“族”在古代,是旗帜和箭的组合。为什么旗帜和箭组成了“族”呢?原来,在上古时期,人类为了生存,相互间常常会有征战。有血缘关系的人纷纷聚集在印着同一标志的旗帜下,拿起手中的箭,对抗共同的敌人,同生共死。这样的团体因血缘关系、生存意志和共同的目标团结在一起,逐渐形成一个稳定的组织,这就是“族”。(选自《兴趣语文》) “Clan ” in ancient times, is a combination of flags and arrows. Why do flags and arrows form a “clan”? Originally, in ancient times, humans often had expeditions in order to survive. People with blood ties have gathered under the flag bearing the same sign, picked up the arrows in their hands and confronted the common enemy, living together for the same life and death. Such groups are united by their blood relationship, their will to live and their common goals to gradually form a stable organization. This is the “clan”. (From “language of interest”)
