An in-depth study on the meaning of Chinese characters (proposed by experts)

Learning words is a good idea. Make three suggestions:

First, the study of word meaning should be not only well-founded, but also well-founded. To this end, predecessors have done a lot of research, so we might as well learn from it. The best reference book is Kangxi Dictionary, a master of ancient dictionaries.

Second, on the basis of well-founded, we should be more open, can spread the wings of imagination, trace the source and think about the meaning, because Chinese characters are pictures themselves.

Third, don't stick to analyzing Chinese characters. Otherwise, you will get into trouble.

For example, there is no problem with the words "money is on the left" and "two brothers are on the right", and it is also a fact that "leaders from top to bottom are also fighting with each other". "Why fight? The conclusion of "for gold" is even more debatable. Why? The word "knowledge" can separate or combine the parts according to the meaning, while the word "money" is not a word of knowledge, so it is quite reluctant to explain.

For the explanation of the word money, Shuowen: Gutian Porcelain. From the voice of gold. The explanation is a pictophonetic character, and its meaning is related to gold, just to express the sound.
