Research on Relationship between Chinese Characters and the Family Appellation——The Interpretation of the Words such as“bo”“shu”and“jiu”

在汉语中,"伯、叔、舅"这三个家庭称谓是子女对父母兄弟的称呼:其中"伯、叔"指称父亲的兄弟,"舅"指称母亲的兄弟。通过研究代表这三个称谓的汉字符号的字形及其演变,不难发现"伯"、"叔"、"舅"这三个称谓蕴含着丰富的文化内涵,突出反映了古代森严的等级制度以及儒学的齐家治国思想。

There are three family appellations that are used commonly in daily life. As is known to all that ＂bo＂ and ＂shu＂ refer to father＇ s brothers and ＂jiu＂ refers to mother;s brother. According to their shape and evolution of these appellations, it is easy to find rich cultural connotations which reflect the ancient strict hierarchy and regulating the family and running the state of Confucianism.
