汉语词汇与青铜器文化

Chinese Vocabulary and Bronze Culture

中国在青铜时代通常用"金"来代表青铜器,而"金"作为字素在单音词构词中有显著的表意作用,因此青铜时代的金部单音词以词汇的形式描绘了这一时代的青铜器文化,对青铜器的类别、冶炼以及青铜文化繁荣状况与原因都进行了形象生动的反映,进而诠释了词汇与文化间相辅相成的关系。

The word “Jin” is representative of Bronze in the Bronze Age. At the same time, as grapheme, the word “Jin” can represent meaning in monosyllable word formation. Therefore, all the mono-syllabic words from the “Jin” department of the Bronze Age are able to depict the culture of the Bronze in the form of words which included the Bronze category, smelting technologg, and the reasons for bronze cul-tural prosperity, Which explain the complementary relationship between vocabulary and culture.
