摘　　要：文章梳理了与"气"相关的几个字之间的源流关系,从文字学角度分析"气""氣"等字的构形理据,可以看出与"气"相关的5个字,相互之间有着时间上的继承与演变关系。"气""炁""氣""餼""乞"5个字,"餼""炁"字已经废除不用了,而"氣"字作为繁体字仍在使用。"气"作为"氣"的简体字在使用。"气"字概况表示了"云气"和"真气""廪氣"3个概念。而"乞"字则是"气"字的省减,被借用表示"乞借"之义。中医基础理论关于"气的基本概念"的3种观点均直接来源于"气""炁""氣"等字包含的概念。To investigate the origin of characters relevant to 气 by analyzing the structural motivation of 气 and 氣 in the perspective of philology.It is found that the five characters relevant to 气 either succeed to or evolve from one another.In general,of 气,炁,氣,餼,and 乞,餼 and 炁 are now out of use,氣 is being used as a traditional Chinese character,and 气 as the simplified form of 氣.气 represents the conception of cloud,vital qi and granary qi.乞 is an abridged form of 气 and is borrowed to represent the meaning of begging.The three viewpoints concerning the basic conceptions of qi in the basic theory of traditional Chinese medicine directly originate from the implications of 气,炁,and 氣.
