含义与用法 (Meanings & Usage)

中文核心释义 (Core Chinese Meaning): 气体、空气,也指看不见的能量或精神(如生气、元气);某种情绪(如生气)

英文核心释义 (Core English Meaning): air, gas, breath, vital energy (qi); also mood or temper (e.g., anger)

“气”常用于表示气体(如氧气)、空气、气味、人的情绪(如生气)、中医中的“气”概念(生命能量),以及自然现象(如天气)。现代常见于“气体”、“空气”、“脾气”等词语中。 '气' is commonly used to refer to gases (e.g., oxygen), air, smells, human mood (especially 'anger'), the concept of vital energy in traditional Chinese medicine, and natural phenomena (like 'weather'). Common modern words include '气体' (gas), '空气' (air), '脾气' (temper).

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

“气”属于象形字,早期字形像三条气流或蒸汽升起,描绘了空气或无形之气的流动。简化后保留了这种动感,表达气体无定形、易流动的特质。'气' is a pictographic character. The early forms resembled three streams or wisps of steam rising, depicting the movement of invisible air or breath. The simplified character still preserves this sense of motion, expressing the formless and flowing nature of gases.

文言文释义 (Classical Chinese Meaning)

与现代意义相近,文言文中多指天地间的气体、元气、能量等,有时也指人的情绪。Similar to modern meaning; in Classical Chinese, it often referred to the vital energy of heaven and earth, air, or a person’s spirit/emotion.

字源故事 (Origin Story)

“气”字最早的形态像从锅里冒出的蒸汽或烟,表示无形而流动的气体。甲骨文中以三道弯曲的线表示气流,象征看不见但能感受到的气息、空气等。后世写法逐渐简化演变成今天的'气'字形。The original form of the character '气' looked like steam or vapor rising from a pot, representing invisible and flowing gases. In ancient oracle bone script, three curved lines depicted streams of air, symbolizing things unseen but sensed, like breath or air. Over time, the written form was gradually simplified to the modern '气'.

字形演变 (Character Evolution)

甲骨文 (Oracle Bone Script):
甲骨文的“气”像三条弯曲的气流线条,上方常有“米”字表示气体从米饭中升起的样子,象征蒸汽或呼出的气。 In Oracle Bone Script, '气' appeared as three wavy lines, sometimes with the '米' radical on top to represent vapor rising from cooked rice, symbolizing steam or exhaled air.
金文 (Bronze Inscription):
金文中“气”的字形较甲骨文更加规范,气流线条清晰,结构更紧凑,仍表现蒸汽状。 In Bronze Inscriptions, the '气' character became more structured, with clearer depiction of air currents; the design remained evocative of rising vapor.
小篆 (Small Seal Script):
小篆的“气”字去掉了“米”,仅保留气流线条,结构瘦长,流畅地表现空气流动。 In Small Seal Script, the '米' component was removed, leaving only the lines suggesting air flow; the character became slender and elegantly curving, emphasizing the movement of air.
隶书 (Clerical Script):
隶书中“气”的笔画变得平直,线条简化,逐渐接近现代字形。 In Clerical Script, the strokes of '气' became straightened and simplified, moving closer to the modern form.
楷书 (现代) (Regular Script (Modern)):
现代楷书中的“气”简洁明了,形如一旁竖弯,顶端像空气流出的弧线,广泛应用于各种语境。 In modern Regular Script, '气' is clear and succinct, with a vertical curve and a top stroke reminiscent of air or vapor drifting upward. It is widely used in various contexts today.
