含义与用法 (Meanings & Usage)

中文核心释义 (Core Chinese Meaning): 节约;行政区划名称;察看、反省

英文核心释义 (Core English Meaning): to save, province (administrative region), to examine or reflect upon oneself

“省”常用为名词,指中国的行政区划单位,如“广东省”;作动词时读 xǐng,表示反省、检查自己的言行,如“自省”;作动词读 shěng,表示节省、节约,如“省钱”。两个读音和用法要注意区分。 In modern Chinese, '省' as a noun (shěng) refers to a province, an administrative region in China, e.g., '广东省' (Guangdong Province). As a verb (shěng), it means to save or economize, e.g., '省钱' (to save money). When read as 'xǐng,' it's a verb meaning to reflect or examine oneself, often in contexts like '自省' (self-reflection). Pay attention to the different pronunciations and their uses.

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

‘省’左边是‘目’(眼睛),右边是‘少’(少、细微),合起来表示用眼仔细看、审察,由此引申出反省、检查、节省等意义。'省' combines the component '目' (eye) on the left and '少' (few/subtle) on the right, depicting the act of closely inspecting with the eye. This is extended to mean examination, self-reflection, and saving.

文言文释义 (Classical Chinese Meaning)

在文言文中,‘省’常表示察看、反省、节省,与现代意义相近,另可表示‘去、回’(如‘省亲’意为回家探望亲人)。In Classical Chinese, '省' commonly means to examine, reflect, or save, similar to its modern meanings. It can also mean 'to go to see' or 'to visit,' as in '省亲' (to visit one's family).

字源故事 (Origin Story)

“省”本义为‘观察、察看’。该字最初的构形,左边是‘目’(眼睛),代表看见,右边‘少’,表示仔细查看之意,引申为审察、反省。古代还作‘省察’、‘省视’之意。后又引申为节省、节约,并用作中国行政区划名称。The original meaning of '省' was 'to observe or examine.' The character's early structure includes '目' (eye) on the left, representing seeing, and '少' (few) on the right, suggesting careful inspection. It thus extended to mean 'to examine' and 'to reflect.' Later, it also came to mean 'to save' or 'to economize,' and was adopted as the word for 'province,' an administrative division in China.

字形演变 (Character Evolution)

甲骨文 (Oracle Bone Script):
甲骨文中‘省’尚未出现标准形式,但相关词义如‘省视’的构形往往采用‘目’和‘少’的组合,表示用眼少看、细察意义。 The standard form of '省' does not appear on oracle bones, but related meanings such as '省视' (to inspect) use the components '目' (eye) and '少' (few), representing careful examination.
金文 (Bronze Inscription):
金文中‘省’的字形较为复杂,由‘目’和‘少’两部分组成,整体结构已较为接近后世的形态,表达‘察看’之义。 In bronze inscriptions, '省' consists of '目' (eye) and '少' (few), a structure quite close to later forms, expressing the meaning of 'to examine' or 'to observe.'
小篆 (Small Seal Script):
小篆中的‘省’已定型,由‘目’和‘少’紧密组合,笔画更加规整,意义为‘审察’。 In Small Seal Script, '省' is finalized, a close-knit composition of '目' and '少' with well-proportioned strokes, meaning 'to examine closely'.
隶书 (Clerical Script):
隶书将‘省’字简化,结构横平竖直,更接近现代楷书体。用法和意义与小篆类似。 Clerical Script simplifies '省', with straight horizontal and vertical lines, resembling the modern form. Its use and meaning are similar to those in Small Seal Script.
楷书 (现代) (Regular Script (Modern)):
现代楷书中‘省’由‘目’和‘少’组成,结构标准,用于行政区、节约、反省等义。 In modern Regular Script, '省' consists of '目' and '少', with a standard structure. It is used for meanings such as administrative region, to economize, and to reflect.
