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

“继”是形声字，左边的“纟”表示与丝线有关，引申为连续、不断，右边的“巳”作声旁。丝代表事物延续的属性，组合体现了“延续、承接”的含义。'继' is a phono-semantic compound character. The left '纟' (derived from '糸', silk) implies connection and continuity, and the right '巳' provides the pronunciation. The character visually and structurally expresses the idea of succession or continuation, likened to an unbroken silk thread.

字源故事 (Origin Story)

“继”的本义是接续、延续，最早由“丝”和“巳”组成。'丝'表意，与丝线有关，'巳'表声。古人将事物的延续、承接比喻为丝线不断，因此用“继”来表示。最早见于战国文字和小篆。The original meaning of '继' is to continue or to succeed. It is composed of '丝' (silk, indicating the idea of continuity or threads) and '巳' (phonetic component). In ancient China, the continuity of things was often compared to the unbroken nature of silk threads, thus '继' came to mean to carry on or to succeed. Its earliest forms appear in Warring States scripts and the Small Seal Script.

字形演变 (Character Evolution)

甲骨文 (Oracle Bone Script):
没有发现“继”字的甲骨文写法，因为“继”字出现较晚。 No form of '继' has been discovered in Oracle Bone Script, as the character appeared later.
金文 (Bronze Inscription):
金文中也未见“继”字，一般认为此字至战国晚期或秦汉时期才出现。 '继' did not appear in Bronze Inscriptions either; it is generally believed to have emerged in the late Warring States or Qin-Han era.
小篆 (Small Seal Script):
小篆中“继”为形声字，左边为“糸”（丝），表意，右为“巳”，表声，整体结构细长，表示“连续如丝”。 In Small Seal Script, '继' is a phono-semantic compound: the left part is '糸' (silk) for meaning, and the right is '巳' for sound. The structure is slender, embodying the idea of continuity like a thread.
隶书 (Clerical Script):
隶书中“继”结构更扁平，线条横细直，仍可辨认'糸'和'巳'两个部分，书写更流畅简化。 In Clerical Script, '继' became flatter with straighter lines; both components ('糸' and '巳') are still recognizable, and the writing is smoother and more stylized.
楷书 (现代) (Regular Script (Modern)):
现代楷书“继”字体端正，左右结构分明，左为“纟”（'糸'的简化），右为“巳”保持传统形态。 In modern Regular Script, '继' appears upright and clear, with a distinct left ('纟', the simplified '糸') and right ('巳') structure, preserving the traditional form.
