“新说文解字”与汉字形义诠释

"New Shuo Wen Jie Zi" and the Explanation of Relationship Between Form and Meaning of Chinese Characters

汉字是意音文字,汉字形义具有可诠释性。在现行汉字层面,存在有形义联系、形义联系脱节、形义联系回归、形义联系后生、形义联系交错、无形义联系等情况,诠释复杂的形义关系时,"新说文解字"应立足现代,参考古代。单字的诠释需要在全面分析汉字系统基础上进行,避免诠释的主观性。应用科学的汉字形义诠释有益于汉字教学。

Chinese characters are kind of ＂meaning-sound＂ characters. Therefore, the relationship between their form and meaning is explicable. For modern characters, this relationship may exist, be disjointed, recover, be blended or disappear. When we try to explain such kind of complicated relationship, our ＂New Shuo Wen Jie Zi＂ should be based on modern situations and also referred to ancient situations. In order not to be affected by our subjectivity, the explanation of every single character should have the foundation of comprehensive analysis of Chinese character system. The explanation of Chinese characters＇ form and meaning, which is a kind of practical science, will bring benefit to the teaching of Chinese characters.
