檄篆隶xí
【析形】形声字。古文字形从木,敫声。从木,表示木简所写文书,敫有快速义,兼有表意作用,表示文书传递速度快。
【释义】《说文》:“尺二书。”本义是古官府用以征召士兵、晓谕敌情、声讨敌人的文书。檄属于急件,特别紧急时,在檄上插羽毛,表示像飞一样快速传递,后代的鸡毛信就是檄的遗俗。古代檄分板檄和合檄两种。板檄是公开的檄,不加封盖,便于晓谕大众;合檄是秘密文书,加木板覆盖,用绳子绑住,再加上封泥,防止中途拆阅。
【shape analysis】It is the pictophonetic character. In ancient character the meaningful part is木(mù,wood) which means wooden slips used for writing and the phonetic component is敫(jiǎo,fast)which means a fast transit of the written paper.
【original meaning】 The written documents for ancient imperial government to recruit soldiers, get the news of the enemy,and denounce the enemy.
