「家」字延伸學習 Chinese vocabulary study of 家
「家」是一個會意字。是和孩子息息相關，最貼身的一個字，在基礎漢字500課程的第一冊就出現了。除了最基本的意思之外，「家」還有不少其他的用法和含意。
One of the first characters taught in the Basic Chinese 500 course is 家. This is a word that is very relatable to a child. While its basic meaning is “home” or “family”, this character has a much broader use.
讓我們來看兩個字：
家 豬
你會發現這兩個字有一個共同的部件：豕。
豕，本來就是指豬。(現代「豬」字右邊的「者」是後來加上去的。) 豬為我們的先祖提供了食物的基本保障，因此古人認為光是頭頂有蓋並不足夠，必須要養有一頭豬，才能算是築起了個家。
家 shares a common part with 豬 (pig): 豕。This part originally means “pig”. The 者 on the right side of the modern-day character 豬 was added at a later time. Pig provided food security to our ancestors. As a result, they believed that having a roof above our heads was not enough to build a home. One also needs a pig.
起初的「家」字，屋蓋下面是一頭豬。
演變、簡化。
演變成現在的「家」字。
「家」的重要性 The importance of 家
子曰： 修身、齊家、治國、平天下。
一級級遞進的修為之道。家，僅次於自身，可見家的重要性。
We have the saying “ 修身、齊家、治國、平天下 ” (from Confucius) which sets out the priorities in one’s journey of self cultivation and life achievement:
- 修身 Cultivate one’s moral character;
- 齊家 Manage one’s household in an orderly manner;
- 治國 Rule the country well;
- 平天下 Bring peace to the world.
家 being second in the sequence makes it of great importance to our life-long practice.
「家」的其他含意 Beyond the basic meaning
「家」有「專家」的含意，比如以下的名稱：
家 means a specialist or an expert. Below are some examples
- 專家 (specialist)
- 畫家 (painter)
- 音樂家 (musician)
- 科學家 (scientist)
- 政治家 (politician)
- 作家 (writer)
家 as a classifier (量詞)
「家」也是一個量詞，用來數商店、公司、門戶。以下是一些例子。
家 is also a classifier. It is used for counting shops, companies, or families. For example,
- 一家戲院 (1 cinema)
- 兩家人家 (2 families)
- 三家餐廳 (3 restaurants)
- 四家公司 (4 companies)
- 五家醫院 (5 hospitals)
Being such a useful word, it is no wonder that it is taught in the very first book of Beginning Reader of the Basic Chinese 500 course.
延伸學習 Extended learning
溫故而知新，當孩子學習得一段時期，累積了一定的字詞量，就可以重溫一些過往學過的字，再把這些字結合起來，就可以學到很多新鮮的詞。這是一個很有效增加詞彙庫的方法。以下我們就來看看一些由「家」和其他課程中的字組成的詞吧。
It is obviously important for your child to do regular revision of what they have learnt. Once they have accumulated more characters, they can expand their vocabulary easily by combining what they have learnt already. Take the character 家 as an example, it can form many words by combing with other characters that are taught in the course. Below is a list for your reference.
