{嘴}是产生于东汉的一个新词,最初用“觜”“■”“(口隽)”记录,多指鸟嘴强调外形尖利的特微。随著用字的归一化,“觜”到唐宋时期变得最为常用,其他则逐步消亡。其后,由于{嘴}本身的语义变化,不再强调尖利而是泛指人与动物的嘴,因此为其加形旁作“嘴”。这样增加了书写的复杂程度,因此又有将其简化作“咀”的努力,这一努力没有成功。 {Mouth} is a new word originated in the Eastern Han Dynasty. It was originally recorded in “”, “” “” (口 隽) With the normalization of the word, “觜 ” became the most commonly used during the Tang and Song dynasties, while others were gradually disappearing. Later, because of the semantic changes of {Mouth} itself, it no longer emphasizes sharpness but refers to the mouth of human beings and animals. This has increased the complexity of writing and, as a result, has also been reduced to “Tsui,” an effort that failed.
