摘要
先秦和秦汉时期食用油多为动物油,史籍中称为＂脂＂、＂膏＂,不称＂油＂。虽然这一时期史籍中已出现＂油＂字,但多是用来表现植物生长茂盛状或水流、云彩缓缓流动状,如《孟子.梁惠王上》：＂天油然作云,沛然下雨。＂《楚辞.九叹.远逝》：＂江湘油油,长流汨兮。＂司马相如：＂自我天覆,云之油油。甘露时雨,厥壤可游。＂[1]魏晋以降,＂油＂字才逐渐进入现代汉语＂油＂的语义场,并迅速超越了＂脂＂、＂膏＂、＂泽＂、＂肪＂等其他语义场成员。
The word of ＇Zaoyou＇ in the book of Qiminyaoshu was an inheritance of ＇Zaoyou＇in the book of ShiMing.It was not yet true vegetable oil but some sort of marmalade that was similar with vegetable oil in appearance.Red-date（＇Zao＇） could be made to ＇you＇,as well as prugna,apricot and clingstone,and so on.The word of ＇Huma＇ in Qiminyaoshu really implied Sesamum indicum L.that was different from it＇s meaning in historical documents of Han dynasty.＇Huma＇ was a general term of Sesamum indicum L.and Linumusitatissimum.So it＇s meaning changed in different time and different place.
