同学们,你们知道“止”最开始的意思是什么吗?如果不看“止”的甲骨文形象,我们可能不会想到它如今的意思是从“脚”引申过来的。“止”的甲骨文样子为“脚趾朝左,脚后跟朝右”。《广韵》云:“止,足也。”可见,“止”的本义是“脚”。《汉书·刑法志》有“斩左止”之说,这种刑法就是将一个人的左脚砍掉,非常残酷。后来,人们在“止”的旁边加上了“足”旁,就变成了“趾”。“止”从“脚”又引申到了“停止”义。如《韩非子》中说:“令则行,禁者止。”又如《诗经》:“交交黄鸟,止于桑。”意思是说,交交而鸣的 Students, do you know what the beginning of “stop” is? If we do not look at the Oracle image of “stop”, we may not think of what it means now to be derived from “foot”. “Only ” Oracle look like “toe left, heel right ”. “Guangyun” cloud: “only, enough also. ” Can be seen, “only ” the original meaning is “foot ”. “Han criminal law” has “cut left ” said, this criminal law is to cut off a person’s left foot, very cruel. Later, people added “foot” next to “stop” and became “toe.” “Stop ” extended from “foot ” to “stop ” meaning. Such as “Han Feizi” said: “Order line, ban those stop.” Another example is the “Book of Songs”: “hand over the yellow bird, stop at the Mulberry.”
