字源故事 (Origin Story)

“虎”字最早见于甲骨文，原为象形字，字形像一只张开口、显露獠牙的老虎，突出其威猛的特征。初始字形侧重于表现老虎的头部和身体轮廓，随着时代发展，逐渐简化为今天的样式。The character '虎' first appeared in oracle bone script as a pictograph. Its shape resembled a tiger with an open mouth and prominent fangs, emphasizing the animal’s fierceness. The original form depicted the tiger’s head and body outline, which gradually simplified into the modern character.

字形演变 (Character Evolution)

甲骨文 (Oracle Bone Script):

甲骨文中“虎”字呈现动物头部、身体和尾巴的形状，带有尖牙和张口，形体较为生动。 In oracle bone script, '虎' showed the tiger’s head, body, and tail with open jaws and sharp fangs, creating a vivid animal image.

金文 (Bronze Inscription):

金文时期“虎”的字形结构比甲骨文更加规整，依然能看出虎头和尾巴等象形特征，但线条更加简化。 '虎' in bronze inscriptions became more regular in structure. The head and tail features are still recognizably pictorial but with more stylized, simplified lines.

小篆 (Small Seal Script):

小篆中的“虎”结构对称，线条弯曲流畅，保留了象形动物的基本轮廓。 In Small Seal Script, '虎' is symmetrical and has smooth, curved lines, retaining the basic outline of the animal.

隶书 (Clerical Script):

隶书时期“虎”字变得更扁平，笔画变粗，结构进一步简化，更接近现代汉字形态。 In clerical script, '虎' became flatter, with thicker strokes and further simplified structure, approaching the modern form.

楷书 (现代) (Regular Script (Modern)):

现代楷书中的“虎”已去掉象形细节，结构规范，笔画清晰，是如今常用的字体。 In modern regular script, '虎' has lost most pictographic details, with standardized structure and clear strokes, forming the commonly used character today.
