說「東」

The ‘East’

本文試從《說文》「東」的釋形釋義與互見字例，對照甲金古文和文獻、出土材料，以「象」的角度來審視，透視文字部件之象所要表達的文化原型。「東」的「動」義源自於蒼龍星象、陰陽五行思想的作用，而「東」所從的「日」、「木」，以錯見筆法寓寄答案於「榑」、「叒」二字的說解中，深深關係著太陽日中烏、扶桑若木神話。漢字克隆（clone）自然萬物形態，其實就是「象」這龐大記憶體在發揮信息轉錄、轉譯與再創造功能，其所呈顯之「意」是天人合一的大體系。

This study on the meanings and the related characters of the 'east' of Shuo Wen Jie Zi, we want to contrast oracle-bone scripture, bronze inscriptions, unearthed products and records, in order to observe perspicuously the cultural archetype of the Chinese characters with a 'image' view. The 'movement' meaning of the 'east' related to green dragon star and Yin Yang Wu Xing. The 'sun' and 'tree' of the 'east' related to the myth about the crow in the sun how to rise. The Chinese characters clone the nature which is a large law of heaven system in fact that the 'image' produces a marked effect.
