摘要
汉字的形体是丰富多彩的,从甲骨文算起汉字形体已经发生了许多变化。汉字形体一直是汉字研究中的重要内容,却又是一个还不被人们重视的领域,至今文字学论著都没有界定什么是汉字字体,也就使汉字字体的种类不甚明了。本文从界定字体入手,将汉字形体依其性质和功能区分为字体和书体两个范畴。汉字字体是在某一历史时期在官方文书中使用过的有一定规范标准的汉字结构体式,并以此标准归纳汉字字体的种类。
All the thesis on Chinese characters in the past didn＇t properly define the real meaning of letterforms , thus caused the confusion between letterform and chirography and therefore resulted in some problems in description and research of Chinese letterforms. The thesis today analyses Chinese characters from the perspective of letterform and divide the characters into two categories and points out that Chinese letterform refers to innate structural form of formally used Chinese characters and with this standard, the author reaffirms the evolution of Chinese letterforms.
