In ancient Chinese characters, Guo (abbreviated as Guo) is passed down from mouth to mouth, and there are different opinions on whether to take "mouth" or "or" as the prototype. ? Mr. Ma Xulun claims that the word "Kou" is the original word of a country ... My Japanese academic friend Goto Asataro claims that "Or" is the original word of a country. He thinks that the people mentioned are all people after Qin and Han Dynasties.
He also published a paper in the sixth volume of the Journal of Chinese Studies, saying: "The word" country "has been a thing since the Qin and Han Dynasties. During the Zhou Dynasty, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there was only the word or.
According to: either the combination of Ge and Kou, which was also mentioned by Xu Shen in Shuo Wen Jie Zi in the later Han Dynasty, or the meaning of the bond master, obeying Ge, Ge and Shou, is still unknown.
Covering your mouth is the meaning of the country. If it is defended by weapons, it means territory, and sometimes it means fields.
Therefore, it means that a country owns the weapons territory of other countries and their tribes. For example, Wu Dacheng, Liu Xinyuan and Ruan Yuan expressed the word "country" as "or" (Supplement to Mao Gu Shu) or (Textual Research on Mao Boyi Gu Shu).
He takes "mouth as the meaning of context" and "one as the meaning of expression". It backfired. The first word in the mouth indicates the realm, the second word indicates the territory, and then the meaning is obtained.
Later, Mr. Fujita took "or" as the original word of the country, and he held it for a reason. ..... So I think that Chinese characters, regardless of their original form, mean to protect private property.
"Or" is used in the era of animal husbandry and in the era of agriculture. Later generations are integrated and surrounded by walls. The more private, the stronger the protection. The ancients often referred to the country as a country, which clearly shows that the country is closely related to land and agriculture and can be regarded as the same meaning. Therefore, in the eyes of the ancients, the word "country" can be used alone or together. The argument between them has nothing to do with the overall situation. ? "
