刘墉给孩子的汉字启蒙书

我们常能看见太阳已经出来了，月亮还没落下去。把太阳和月亮放在一起，是不是也能表示早上呢？ 可以！但是要表现太阳还在草里，没有完全升起，这就是“朝”字的由来。日本*大的报纸《朝日新闻》，就取了“朝”和“日”作报纸的名字，意思是每天早上出的报纸。 “朝” means “early morning”, because at dawn, we can still see the moon while the sun is rising. So when you put the sun and moon together, can it also mean “dawn”? Yes! However, the sun must be shown to be in the grass because it has not yet fully risen. Japan, s largest newspaper 《朝日新闻》 has the words “朝”and “日”, meaning that it is a newspaper which comes out every morning. 学了“早”，你或许要问，傍晚该怎么写？ 太阳西落时不是也落在草上吗？与“早”有什么不同呢？ 中文字里是有不同的，它不像“早”，把太阳画在草上，而是画在草当中，表示太阳落到草里去了。后来，不知为什么又加了一个太阳，成为今天的“暮”字。 After learning “morning”“早”, you might ask, “How do you write ‘dusk’?” When the sun sets, doesn, t it set in the grass also? Then what is the difference between the two words? Unlike “早”, where the sun rises over the grass, the sun in “dusk”“暮” has already set into the grass. Later, for reasons not known to us, another sun was added to make the current character for dusk:“暮”.
