Although we all know what the meaning of many words, they are all vague. We cannot say why "words" are written as "words", and we will not go into delving into it or quaint with words. If you want to understand yourself and the world, these concepts need to be accurately understood, just like accurately measuring and building theoretical models in the physical world.
This article is a word and Chinese character that I noticed during my study that I did not really understand.
1. "Change" of culture, change, chemistry, etc.
characters: two human forms, one positive and one reverse, representing "change", which is extended to "creation", "death", "dissolution", etc. The basic meaning of
culture: the change of words, the concept of "literature" is enlarged and abstracted, and what I get is "culture"
chemistry, a subject of change. I have never cared about it before. "Chemistry" is "chemistry". The subject of studying the changes of molecular formula , so why not be called "change"? Because "transformation" also has the meaning of fortune and nature.
2. "Fantasy" of scope, specifications, etc.
original meaning: Before traveling in ancient times, sacrifices to the road god, and phonography characters. Si (pronounced fan in ancient times), represents the pronunciation of the character, and also means mold and law. That is, to sacrifice to the road god, must follow certain rules and forms, and then extend it as an example.
range: refers to boundaries, limits, a certain time and space limitation; ( Handian.com )
means, if you change the word, such as boundary, limit, and limit circle, how?
is not satisfactory (unsatisfactory: can generally satisfy people. So I changed the word )
because there is a "law" constraint in the "range".
