How to decoding Chine
3. Analysing the phonograms
The oracle bone scriptions of three thousand years old are mainly pictographs, the phonograms account for only about 20 percent. Until Qin and Han Dynasties of 2000 years ago, the phonograms were dramatically increased. In 《Word And Expression》, the phonograms were about 82 percent. In modern Chinese, there are about 90 percent phonograms. It can be seen that it is important to analyse the phonograms. The phonograms have three advantages. Firstly, they have elements indicating pronounciation, one 70-80 percent knows how to read them simply by first look; secondly, the character structure is simple, there is an element for form and also an element for pronounciation, it is easy to analyse; thirdly, there are rules applied to more complicated phonograms. The following methods apply: a) the sound element is parent, the form element step mother ( the sound element is prior to the form element); b) to catch the bandits, first catch the ringleader, to know how to read, first know what is parent element (the form element contains real meaning); c) a scholar is shrewd enough to just read the half character (only for some phonograms).
3、形声解析法:三千多年前的甲骨文以象形字为主,形声字仅占20%,发展到二千年前的秦汉时期,形声字大量增加,《说文解字》中,形声字占82%,现代汉语中形声字已占90%。由此可知解析形声字该是多么重要。形声字有三个优点:一是它有表声部份,一读就能知晓七八分;二是组字方法简单,一形一声,解析比较容易;三是较复杂的形声字有主有次,有规律可循。解析的方法是:①声旁是生母,形旁是晚娘(声在形先的字);②擒贼先擒王,认字先认娘(从形旁诠释字义);③秀才生得尖,认字认半边(只对部份形声字而言)。当然,有的形声字解读比较困难,需要具体分析和研究。
