字源故事 (Origin Story)

“言”字最早见于甲骨文,其字形像是一张嘴巴在吐出言语,象征着说话或讲话的动作。随着时间推移,字形逐渐演变,仍保留了口部及气流扩散的象意。The character '言' first appeared in oracle bone script, picturing a mouth emitting speech, symbolizing the act of speaking. Over time, the form evolved but retained elements representing the mouth and the spreading flow of speech.

字形演变 (Character Evolution)

甲骨文 (Oracle Bone Script):
甲骨文中的“言”形状像一张口上方有气流或线段,表现说话出口的意思。 In Oracle Bone Script, the shape of '言' resembles a mouth with lines or breath above, representing the act of emitting speech.
金文 (Bronze Inscription):
金文中的“言”比甲骨文更为规整,嘴形更明确,上方气流线条更多,象征声音传递。 In Bronze Inscription, '言' appears more regular compared to Oracle Bone Script; the mouth is clearer and the lines above indicate the spreading of voice.
小篆 (Small Seal Script):
小篆中“言”结构变得成一组整齐的线条和弯曲,突出嘴和声波流动感。 In Small Seal Script, '言' becomes a set of orderly lines and curves, emphasizing the mouth and the feeling of sound flow.
隶书 (Clerical Script):
隶书中的“言”趋于扁平,笔画较粗,结构更加方正,便于书写。 In Clerical Script, '言' becomes flatter, with thicker and more square strokes, making it easier to write.
楷书 (现代) (Regular Script (Modern)):
现代楷书中“言”结构紧凑,上下分明,是现在广泛使用的标准写法。 In modern Regular Script, '言' is compact and clearly structured, which is the standard form used today.
