含义与用法 (Meanings & Usage)

中文核心释义 (Core Chinese Meaning): 指时间上、空间上或次序上的后面;也可指皇后等职位

英文核心释义 (Core English Meaning): behind, after, later; also refers to 'empress' or queen

“后”主要用作方位词,表示时间、空间或顺序上的“在后面”,如“以后”、“后面”。有时用作名词,指“皇后”。注意与“侯”的区分。 '后' is primarily used as a position word indicating time, space, or order (meaning 'behind' or 'after'), such as in '以后' (after), '后面' (behind). Sometimes used as a noun to mean 'empress.' Be careful not to confuse with '侯' (marquis).

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

“后”最初是象形字,描绘了一位坐着的人,表示王后或尊贵的女性。后来字形演变,更强调空间和顺序上的“后面”。现代字形中,上面的“口”代表嘴,下部的“幺”有延续、次序之意,合起来本义与“王后”相关,引申为‘后面’。Originally, '后' was a pictograph illustrating a seated person, representing a queen or noblewoman. As the form evolved, it placed more emphasis on the meanings of space and order ('behind'). In the modern character, the '口' (mouth) on top and '幺' (small) beneath hint at the original connection to the queen, while also suggesting the extended meaning of 'after' or 'behind.'

文言文释义 (Classical Chinese Meaning)

在文言文中常指帝王的配偶(皇后),也可泛指在后面的人事物。与现代意义相近。In Classical Chinese, it often referred to the emperor's consort (empress), or generally things or people behind. Similar to modern meaning.

字源故事 (Origin Story)

“后”字最早见于甲骨文,本意多指王后的“后”,后来也表示时间、空间的后面。甲骨文中的“后”常常写作一个人或王座的形象,表示尊贵的女性角色。随着演变,引申为方位与顺序。The character '后' first appeared in oracle bone script, originally referring to the 'queen' (empress) or a high-ranking woman. The oracle bone form often depicted a person or throne, indicating a noble female figure. Over time, the meaning extended to denote 'behind' in time, space, and order.

隶书 (Clerical Script):
隶书时期“后”的笔画变得扁平简化,更接近现代写法。 During the Clerical Script era, the strokes of '后' became flatter and more simplified, approaching the modern form.

网络参考 (Web References for "后") ()

网络内容摘要 (Web Content Summary):

核心含义及起源: “后”本作“後”,甲骨文、金文中均有不同写法。最初“后”与“後”意义不同:“后”多与君主、女王或帝王之意有关,如“皇后”;而“後”则表示“在后面”或“之后”。现在简化字的使用中,“后”常兼有两义,用于表示时间、方位的“后”,也用于描述身份,如“皇后”。 Core Meaning & Origin: The character "后" (hòu) originally differed from "後". "后" referred to a monarch or empress, while "後" meant "behind" or "after." In modern simplified Chinese, "后" carries both meanings: as "after/behind” and as "empress".

  • 特殊用法及易混点: “后”与“后”/“後”曾表示不同的意思,现在常合用,易混淆;古文或繁体中文中仍可能分开使用。 Special Usage & Common Confusions: "后" and "後" used to have distinct meanings, but now both are often written as "后" in simplified Chinese, which can cause confusion. In traditional texts, their uses remain separate.
  • 常用词语/成语: 如“皇后”(empress)、“之后”(after)、“后面”(behind)、“后来”(later)。 Common Words/Idioms: Examples include "皇后" (huáng hòu, empress), "之后" (zhī hòu, after), "后面" (hòu miàn, behind), "后来" (hòu lái, later).

文化趣闻: “后”字在古代与帝王权力有关,有时指代女君或皇后的身份,这在古汉语和宫廷文化中颇具代表性。 Cultural Fun Fact: In ancient China, "后" was associated with royalty and sometimes stood for female monarchs or empresses, reflecting its importance in historical and court culture.
