中文核心释义 (Core Chinese Meaning): 大海，海洋，广阔的水域。

英文核心释义 (Core English Meaning): sea, ocean, vast body of water.

“海”主要指大海、海洋，也常用作比喻，如“人才海洋”表示数量多。常用于构成地名（如“上海”）、科研项目（如“深海”）、词语（如“海外”、“海鲜”）等。 ‘海’ usually refers to the sea or ocean, and is also used metaphorically to indicate vastness or abundance, such as in 'a sea of people.' It frequently appears in place names (e.g., 'Shanghai'), scientific terms ('deep sea'), and common words (e.g., 'overseas,' 'seafood').

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

“海”是形声字，左边“氵”表示与水有关，右边“每”为声旁，借其发音。组合起来表示大水，即大海。'海' is a phono-semantic compound character: the left side ('氵', the water radical) indicates water, while the right component ('每') provides the pronunciation. The combination refers to a vast body of water—the sea.

文言文释义 (Classical Chinese Meaning)

与现代意义相近，泛指大海或广阔的水域，有时也指边疆、远方。Similar to modern meaning; generally refers to the sea or vast waters, and sometimes denotes borderlands or distant places.

字源故事 (Origin Story)

“海”字最早出现在战国时期的篆书，其结构为“水”旁和“每”字。水表示与水有关，“每”用作声旁，表达发音。古人以大江大海为天地间最广阔的水体，因此用“海”来专指大海。The character '海' first appeared in the Seal Script during the Warring States period. It is composed of the 'water' radical and the phonetic component '每'. The water radical suggests its connection to water, while '每' indicates pronunciation. In ancient times, 'sea' referred to the largest bodies of water, so '海' became specifically associated with the ocean.

字形演变 (Character Evolution)

甲骨文 (Oracle Bone Script):
甲骨文中未发现“海”字，相关表达大海的字多用“江”“河”等。 The character '海' did not appear in Oracle Bone Script; other characters like '江' (river) or '河' (river) were used for large water bodies.
金文 (Bronze Inscription):
金文中也未见“海”的独立字形，但可见偏旁“水”在许多水相关字中。 The character '海' was not independently found in Bronze Inscriptions, but the 'water' radical commonly appeared in water-related characters.
小篆 (Small Seal Script):
小篆中“海”由“水”偏旁和“每”组成，形体规整，结构更为明确，代表大海。 In Small Seal Script, '海' is formed by the 'water' radical and '每' as the phonetic component. The structure is well-defined, clearly representing 'sea.'
隶书 (Clerical Script):
隶书将“海”进一步简化，横折明显，线条平直，增强了易写性。 '海' in Clerical Script is further simplified with more straight and angular strokes, making it easier to write.
楷书 (现代) (Regular Script (Modern)):
现代楷书中“海”字结构规范，左为三点水，右为“每”，写法工整常见于现代汉字书写。 In modern Regular Script, '海' is standardized with the 'three-dots water' radical on the left and '每' on the right. This is the commonly seen form in contemporary Chinese writing.

网络参考 (Web References for "海") ()

网络内容摘要 (Web Content Summary):

海字的核心含义是“大海”——指广阔的水域，在中文中常用来指海洋、辽阔无边的地方。 “海” primarily means "sea" or "ocean"—a vast body of water. It is widely used in Chinese to signify the ocean or anything broad and boundless.

“海”的甲骨文字形，起源于象征水的符号，显示出与水相关的本质。 The ancient oracle bone script form of “海” originates from pictographic elements representing water, reflecting its inherent connection to water.

有趣的是，汉语中有些名字虽然带“海”，实际并非真正的“海”，比如“洱海”实际上是湖泊。这类用法容易引起误解，需注意区分。 Interestingly, some Chinese place names include “海” but do not refer to actual seas. For example, “洱海” is actually a lake, not a sea. Such usages can cause confusion, so be mindful of the context.

  • 常用词语： 海洋（ocean）、海外（overseas）、海边（seaside）、海鲜（seafood）。Common words: 海洋 (ocean), 海外 (overseas), 海边 (seaside), 海鲜 (seafood).
  • 常用成语： 海阔天空（as boundless as the sea and sky，比喻心胸开阔，思路广阔），人山人海（huge crowds of people）。Common idioms: 海阔天空 (as boundless as the sea and sky, describing open-mindedness or broad thinking), 人山人海 (huge crowds of people).

易混淆点： 部分带“海”的地名可能并非真正的海洋，需要结合实际情况理解。 Common confusion: Some location names with "海" may not indicate a real sea, so context is important.

由于资料有限，未能找到更多关于“海”字详细的甲骨文象形演变或更丰富的文化背景介绍。 Due to limited available information, further details about the character’s oracle bone script evolution or deeper cultural background were not found.

古字闲谈（28） "海"的字源及演变

但是这里的"海"并不是指大海，而是代指洱海。而洱海其实也不是海，是湖泊，之所以说是海，是因为洱海的形成是由于海水进入后逐渐淡化形成的淡水湖泊。 大海航拍图. 之所以聊这些东西，也是因为和今天的"海"字有着千丝万缕的关系。
