【摘要】

“風”字何以从“虫”表义，清代《说文》注家多有说解，近现代以来古文字研究者亦多有探讨。本文依照最新出土的古文字材料，对“風”字的构型进行新的分析，对其构型本义和来源问题进行探讨。并在此基础上，对“空穴来風”一词加以新的解读。

Why character “feng 風” uses “chong 虫” as the semanic symbol? Both annotators of Shuowen in Qing Dynasty and today’s ancient characters scholars have done a lot of research on it. According to newly published excavated documents, this paper reanalyzes the structure of character “feng 風”, and puts forward some new discussion about the origin of this character. On the basis of this opinion, this paper also puts forward a new explanation of the set phrase “kongxuelaifeng 空穴来風”.
