摘　　要：从“兹”字的历时演变来看,东汉之前从二“玄”形之“玆”一直是读子之切的词的主要使用字形,而隶楷字形中写作从“艸”之“兹”,则是东汉时由于构件异写而产生的异体字。从音义匹配关系来看,“兹”与“玆”本来都读子之切,陆德明以“玄”音注“玆”乃是受“字随音变”影响的误注。From the diachronic evolution of the character“Zi(兹)”,it can be seen that before the Eastern Han Dynasty,the form“Zi(兹)”,which is composed of two“Xuan(玄)”shapes,was the primary glyph used for words pronounced as“Zi Zhi Qie”(子之切).However,the clerical and regular script form written as“Zi(兹)”with“Cao(艸)”on top emerged as a variant character during the EasternHan Dynasty due to component variations in writing.From the perspective of Phonetic-Semanticmatching,both“Zi(兹)”and“Zi(兹)”were originally pronounced as“Zi Zhi Qie”(子之切).Lu Deming's annotation of the pronunciation of“Zi(兹)”as“Xuan(玄)”was a mistaken annotation influenced by the phenomenon of“characters changing with pronunciation”.
