吟 🔊

网络内容摘要 (Web Content Summary):

“吟”（拼音：yín）是一个常用汉字，其核心含义为“有节奏地诵读或唱诵”，即吟咏诗文，也引申为表示轻声叹息。“吟” (pinyin: yín) is a commonly used Chinese character. Its core meaning is “to chant or recite rhythmically,” especially poetry, and it also extends to mean “to sigh softly.”

“吟”字最早见于《说文解字》的小篆，象形意义不太明显，主要属于形声字，偏旁“口”与发声有关。“吟”也可指动物的叫声，古代有些诗歌体裁也称“吟”。 “吟” appeared as early as the Small Seal Script (Xiaozhuan) in the Shuowen Jiezi. It is a phono-semantic compound character, with the “口” (mouth) radical indicating relation to sound. “吟” can also refer to animal calls, and some ancient Chinese poetry forms are called “吟.”

• 常用词/成语：如吟咏（chant or recite poetry）、低吟（to murmur or hum）、长吟（long sigh or chant），成语有“吟风弄月”（reciting poetry to the wind and moon, i.e., being poetic and romantic）。 Common words/idioms: e.g. 吟咏 (chant/recite poetry), 低吟 (murmur), 长吟 (long chant/sigh); the idiom 吟风弄月 (to compose poetry inspired by the elements, describing a poetic mood).

• 易混淆点：“吟”有时与“噤”（意为闭口不言）形近而义异，应注意区分。此外，文献上“吟”也曾经是“噤”的异体字或假借字。 Common confusion: “吟” looks similar to “噤” (meaning to keep silent), but their meanings are different; in some ancient texts, “吟” was sometimes borrowed as a variant of “噤.”

文化趣闻：吟诗作赋一直是中国文人的重要交流与自我表达手段，体现出中国诗歌独特的吟诵传统。 Cultural note: Reciting and chanting poetry (“吟诗作赋”) has long been an important form of communication and self-expression among Chinese literati, reflecting the unique chanting tradition in Chinese poetry.
