丝

• 拼音: sī
• 汉字拆解: 丝 = pictograph of twisted silk threads — the two spiral shapes at top represent coiled silk, the bottom represents the unified thread

含义

Silk; a fine thread or strand; a tiny trace or amount. Used both literally for silk fibre and figuratively as a measure of the smallest quantity.

As a noun, 丝 refers to raw silk thread spun by silkworms or any similarly fine filament. As a measure word, 一丝 means a thread of or the slightest bit of, often appearing in negative constructions such as 没有一丝风 (not a breath of wind). Its cultural significance is immense given silk's central role in Chinese civilisation for millennia.
