What is the essence of radical arrangement between storytelling and vocabulary?

The radical of storytelling is the radical of philology principle, and the radical of vocabulary is the radical of dictionary principle.

What is storytelling:

Shuowen, namely Shuowen Jiezi, is an ancient Chinese philology book written by Xu Shen in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it is also the first word book in China that systematically analyzes glyphs and expounds the etymology of Chinese characters. Written in 12 1, original book 14, narrative 1. The text is Xiao Zhuan, with 9353 words, which is also a word of ancient Chinese and Shu Chinese.

This book is quite different from the original in circulation. This book pioneered the radical arrangement method, which was used by later dictionaries. This book has made great contributions to the study of ancient characters, ancient documents and ancient history. In the Qing Dynasty, the study of storytelling became a specialized knowledge, and dozens of scholars annotated it.

Shuowen is a dictionary of ancient Chinese characters, which explains the original meaning according to the requirements of philology and strives to achieve two unification, namely, the unity of form and meaning and the unity of writing language. The so-called unity of form and meaning means that Shuowen comprehensively analyzes the configuration system of Biography and explains the original meaning of words according to form. The so-called unity of writing and language means that the interpretation of writing is directly summarized from literary language and consistent with literary language.
