延 🔊

网络内容摘要 (Web Content Summary):

延是一个会意字，早期甲骨文、金文中形状像两脚行走，表示“行走不止”，引申为“延长、引申、延续”等含义。 延 is an ideogrammic compound character. In early oracle bone and bronze scripts, its form resembled two feet walking, expressing the idea of "walking continuously," and thus extended to mean "to prolong, to extend, to continue."

• 字源与演变：“延”最早见于甲骨文和金文，最初形状与“㢟”相同，后演变为现今样式。古文字中带有“彳”或“止”（表示步行或行动），小篆后“彳”逐渐变为“廴”旁，用以表达“延伸、拉长”之意。 Origin and evolution: "延" first appeared in oracle bone and bronze scripts, sharing its original form with "㢟". The ancient forms include radicals like "彳" or "止", meaning to walk or act. By the small seal script period, "彳" evolved into the "廴" radical, emphasizing the idea of "stretching or extending".

• 核心含义：主要有“延长、延续、推迟”之意。如“延期”、“延伸”、“延年益寿”等常用词。 Core meanings: The main senses are "to prolong," "to extend," and "to delay." Common words include “延期” (postpone), “延伸” (extend), and the idiom “延年益寿” (prolong life).

• 特别用法与易混淆点：古文中“㢟”字常代用“延”。现代汉字“延”常与“沿”（跟随路线）易混。成语如“延绵不断”（continuously and unbroken）。 Special usage & confusion: In ancient Chinese, "㢟" often substituted for "延." Modern learners may confuse "延" (to extend) with "沿" (to follow a route). An example idiom is “延绵不断” (continuously, without interruption).
