An ancient literary genre primarily used for admonition and guidance. 古代一种文体,以告诫规劝为主:~铭(“箴”是规戒性的韵文;“铭”是刻在器物或碑石上兼于规戒、褒赞的韵文。因其作用有相似之处,故后人多连称)。 【本义】 The original meaning: a tool used for sewing, later referred to as "针" (needle). 缝衣用的工具。后作“针”。 【造字法】 Character formation: phonetic-semantic compound; from bamboo, and the sound "xian". 形声。从竹,咸声。 4. To admonish, to caution. 规劝,告诫。 引: To provide an example or reference. 名: 1. From Li Ji: "When clothing has tears, one should ask to mend with needle." 《礼记》:衣裳破绽,纫箴请补缀。 Examples: 如: 箴缕 (needle and thread); 箴末 (referring to something fine); 箴管 (referring to the act of sewing); 箴盥 (ancient women serving their mothers-in-law, seen as a regulation). 2. A probing instrument used in acupuncture. 针炙治病所用的针形器具。 Examples: 如: 箴石 (stone needle, an ancient medical tool, also refers to stones used for making needles); 箴砭 (ancient stone needle used for treatment, later metaphorically meaning to point out mistakes or advise). 3. A type of literary composition focused on admonition. 文体的一种,以规戒为表达的主题。 引: Referencing a passage from Jin Dynasty's Lu Ji's "Wen Fu": "The admonition has a rhythmic and clear force." 晋· 陆机《文赋》:箴顿挫而清壮。 Examples: 如: 箴铭 (a literary form; "箴" is a cautionary verse, while "铭" is often inscribed on objects or monuments for caution and praise). 引: To provide action or reference. 动: 4. To admonish or caution. 规劝,告诫。 引: For example, from "Dream of the Red Chamber": "The wise Xiangyun gently admonished Baoyu, while the witty Ping'er softly saved Jia Lian." 《红楼梦》:贤袭人娇嗔箴宝玉,俏平儿软语救贾琏。 Examples: 如: 箴谏 (to admonish someone to correct their mistakes); 箴砭 (to point out and correct errors); 箴规 (to counsel and caution); 箴诫 (to advise and caution); 箴诲 (to instruct and teach); 箴训 (admonition; instruction).
