Jiashuo was used as a disyllabic compound as early as the Pre-Qin period. The phrase “Zhong ni jia shuo” in Yang Xiong’s Fayan was traditionally interpreted as “spreading words”, while Wang Rongbao reinterpreted it as “unharnessing the carriage” (a metaphor for “death”) by refuting the phonetic loan theory, though this view has not been widely accepted. In fact, Wang’s interpretation is verifiable through the general usage of “jia” in the Han Dynasty, Yang Xiong’ s personal lexical habits, and the compilation style of Fayan, which conforms better to the linguistic reality of the Han Dynasty. Later, the meaning of “unharnessing the carriage” and its extensions originally carried by jiashuo were taken over by shuijia, mainly due to the psychology of revering antiquity and form-meaning contradictions from graphic borrowing. Meanwhile, jiashuo, misinterpreted semantically, evolved mainly from “disseminating theories” and derived meanings such as “fabrication”. The variant form jiashuo (written with “jia” meaning “frame”) in the Ming and Qing dynasties reconnected two evolutionary branches of the core lexeme “jia” and reverted to its original meaning, revealing a special path of Chinese lexical evolution. Suggestions for relevant dictionary entries are also proposed.
