电(diàn)

 
字形:
本字“申”,是闪电的象形,本义也是闪电。后引申为电力电子的意思。中国古人认为电的现象是阴气与阳气相激而生成的,约公元一世纪有关于静电的记载,但那时人们对于电并没有太多了解。现代中国   每年用电量很大,除煤电外,中国也在发展其他能源电力。
The original form was written as “申”, a pictographic character of lightning. In fact its original meaning was lightning too. Later it meant electricity and electron. Ancient Chinese people thought lightning was caused by the clash of positive and negative gaseous forces.  In 1st century AD, it had the records of static electricity. However, at that time, people did not know very much about electricity. China today consumes large quantity of electricity.  Besides coal, China is also developing other energy electricity.
