1, which basically means "trust, believe" and can also mean "truth, truthfulness". Confucius occupies an important position in ancient culture and is widely used in literary works such as poems and songs, articles and classics. The glyph structure of Fu is relatively simple, which consists of two parts: Yan and Xin.
2. Among them, "speech" represents speech and language, and "heart" represents mind and soul. Therefore, the meaning of fu can be understood as expressing one's true feelings and thoughts through words, so as to gain the trust and recognition of others. Fuxi was widely used in ancient culture.
3. For example, there is a famous saying in The Analects: "Isn't it a pleasure to have friends from afar?" Among them, "music" is the original meaning of Fu, which means trust and friendship between friends. Another example is the Tang Dynasty poet Bai Juyi, who wrote: "The boundless grass on the grassland comes and goes with the seasons. Wildfire never completely devoured them, and they grew taller again in the spring breeze. "
4. Among them, "blowing again" is the extended meaning of the word "Fu", which means that even after the baptism of wind and rain, it can still grow and thrive again. In addition to its application in literary works, the word Fu is also of great significance in daily life. For example, we often say "honesty-based", where "honesty" refers to sincerity and honesty, and "faith" refers to trust and credit.
Evolution of fu
1, the evolution of Fuzi is a historical evolution process. From the initial Oracle Bone Inscriptions to the modern simplified characters, it has gone through several stages of evolution. The word "Fu" in Oracle Bone Inscriptions is a cognitive word, which consists of two parts: "claw" and "zi", and vividly expresses the meaning of grasping a child with the hand. This glyph directly reflects the behavior of catching children in ancient society.
2. With the passage of time, the character "Fu" in inscriptions on bronze and Xiao Zhuan has maintained the similarity with Oracle Bone Inscriptions in shape, and it is still composed of "claw" and "zi", but it gradually loses its pictographic charm and pays more attention to the function of expressing sound and meaning. In the regular script period, the shape of the word "fu" has changed a lot.
3. The upper part still retains the shape of "claw", but it has lost its pictographic meaning and become a part of the radical. This evolution makes the word "fu" easier to write and remember, while retaining its phonetic and ideographic functions. In the process of evolution, the meaning of "Fu" has also changed.
At first, "Fu" refers to the act of capturing children, and later the meaning of "sincerity" was extended. This stems from the fact that prisoners in ancient society must abide by the rules formulated by the victors, or they will be killed at any time. Therefore, "Fu" is gradually endowed with the meaning of "sincerity" and has become one of the universally recognized moral standards.
