萌 🔊

网络内容摘要 (Web Content Summary):

萌是一个形声字，最早见于《说文解字》的小篆体。其上部像两棵草，下部为“明”，象征草木初生之意。 萌 ("méng") is a phono-semantic character, first seen in the ancient Chinese script called "small seal script" in the dictionary Shuowen Jiezi. The upper part resembles two blades of grass, and the lower part is the character "明" (ming), symbolizing plants just beginning to sprout.

核心含义为“植物萌芽、生长的开始”。引申义为事情刚有迹象或发展之初，例如“萌芽”。 Its primary meaning is "the sprouting or beginning of plant growth." By extension, it refers to the initial emergence or early sign of an event or trend, as in the word “萌芽” (méng yá, "to bud or sprout").

• 常见用法：“萌芽”（比喻新事物的开端）；现代汉语中，“萌”还被用来形容人或事物可爱（受日本“萌え”文化影响）。 Common usage: “萌芽” (méng yá) is a metaphor for the beginning of something new. In modern Chinese, “萌” is also used to describe someone or something as cute, influenced by the Japanese pop culture term "moe."
• 易混淆点：“萌”与“盟”、“盟友”中的“盟”发音相同但含义不同，“萌”更侧重于“新生/可爱”之意。 Confusable point: “萌” ("méng") and “盟” ("méng", as in "alliance") are homophones but have different meanings. “萌” relates to "sprouting/new beginnings/cuteness".
