First, the origin of the word winter
The shape of Oracle Bone Inscriptions's "winter" remains to be verified. Many scholars believe that this glyph does not mean winter at first, but means "end". These Oracle Bone Inscriptions are like knots at both ends of a silk rope to show the meaning of the end, and they are the original characters of the word "end".
Winter is the last season of the four seasons, and the pronunciation of the word "late winter" is similar. Therefore, when we want to express the meaning of "final" to show its original meaning, later generations added the word "final" to the left of the word "winter" and created a word "final" to express it.
Second, the interpretation of winter
1, winter, the last season of the year, also refers to October to December of the lunar calendar.
Example: "Shangshu? Hong Fan: "There must be winter and summer in the journey between the sun and the moon. "
Liu Qing's "Planting Valley" II: "He will use that power to hire people to play clay kilns this winter, not to buy land."
2. The moon in winter; Solstice of winter; Hibernation; Overwintering; Midwinter, especially the winter moon, is commonly known as November of the lunar calendar.
Example: Shen's "Nanzhao unofficial history Yuejie Ci sends a message to the fisherman's pride": "In winter, the clouds in southern Yunnan protect the wild, and the plum blossoms in Caoxi Temple are yellow and fragrant."
3. Pass the "final". It's over, it's over.
For example: bamboo slips from the Han tomb in Yinque Mountain, The Art of War by Sun Tzu? Potential: "Winter starts again, the sun and the moon □." Think of this "winter" as "over".
4. Pass the "final". Refers to the whole time from the beginning to the end.
Example: silk script of Mawangdui Han Tomb, Lao Zi? Tao Jing: "The wind is not winter, and the storm is not winter." Think of this "winter" as "over".
5. The word (d ū ng) is the surname.
6. Onomatopoeia describes the sound of beating drums or knocking on doors.
Example: Don Gu Kuang's Journey to the Childe: "Drums are played in the morning and winter, and drums are played at dusk."
Liu Dabai's "Red New Year" poem: "Winter! Winter! ! Winter! ! ! The drums are far away! "
