含义与用法 (Meanings & Usage)

中文核心释义 (Core Chinese Meaning): 台阶、逐级的等级

英文核心释义 (Core English Meaning): steps, stair; rank, grade (hierarchical level)

“阶”多用于表示楼梯的台阶、台阶数目,也用作抽象意义,表示等级、阶层,如“社会阶层”、“阶级”。常用作“台阶”、“阶层”等词语的组成部分,单独用时较少。 '阶' is commonly used to mean stairs or steps, often appearing in compound words such as '台阶' (step/stair), '阶层' (social class), or '阶级' (class/rank). Rarely used alone in modern Chinese.

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

“阶”左边的“阝”代表山丘或土坡,右边的“皆”暗含阶层分明、分界的意义,整体象征一级一级的台阶,体现升降、分层。The left radical '阝' represents a mound or slope, while the right part '皆' suggests differentiation or levels. Together, they pictographically symbolize a series of steps or stairs, embodying the concepts of elevation and hierarchy.

文言文释义 (Classical Chinese Meaning)

与现代意义相近,主要指台阶,也引申为等级、层次、顺序。Similar to modern meaning; primarily referred to steps or stairs, later extended to mean ranks, classes, or hierarchy.

字源故事 (Origin Story)

“阶”最早源自表示台阶的形状。古代建筑常有用石头或砖砌成的阶梯,上下台地或房屋前的台阶,因此形成了“阶”字,表示上升或分层的结构。The character '阶' originated from the visual representation of architectural steps or stairs made from stone or bricks in ancient buildings, symbolizing elevation or a layered structure.

字形演变 (Character Evolution)

甲骨文 (Oracle Bone Script):
甲骨文中还未见“阶”字,主要相关概念用象形字表示台阶,此时尚未固定为“阶”。 The character '阶' did not yet appear in Oracle Bone Script; related concepts were conveyed using pictographs of steps, and '阶' had not become a fixed character.
金文 (Bronze Inscription):
金文中“阶”的字形开始出现,表现为上下分层、梯状结构,类似建筑物前的石阶造型。 In Bronze Inscriptions, the form of '阶' began to appear, depicting a layered structure resembling steps at the entrance to buildings.
小篆 (Small Seal Script):
小篆中的“阶”由“阝”(阜,表示土坡)与“皆”组合,结构更加规整,突出了台阶与土坡的关系。 In Small Seal Script, '阶' is composed of '阝' (signifying 'mount' or 'slope') and '皆,' with a more standardized structure highlighting the linkage between a slope and steps.
隶书 (Clerical Script):
隶书中“阶”形体更加方整,笔画扁平,正式确立为现代‘阶’字的原型。 In Clerical Script, the form of '阶' became more rectangular and flat, essentially forming the prototype for the modern character.
楷书 (现代) (Regular Script (Modern)):
现代楷书中的“阶”笔画清晰,由“阝”(左耳旁)与“皆”字组成,简洁规整。 In modern Regular Script, '阶' is composed of clear strokes: the left-side '阝' radical and the right-side '皆,' resulting in a neat and regulated character.
