汉字与远古人类的居住习俗

Chinese Characters and the Inhabitation of the Primitive People

远古时期的汉族先民，其居住方式主要是穴居和巢居，这种居住习俗也被汉字所记录。汉字“出”“各”等构形反映了先民的穴居状况，“乘”“■”等构形反映了其巢居情况。

In remote antiquity, the ancestors of the Hans mainly lived in caves or nets. Their living habits are recorded by Chinese characters. The formation of such Chinese characters as “chu” (go out) and “ge” (each) reflects the living conditions of the caves while the structure of the characters like “cheng” and “zhi” reflects the situation in their nets.
