我国有七大方言区,分别是北方方言、吴方言、赣方言、湘方言、闽方言、粤方言、客家方言。各大方言中都不同程度地保留了一些古字音,如赣方言中的“食”字,说吃东西不说吃,而说食——食饭,食水甚至食烟。这个食在古代到底是什么意思呢?它的本义又是什么?在古代读什么音呢?食,甲骨文写作,金文为,小篆写作。有人认为甲骨文的倒着看像是一张嘴在吃东西,因而认为它是一个会意字,有吃的意思。 There are seven major dialects in our country, namely the northern dialect, the Wu dialect, the Gan dialect, the Xiang dialect, the Min dialect, the Cantonese dialect, and the Hakka dialect. In all major dialects, some ancient Chinese characters have been preserved in varying degrees, such as “food” in Gan dialect. They say that eating does not mean eating but eating - eating, drinking and even eating tobacco. What does this food mean in ancient times? What is its original meaning? What sounds in ancient times? Food, Oracle writing, Jinwen, Xiaozhuan writing. Some people think that Oracle’s backward look like a mouth eating, so that it is a knowing word, meaning to eat.
