摘要
唐兰先生的“三书说”,比之东汉许慎的“六书说”更加贴近造字之初的实际情况。象意造字法是象形造字法的开创性发展。象意文字有的就是一种形象,但是,它的特点是在形象以外即字形以外有着自己独特的内涵。正是因为象意文字为抽象概念的造字提供了一个广阔的空间,才没有使汉字像其他古文字一样,被纯表音的字母文字所取代。古“厶”字就是一个象意文字,与它有关的几个字也说明了这一点。
Comparing with '六书说(Liushushuo)'of Xu Shen's, who was one from East Han Dynasty, Mr. Tang Lan's'三书说(San-shushuo) 'is more likely to resemble the situation when character was forming. The meaning-denotation character-formation is creatively development of pictographic character-formation. Some of the meaning-denotation characters are kinds of images, but their traits are the characters have its particular connotation besides image itself. If is because that meaning-denotation character provides broad space for adstract word formation that prevent Chinese characters replacing by letters denoting merely sound. The ancient character '厶'is a meaning denotation word, other characters concerning with it also prove the argument.
