含义与用法 (Meanings & Usage)

中文核心释义 (Core Chinese Meaning): 尸体,指死去的身体。古时也指代理、主持祭祀的人。

英文核心释义 (Core English Meaning): corpse, dead body; historically also refers to a person who presides over or represents others in rituals.

“尸”在现代汉语中主要是“尸体”的简写,单独用较少。常出现在“尸体”、“尸检”、“尸位素餐”等词语中,书面语较多,口语中少见。 '尸' is mainly used as an abbreviation for '尸体' (corpse) in modern Chinese, and is rarely used alone. It frequently appears in words like '尸体' (corpse), '尸检' (autopsy), and in idioms such as '尸位素餐' (to occupy a position without doing the job). It is more common in written language than in speech.

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

“尸”是象形字,原本画的是人侧身而卧或俯身的形状,形象地表示了死去的人体或者俯身祭祀的状态,因此用来表示尸体或主持祭祀的人。'尸' is a pictograph, originally depicting a person lying sideways or bending over, vividly conveying the image of a dead body or someone presiding over rituals in a prostrate posture. Thus, it came to mean both 'corpse' and a ritual officiant.

文言文释义 (Classical Chinese Meaning)

文言文中“尸”常指主持祭祀的人,或者指死者的身体。In Classical Chinese, '尸' often refers to the person presiding over a ritual or the body of the deceased.

字源故事 (Origin Story)

“尸”字最早见于甲骨文,原本象形,描绘一个人蜷曲或蹲坐的侧影,表示死者的身体或俯身祭祀的形状。后来引申为尸体、主持祭祀的人。The character '尸' first appeared in oracle bone script, originally pictographic, depicting the side silhouette of a person huddled or crouching, representing a dead body or someone bending over during rituals. Later, it extended to mean 'corpse' and was also used for someone presiding over rituals.

字形演变 (Character Evolution)

甲骨文 (Oracle Bone Script):
甲骨文中的“尸”形似一个人侧身弯曲、头朝下、双腿收缩,突出表现了俯身或曲身之态。 In Oracle Bone Script, '尸' resembles a person bending over sideways, head down and legs tucked in, clearly showing a hunched or crouched posture.
金文 (Bronze Inscription):
金文中的“尸”较甲骨文更为简化,表现为一个侧身,轮廓更加流畅,突出弯腰俯身。 In Bronze Inscriptions, '尸' is more simplified than in Oracle Bone Script, depicted as a side-facing figure with smoother outlines, emphasizing the bent or crouched position.
小篆 (Small Seal Script):
小篆的“尸”结构更规整,线条更加流畅,保留了模拟人体弯曲的特点。 In Small Seal Script, '尸' is more structured and regular, with smooth lines, still retaining the human's curved shape.
隶书 (Clerical Script):
隶书的“尸”逐渐呈现现代字形,横平竖直,姿态更为抽象。 In Clerical Script, '尸' gradually takes on the modern form, with straight horizontal and vertical lines, becoming more abstract.
楷书 (现代) (Regular Script (Modern)):
现代楷书中的“尸”结构简单,由一竖和一弯钩组成,形态简练有力。 In modern Regular Script, '尸' is simple in structure, consisting of a vertical line and a curved hook, concise and strong in form.
