汉字总量递代累增 纵观汉字发展史，汉字的总量在不断扩容而常用字量趋于稳定，两条主线并行不悖，共同演绎着中华文 化的千年字脉。汉字数量知多少？至今无人能说出确切的数字，但历代编纂的字典辞书，较为清晰地勾 勒了汉字总量变迁的历史脉络。 东汉许慎撰《说文解字》，首次对汉字数量做出统计，它收正篆"九千三百五十三文，重一千一百六十 三"。在此之后，人们依据《说文》对汉字的解构，创制了大量汉字，绝大多数存入了历代编纂的字 书。晋代《字林》收12824字，南朝（梁）《玉篇》收16917字，宋代《类篇》收31319字，明代《字 汇》收33179字，清代《康熙字典》收47035字，现代《汉语大字典》收54678字、《中华字海》收85568 字，而2018年出版的《汉字海》收102434字，成为迄今收字数量最多的字书。可见从古到今，汉字总量 在不断增加，而新增汉字成了解码时代社会风貌的符号密钥。 新增汉字是生产生活发展的记录。如甲骨文"幺""糸"本为一字，《新甲骨文编》"幺"部收2字，"糸"部 收12字，《说文》"幺"部收2字，而"糸"部收正篆达248字，数量剧增，一定程度上反映了先秦缫丝纺织 的快速发展。再如，甲骨文"车"字异 ...
