网络内容摘要 (Web Content Summary):

土（拼音：tǔ）是汉字中常用的基本字，其核心含义是“土地”或“土壤”。 “土” (pinyin: tǔ) is a commonly used Chinese character, whose core meaning is “earth”, “soil”, or “land”.

“土”最早见于商代甲骨文，字形像地面上的土堆或土块，是一种典型的象形字。 The earliest forms of this character were found in Shang dynasty oracle bone script, where its shape resembled a mound of soil, making it an example of a pictographic character.

• 引申含义： 除了指土地或土壤外，“土”还可以指家乡、本地，例如“土产”（local product）、“乡土”（homeland）。 Extended meanings: Besides land or soil, it can refer to one’s homeland or locality, as in “土产” (local product), “乡土” (homeland).
• 有时“土”用来形容不时髦、不合潮流，如“土气”、“土得掉渣”。 Sometimes, “土” is used to mean something out-of-fashion or rustic, e.g., “土气” (unsophisticated).
• 在中国传统文化中，“土”是五行（金、木、水、火、土）之一，象征大地、中央。 In traditional Chinese culture, “土” is one of the five elements (metal, wood, water, fire, earth), symbolizing the earth and the center.
• “土”也有特别用法，如古代祭祀土地神时用“社”。 “土” also appears as an ancient word “社”, related to the worship of earth deities in ancient times.
• 注意与“士”（shì，意为学者或战士）、“吐”（tǔ，意为吐出）区别，形似但意义不同。 Be careful not to confuse “土” with similar-looking characters such as “士” (scholar/warrior) or “吐” (to spit), as their meanings are different.
