How to analyze the physical structure of Chinese characters?

The physical structure of Chinese characters refers to the construction mode of Chinese characters, that is, the glyph structure that embodies the meaning of word creation. We can analyze the structure of Chinese characters from different angles, such as "Zhang". From the perspective of writing structure, it can be divided into two parts, namely Li.

For example, the "father" of Kuafu is "righteousness". The word "fu" comes from the vowel, so the ancient sounds of the two words are the same or similar, so they are interlinked. Another example is the "capital city" of the capital city, which sounds from the city and takes "zhe" as the sound symbol; In ancient Chinese, D and zh, P and F are indistinguishable.

Analyzing the structure of Chinese characters is helpful to understand and master the original meaning of Chinese characters. For example, the "set" in Sha Ou Ji Xiang was originally called "set", which means that birds gather on a tree from three places.

The "scenery" in Spring Jingming is based on the sun, the voice of Beijing, the sound of form and sound, and its original meaning is sunshine.

Extended data

1. Some glyphs are converted from another glyph. If we want to analyze the motivation of this glyph, we should explain the variation of this glyph and understand the parsed words with the help of the sound and meaning (function) of the components.

2. The morphological analysis unit with clear function is called "component", and the morphological analysis unit with unknown function or ignoring its function is called "component".

3. Sometimes, some forms (components) are separated from the whole word, the purpose of which is not to explain the function, but to identify with another word with isomorphic relationship, thus helping to remember and write the glyph correctly. This is isomorphic component analysis.
