Where it comes from

多見於先秦典籍。

Meyer (2010)認為本義「屋簷和棟樑」是寓所整個空間的借代；這個比喻後來被早期作者和後來的《淮南子》撰稿人引用為「宇宙的隱喻，以「屋簷」（宇）和「棟樑」（宙）分別代表構成整個現象宇宙的空間和時間的維度」。

noun

  1. 包括地球和其他天體在內的無限空間 探索宇宙的奧秘
  2. 屋簷和棟樑 而燕雀佼之，以為不能與之爭於宇宙之間。
  3. 天地，天下 經緯天地而材官萬物，制割大理而宇宙裡矣。
  4. 空間與時間 舜以天下讓善卷，善卷曰：「余立於宇宙之中，冬日衣皮毛，夏日衣葛絺；春耕種，形足以勞動；秋收斂，身足以休息；日出而作，日入而息，逍遙於天地之間而心意自得。吾何以天下為哉？悲夫！子之不知余也！」遂不受。於是去而入深山，莫知其處。

In English

  • world the universe
  • space area beyond atmosphere of planets
  • universe the Universe
  • cosmos universe regarded as a system with harmony and order
