“余”字本义的“帝自称说”汉字字源学考辩

摘要：“余”字本义释义存在多种解说。但究竟哪种解说合乎逻辑思辨和推理的科学性标准，需要进行汉字字源学层面的考证辨析。该文提出“余”字本义的“帝自称说”，借助“炎黄崇拜”假说的理论工具，从“余”字字族、“亼”字字族、专有名称、专有地名、专有自称5个维度进行了系统的考辩，得出“余”应为上古华夏文明中帝对自己的专有称谓，“余”字造字构型应当从亼从木。其中“亼”字字根代表了“△”形帝陵、神庙或神坛，是“炎黄崇拜”的标志性建筑形制；“木”字字根为“炎黄”二帝来自神授之权杖的简体造型。该文的探索性研究旨在为“余”字本义的“帝自称说”提供有力论证的同时，亦能够验证“炎黄崇拜”假说在建构汉字字源学理论体系中的有效性。
