指事造字是汉字的一种重要构形法。学界对指事字往往致力于它的"兼类"研究,论及指事字构形原理就显得歧见纷纭。我们经过对指事字进行系统观察整理,就指事字的构形机制及构形类型作出了客观分析。区别出指事字当中的指事符号存在指事记号跟指事代号之分,并对省形指事字进行了讨论研究。还明确提出了区别指事字跟象形字以及会意字的根本原则和具体方法。

It is an important Chinese way of configuration that means the matter. Scholars of word often refer to a matter as its ＂ category＂ research. As a result, there are different views on the principles for this kind of word configuration. Based on the systematic study and classification of the words referring to matters, we have made objective analysis of the mechanism and type of configuration. The paper differentiates the symbol of a word, which refers to a matter from the mark, and conducted a study on province-shaped thing. That apart, it also puts forward a clear fundamental principles and specific methods to distinguish the words that refer to things from pictographs as well as associative compounds.
