字源故事 (Origin Story)

“苗”字最早出现在甲骨文和金文中，形象地描绘了植物从土地里生长出来的样子，上面像是幼苗的叶片，下面像是土地或根部，表达了“新生”“萌发”的意思。The character '苗' first appeared in oracle bone and bronze inscriptions. It visually represents plants growing out of the ground, with the top part resembling sprouting leaves and the bottom indicating soil or roots, expressing the idea of 'new life' or 'growth.'

字形演变 (Character Evolution)

甲骨文 (Oracle Bone Script):
甲骨文中的“苗”字，上部类似具有分叉的嫩芽，下部为土地的符号，整体呈现草木初生的形态。 In Oracle Bone Script, '苗' has an upper part resembling split new shoots, with a base signifying soil, together forming the image of a young plant emerging.
金文 (Bronze Inscription):
金文中的“苗”字，结构变得更加圆润，上部叶片形象更加突出，根部符号简化，突出表达出植物生长。 In Bronze Inscription, '苗' becomes more rounded. The leaf shapes on top are clearer, and the root part is simplified, emphasizing the growth of the plant.
小篆 (Small Seal Script):
小篆时期“苗”字结构变得修长、线条流畅，顶部似“艹”（草字头），下部像“田”，形体规范化。 '苗' in Small Seal Script becomes elongated and smooth, with the top turning into the ‘艹’ (grass radical), and the bottom resembling '田' (field), standardizing the form.
隶书 (Clerical Script):
隶书中“苗”字结构更加平展，草字头和田字部分分明，线条变粗稳重。 In Clerical Script, '苗' takes on a more horizontally extended structure, with distinct grass and field components and thicker, steadier strokes.
楷书 (现代) (Regular Script (Modern)):
现代楷书中“苗”字采用草字头加田，笔画规范，易于辨认，是当前常用字形。 In modern Regular Script, '苗' is formed by the grass radical on top and '田' below, with standardized, easily recognizable strokes—this is the form in current use.
