论汉字书写变异的动因和手段

On the motivations and means of variations in the writing of Chinese characters

在古代,实现字形最主要的手段是书写,因此书写是字形变化最主要的原因和途径。书写过程中发生的变异虽然复杂多样,但导致所有这些现象出现的根本动因,是汉字的理据性和书写追求便捷这二者的动态平衡。这一方面使得字形结构不断进行调整,一方面也使得更为细节的部分,如笔画笔形,发生了各种变化。最终,汉字形体就在这样的变动不居中维持着其体系的稳定更新,其记录汉语的功能得以一直持续。

In ancient times, writing was the most important means for glyph. Therefore, writing is the major reason and way of glyphchange. Despite the complex and diverse variations in the writing process, the fundament motivation for all these phenomena is the dy-namic balance between the motivation of Chinese characters and the puuit for the ease of writing. This enables the glyph structure to beconstantly adjusted and more detailed parts, such as strokes and stroke shapes, to undergo various changes. Eventually, the Chinesecharacter maintained a stable upgrade of its system in such changes. And the function of recording Chinese language has been sus-tained.
