在翻阅大量文献的基础上,考查了"鼎""镬""釜""锅"的用例和语素搭配,认为:"锅"的前身是"釜";元明以后,"锅"逐渐取代"釜"成为普通炊具的称谓;"锅"与"釜"在形制、功用,以及隐喻繁衍等诸多方面具有一致性,但二者同中又有异,绝非简单的替换关系。
The cases and morpheme collocation of"Ding(鼎)","Huo(镬)","Fu(釜)","Guo(锅)"are studied on the basis of extensive literatures.It considers that,the predecessor of"Guo(锅)"is"Fu(釜)".After Yuan and Ming dynasty,"Guo(锅)"has been took the place of"Fu(釜)"gradually.On conformation,function and metaphor multiply,"Guo(锅)"and"Fu(釜)"is consistent.But there are still differences between them,not a simple substitution.
