摘要
关于类字的构形,许慎认为是“种类相似,惟犬为甚”,这个说法显然是很牵强的。根据传世文献、甲骨文和金文的有关材料,可以考证类字的构形起源于商周的祭祖仪式。
About the structure of the character lei, Xu Shen deems it a representative of zhonglei because he thinks that dogs are the most similar animals in the world. But this is not entirely true. Based on the study of the original meaning of lei being zulei, this paper suggests that the structure of the character lei was evaluated from ancestor- worshipping ceremonies during the Shang and Zhou Dynasties according to documents handed down from ancient times, relevant materials of the oracle - bone inscriptions and bronze inscriptions.
