前言
本节收录的词根,则打破了“通过字⺟顺序排列”词根的⽼路⼦,⽽是将词根按照逻辑和同义同类顺序进⾏了归类。根据⽣物产⽣、进化和演变的规律,我们将词根赋予⽣命⼒和某种形象⽣动,并且按照⾃然发展的规律,分成了五⼤类的词根:
第⼀类词根:“认识⾃然”,⽣物出现在世界上之后,做的第⼀件事情就是认识⾃然界,了解⽣与死,了解⾃然界中存在的物质现象和周遭的环境。发现了⼭川河流、草⽉动植、星⾠⽃转、昼夜交替等⾃然现象。按照这个逻辑,我们将相应的词根进⾏了排序;
第⼆类词根:“认识⾃我”,⽣物了解了⾃然界和⾃⾝所处的环境后,就讲⺫光投向了本我。⼈类开始了解⾃⾝的躯体、四肢、器官以及他们的功能。甚⾄,我们可以根据⼈的⾝体结构,来勾画出⼀张词根地图;
第三类词根:“改造⾃然”,⽣物进化,更确切地说,⼈类进化,在经历了认识⾃然和认识⾃我之后,就开始制造⼯具,并且利⽤⼯具去改造他们所处的⾃然和环境。在这个部分,产⽣了⼤量的与⼈类动作相关性极强的词根;
第四类词根:“情感智⼒”,在⼈类改造⾃然的过程中,势必会发挥并且不断完善情感智⼒。没有了情感智⼒,⼈类⽆法相处,⽽改造⼤⾃然的进程也势必受阻;
第五类词根:“⼈与社会”,在这部分词根中,主要根据进化演变过程中,⼈类逐渐剥离了⾃然的野性野蛮、简单粗暴,⽽学会了⼈际沟通与合作、商业和计量的产⽣、国家政府和统治的出现、法律规范的产⽣以及⽂明的进步。因此,这部分词根显得“⾼⼤上”!
在五个⼤的逻辑分类的下⾯,我们⼜就提衍⽣了很多⼩的语义和逻辑相关的线索以及词根。这么排序的⺫的在于,让考⽣可以有清晰的记忆脉络和理解路径。
