马(馬)(mǎ)

 
字形:
“马”字的古体是一个长有长长鬃毛的马的形象,上部是长脸、下面是马尾。虽然中国从史前就有马,  但是与他们在大草原、北部和西部的邻居不同,汉族不是经常与马打交道的民族。在中国,一般来说马不用作耕地、拉车,这些都由牛和水牛来做。他们也不用马拉东西,而由驴、骡和骆驼做这种事。作为人类的运输工具,船、轿子和独轮车比马更普遍。
The ancient form of the character "马" was a horse with long mane. The top of the character represents the long face of the horse and the bottom is its long tail. Different from their neighbors in the north and west, the Han people did not use horses very often, although horses had existed since prehistoric time. Generally, Chinese ancients used cattle and water buffalos rather than horses to cultivate. Instead of using horses to pull heavy loads, they used donkeys and mules. As conveyance, boats, sedan chairs and wheelbarrows were more popular than horses.
