《说解汉字150讲》

《说解汉字150讲》 is one of the main books recommended in 57.说解汉字:屎尿屁为啥是“尸”字头?, where the hosts use it as an accessible entry point into Chinese-character origins and form history. The episode presents the book as a counterweight to folk拆字: readers should ask how a character moved through oracle-bone script, bronze inscriptions, seal script, clerical script, and modern forms before making a meaning claim.

In the source, the book helps turn examples such as 人、从、众、尸、尿、屎、包、孕、弃、鬼、舞, and 万 into demonstrations of Character Form Evolution and Script As Social History. The book is therefore not only a curiosity source; it supports Chinese Character Evidence Discipline as the episode’s method.
