動詞“割”用於“割取植物”的意義最早出現在西漢時期。桓寬《監鐵論》中的“割草不痛”是目前文獻中所能看到的最早用例。惠漢到隋唐五代時期,動詞“割”用於表達“割取植物”的意義雖然也偶見用例,但總起來說發展比較緩慢。直到兩宋時期,用於“割取植物”義的動詞“割”纔最終完全成熟。 The meaning of the verb “cut ” used in “cutting plants ” first appeared in Western Han Dynasty. Huan Kuan “on iron” in the “mow does not hurt” is the earliest use cases can be seen in the literature. During the period from the time of Huaihan to the Sui, Tang and Five Dynasties, the verb “cut ” is used to express the meaning of “cutting a plant”. Although it is occasionally used, the development is relatively slow. Until the Song and Song dynasties, the verb “cut” which was used to cut the meaning of plants was finally fully matured.
