分类依据 Why these classifications?
传统六书分类可以交叉。前四类描述构形，假借与转注涉及用字或字词关系。标签可能对应不同历史或现代字形。问号表示暂定或传统解释；打开汉字可查看依据。 The six traditional classifications (六书) overlap. The first four describe construction; loangraphs and derivative cognates concern use or relationships. Tags may refer to different historical or modern forms. A question mark flags a provisional or traditional interpretation; open a character for its evidence.
