基于树木和太阳创造的中国始源文字背壶字释义“東”

苑克俊

摘要：1959年在泰安市宁阳县堡头遗址发现一个背壶字，以2026年为基准它是大汶口文化中期距今5626—5126年时期、平均来说约5376年历史的文字。通过实景重现线索提出猜想和文献记载考证的方式，考证出其释义是“東”。背壶字传承发展出后世甲骨文、金文/战国陶文、小篆、隶书和楷书文字“東”。背壶字为中国文字和中华文明提供了有明确释义的五千多年前的文字实证，它演变为“東”字及其简体字“东”的过程充分证明了中国文字和中华文明的连续性, 确证中国文字“東”有五千多年的悠久历史。

Based on the mean of 5626 and 5126，it has a history of about 5376 years. As it looked like the actual scene what I saw, it was coincided with the discription of ‘dong’ in the literature，it was deciphered as  Chinese ‘dong’, which means east.  It was passed down and developed its later generation Chinese Jiaguwen writing (Oracle bone inscription), Jinwen writing (Bronze inscription)/Taowen writing in warring states period, Zhuanshu writing(Seal script), Lishu writing (Clerical script) and Kaishu writing (Regular script).

背壶字笔画粗重有力，明显具有毛笔书法字的笔画特点和美感，堪称毛笔字的始祖。就目前已知的知识，背壶字是一个具备形音义三种成分的完整意义文字，它有明确的实景起源、有绘写的字体、字体类似毛笔字、有确切释义并被后世文献记载印证、与其后世文字有明确传承关系、象大多数中国文字一样是复体表意文字、出现时间在五千多年前、与陶尊字前后接续共同构成系统的中国早期文字小字集。因此，在与陶尊字一起构建五千多年的中国文字和中华文明信史方面，背壶字可以提供坚实支撑。

在时间方面，相较于陶尊字的出现时期在距今五千年前后，背壶字出现时间完全在五千多年前，其在历史时长方面的支撑至关重要。

背壶字与后续的陶尊字、甲骨文、金文、小篆、隶书、楷书前后接续，共同构成中国文字五千多年连续发展的实物证据链，为中华文明的源远流长提供了来自文字学维度的坚实支撑。
