含义与用法 (Meanings & Usage)

中文核心释义 (Core Chinese Meaning): 性质、本性、本质,常指人的性格、天性,或指生物繁衍相关的性别、性行为等。

英文核心释义 (Core English Meaning): nature, character, disposition; also refers to sex/gender or sexuality.

“性”在现代汉语中既可表示事物的性质,如“可塑性”,也可指人的性格,如“天性”;还常用于生理方面,如“性别”“性教育”。与其他字组合作为名词或形容词后缀使用,如“科学性”“创新性”。 '性' is used for abstract qualities (e.g., 'plasticity' as '可塑性'), for character/personality (e.g., 'temperament'), and for biological aspects like 'sex/gender' (e.g., '性别', 'sexual education'). Frequently appears as a suffix to form nouns or adjectives indicating quality or property (e.g., 'scientific' as '科学性', 'creativity' as '创新性').

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

“性”是会意兼形声字,上部“生”表示出生、天生,下部“心”表示心灵、情感。组合在一起表示生而有之的本性或情感本质。'性' is a phono-semantic compound: the upper part '生' means 'to be born', and the lower part '心' means 'heart, mind.' Together, it expresses the innate qualities or nature derived from the heart.

文言文释义 (Classical Chinese Meaning)

文言文中“性”常指人的天性、本性,与现代意义相近。In Classical Chinese, '性' usually refers to a person's innate nature or disposition, similar to its modern meaning.

字源故事 (Origin Story)

“性”字最早由“心”和“生”组成,表示生命本心、本质、人的天性等。‘心’表意,‘生’表声,合起来表示生而有之的本性。The character '性' is made up of '心' (heart) and '生' (to be born). It originally meant the inborn nature or essence of a person, combining the idea of innate disposition with the heart/mind. '心' indicates meaning, while '生' gives the pronunciation.

字形演变 (Character Evolution)

甲骨文 (Oracle Bone Script):
甲骨文中尚未见到“性”字的独立形态,但可见“生”“心”等组成部件的形状。 The independent character '性' does not appear in oracle bones, but its components '心' and '生' can be identified in oracle bone script.
金文 (Bronze Inscription):
金文中“性”字渐具雏形,多写作“生”上加“心”,结构疏朗,意指本心本性。 In Bronze Inscriptions, '性' started to take shape, often written as '生' above '心', with an open structure indicating innate nature or essence.
小篆 (Small Seal Script):
小篆中“性”字结构规整,将“生”在上,“心”在下,整体线条流畅,意义更加清晰。 In Small Seal Script, '性' is more standardized: '生' on top, '心' at the bottom, with smooth lines, making the meaning clearer.
隶书 (Clerical Script):
隶书中“性”字笔画变平直,结构更加端正,逐渐与现代字形接近。 In Clerical Script, the strokes of '性' become flatter and more upright, approaching the modern form.
楷书 (现代) (Regular Script (Modern)):
现代汉字中“性”字清晰分为上下结构,上为“生”,下为“心”,字形端正易识。 In modern Regular Script, '性' is clearly separated into '生' above and '心' below, with a clear and recognizable shape.
