Do you know how to pronounce the word "龘"?According to the Kangxi Dictionary, "龘" comes from the first regular script dictionary "Jade Chapter", and the sound is the same as "沓 (dá)" to refer to the appearance of the dragon soaring. "Long Xing Lang" describes the appearance of the dragon taking off, high-spirited and enthusiastic.
The character 龘 first appeared in ancient oracle bone inscriptions and gold inscriptions, which appear mysterious and ancient. The origin of this word is closely related to ancient religion and sacrifice. According to the record of "Shuowen Jie Zi", Lu is an auspicious beast in ancient mythology, named "Qi Long", and its image and sound were described by the ancients with the word Lu. Therefore, the original meaning of the word 龘 can be understood as a mysterious and auspicious beast.
In ancient literature, the word 龘 was often used to symbolize good things. For example, in the Book of Songs, the character 龘 is used to describe a beautiful scene: "The dragon is nine times, and the birds are falcons and partridges." Here, the "Dragon" vividly depicts a beautiful picture, while the "Bird Falcon and Partridge" represents the harmony and beauty of the natural world.
Look at the mountains all over the world, follow me to read the words and the circle", * Radio and Television Station's 2023 Internet Spring Festival Gala, Kang Hui, Sa Beining, Nigmaiti, and Zhu Guangquan performed "Follow Me to Read the Words and Circles", and "CCTV boys" popularized a lot of rare words for everyone, showing the charm of Chinese character culture. Among them, the character is mentioned, "垚 (yáo) 壵 (zhuàng) crystal (jīng) 馫 (xīn) 飝 (fēi) 龘 (dá) 犇 (bēn) 骉 (biāo) 鱻 (xiān) 羴 (shān)".
These rare characters have left a unique historical imprint.
During the interview, the literary and historical writer Hou Yinguo told reporters that the nine-fold seal is a seal script font commonly used in ancient official seals in China, and it has been used until the Qing Dynasty after the Song Dynasty. Since the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the size of the official seal has become larger and larger, and in order to avoid the monotony and emptiness of the printing surface, the twists and turns of the seal writing will be turned back. Especially after the Southern Song Dynasty, it imitated the Miao seal of the Han and Wei dynasties ("Miao" is the meaning of silk, and its words are bent and entangled), and there are more twists and falls, and sometimes there can be more than ten stacks in a painting. Nine stacks does not mean that it is stacked exactly nine times, but it describes the number of overlapping layers of strokes. This font appears more atmospheric, and it is not easy to read, and it also has an anti-counterfeiting effect in ancient times. The nine-fold seal lacks agility in art, but it has long been used as a commonly used font for official seals, symbolizing national authority and having a solemn temperament.
