字源故事 (Origin Story)

“坐”字最早出现在甲骨文和金文，字形由两个“人”叠加在“土”上面，意为两个人面对面地坐在地上。形象地表现了‘坐’这个动作的全过程。The character '坐' first appeared in oracle bone and bronze inscriptions. Its structure shows two '人' (people) sitting face to face on '土' (ground or earth), vividly illustrating the action of sitting.

字形演变 (Character Evolution)

甲骨文 (Oracle Bone Script):
甲骨文中的“坐”字形像是两个人相对而坐于地上，简化的人形配以地面。 In Oracle Bone Script, '坐' resembles two human figures sitting face to face on the ground, with simplified human shapes atop a base representing earth.
金文 (Bronze Inscription):
金文中“坐”的结构更加清晰，两个人体写得更具体，下方为‘土’字形。 In Bronze Inscriptions, the structure became clearer, the human figures are more distinct, and the '土' (earth) component is shown at the bottom.
小篆 (Small Seal Script):
小篆“坐”字形进一步规范，上方两个‘人’字，下方‘土’字，字形变得细长。 In Small Seal Script, the shape becomes more standardized: two '人' (human) above and a '土' (earth) below, in a slender form.
隶书 (Clerical Script):
隶书中“坐”的结构横平竖直，笔画简化，下方‘土’变扁，整体趋近现代写法。 In Clerical Script, the structure is more regular horizontally and vertically; strokes are simplified, and the bottom '土' becomes flatter, making it closer to the modern form.
楷书 (现代) (Regular Script (Modern)):
现代楷书中“坐”由两个‘人’字和下方的‘土’组成，结构紧凑、规范。 In modern Regular Script, '坐' contains two '人' on top and '土' at the bottom, compact and neatly arranged.
