基本信息 (Basic Information)

含义与用法 (Meanings & Usage)

中文核心释义 (Core Chinese Meaning): 祭祀前用牲血洒物；引申为争端、祸端。

英文核心释义 (Core English Meaning): sacrificial blood ritual (smearing blood on objects before a ceremony); by extension, conflict or cause of dispute.

“衅”在现代汉语中多用于书面语，主要表示争端、祸端，如“挑起事衅”。日常用语较少，常见于成语或历史文献。 '衅' is mostly found in written Chinese, particularly to mean 'conflict' or 'cause of dispute,' such as in the phrase 'to provoke conflict.' It rarely appears in everyday speech and is commonly found in idioms, literature, or historical texts.

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

“衅”会意字，从“血”，从“辛”。“血”表示祭祀用的血液，“辛”本作“刑具”之形，表示刑罚、痛苦，引申为不吉。全字表达祭祀用血祈福避邪，后引申为祸端、争端。'衅' is a compound ideogram, composed of '血' (blood) and '辛' (originally meaning 'punishment instrument' or 'bitterness'). '血' indicates the blood used in rituals, while '辛' implies toil or ill omen; together, the character signifies the ritual of smearing blood for blessing or warding off evil, and later came to mean 'cause of dispute' or 'conflict.'

文言文释义 (Classical Chinese Meaning)

文言文中既指祭祀时用血涂抹（如“衅钟”），也指争端、祸端。与现代意义相近。In classical Chinese, '衅' referred both to the ritual of smearing blood during sacrifices (e.g., 'to anoint a bell') and to conflict or cause of trouble. Similar to modern meaning.
