and the right '刂' means knife; together, they signify carving with a knife. It later extended its meaning to divisions of time (as ancient people marked time by carving notches), and to describe harsh or strict manners.

文言文释义 (Classical Chinese Meaning)

与现代意义相近，主要指雕刻、割，也常用作时间单位。Similar to modern meaning, mainly referring to carving/cutting, also frequently used as a time unit.

字源故事 (Origin Story)

“刻”字最早见于甲骨文，由“刂”（刀）和“亥”两部分组成，表示用刀在物体上雕刻。最初用于记录和装饰，暗示着一种用刀子刻划的动作。The character '刻' was first seen in oracle bone script, made up of '刂' (knife) and '亥'. It originally depicted the act of carving or engraving onto objects with a knife, indicating both recording and decorating actions.

字形演变 (Character Evolution)

甲骨文 (Oracle Bone Script):
甲骨文中“刻”的形体像一只手持刀在刻划物体，刀和被刻之物结合，形象表现出雕刻的动作。 In Oracle Bone Script, the form of '刻' resembles a hand holding a knife carving something, with both the knife and the object combined to vividly convey the carving action.
金文 (Bronze Inscription):
金文的“刻”形体更趋于规范，刀和被刻物部分较为突出，结构更整齐清晰。 In Bronze Inscription, the '刻' character becomes more standardized, with the knife and the carved object components more prominent and the overall structure clearer.
小篆 (Small Seal Script):
小篆中的“刻”字形更加细长、曲线优美，左右结构分明，‘亥’与‘刂’已正式组合。 In Small Seal Script, the '刻' character appears more slender and graceful, with a clear distinction between the left ('亥') and right ('刂') components.
隶书 (Clerical Script):
隶书时代，“刻”字的笔画变得更平直，左右结构拉开，逐渐接近现代汉字的样貌。 In Clerical Script, the strokes of '刻' become straighter, the structure expands, bringing it closer to the modern character’s form.
楷书 (现代) (Regular Script (Modern)):
现代楷书中，“刻”字由‘亥’和‘刂’组成，结构端正，笔画工整，便于书写和识别。 In modern Regular Script, '刻' is composed of '亥' and '刂', with a well-balanced structure and neat strokes, making it easy to write and recognize.

He immediately carved a mark on the boat, believing he could retrieve the sword at that spot upon landing. He failed to realize the boat (and mark) moved while the sword had sunk elsewhere. This idiom satirizes inflexibility and not adapting to changing circumstances.
