Introduction and origin of Chinese characters
"In ancient Chinese characters, there are different opinions about whether the back interface of Guo (abbreviated as Guo) is a mouth or a prototype. Mr. Ma Xulun advocates that the mouth is the original word of the country, while Asataro Goto, a Japanese academic friend in Yu, advocates that "or" is the original word of the country. He thinks that the people mentioned are all people after Qin and Han Dynasties. He also published a paper in the sixth volume of the Journal of Chinese Studies, saying: "The word" country "has been a thing since the Qin and Han Dynasties. During the Zhou Dynasty, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there was only the word or. "According to: either the combination of Ge and Kou, which was also mentioned by Xu Shen in Shuo Wen Jie Zi in the later Han Dynasty, or the meaning of" Bangye, Congkou, Congge, and Ge, and Shou "is still unknown. Covering your mouth is the meaning of the country. If it is defended by weapons, it means territory, and sometimes it means fields. Therefore, it means that a country has the weapons territory of other countries and their tribes. For example, Wu Dacheng, Liu Xinyuan and Ruan Yuan expressed the word "country" as "or" (Supplement to Mao Gu Shu) or (Textual Research on Mao Boyi Gu Shu). He takes "mouth as context" and "one as context". It backfired. The first word in the mouth indicates the realm, the second word indicates the territory, and then the meaning is obtained. Later, Mr. Fujita took "or" as the original word of the country, and he held it for a reason. ..... So I think that Chinese characters, regardless of their original form, mean to protect private property. "Or" is used in the era of animal husbandry and in the era of agriculture. Later generations are integrated and surrounded by walls. The more private, the stronger the protection. The ancients often compared the country to the cherry of society, which clearly shows that the country is closely related to land and agriculture and can be regarded as the same meaning. Therefore, in the eyes of the ancients, the word "country" can be used alone or together. The argument has nothing to do with it. " (
