First, exegetics.
Exegetics is an interpretation of China's ancient books and a comprehensive applied discipline. Exegetics is a subject that studies the meaning of traditional ancient books in China, and it is a branch of traditional philology and primary schools in China. Exegetics originated in the pre-Qin period, and Erya at the end of the Warring States period is considered as the earliest exegetical work.
While exegetics explains ancient words, it also analyzes the grammatical and rhetorical phenomena in ancient books, studies ancient documents from the perspective of language, and helps people read classic documents. Exegetics can be divided into broad sense and narrow sense. The broad sense of exegetics includes phonology and philology, while the narrow sense of exegetics is only a discipline opposite to phonology and philology in primary school. Some people also divide exegetics into old and new.
Second, phonology.
Phonology is a science that studies Chinese phonetic system, including ancient phonology, modern phonology, northern phonology and homophones, and it is an important branch of generalized linguistics. Phonology, also known as phonology, is a traditional knowledge to study the sound, rhyme and tone system and its development law in various historical periods of ancient Chinese, and it is an important part of ancient Chinese.
Introduction to philology:
Philology is one of the branches of linguistics, which takes characters as the research object, and studies the nature, word formation, origin and development, the relationship between form, sound and meaning, orthography, the creation and transformation of characters, and the evolution of individual characters. The knowledge of philology is helpful to improve and transform words and create words for languages without words.
Understanding ancient Chinese characters is helpful to the study of historical science. Chinese characters in our country have a long history and complex structure, so philology, as a pioneering discipline to study all history and culture, is particularly developed in our country. In our country, the generalized philology, which comprehensively studies the sound, form and meaning of words, was called primary school in ancient times.
Linguistics is a discipline that systematically and scientifically studies the essence, origin and application of language, learns the basic knowledge of modern linguistics, psychology, cognition and other disciplines, and trains linguistic professionals with complete modern linguistic knowledge structure and international compound talents with interdisciplinary vision.
