《核舟记》原文赏析
“核舟者，舟也，舟之中有核，核舟记，记核舟之奇也。”
这段话开篇即点明主题,核舟，即以核桃木精雕细琢而成的微型舟船，其本身即蕴含着无尽的奇妙，而《核舟记》正是为了记录和展现这一奇妙之作。
“舟之长可三尺，宽可一尺，舟中有一室，室中有一床，床上有枕，枕上有席，舟之前有帆，后有舵，帆之高可三尺，舵之长可一尺五寸，舟之两旁有栏，栏之高可三寸，栏之宽可一寸，舟之顶有篷，篷之高可三尺，篷之长可一尺五寸，舟之中有一炉，炉中有一鼎，鼎中有火，火中有烟，舟之中有一壶，壶中有酒，酒中有味。”
此段详细描绘了核舟的尺寸、结构以及内部的装饰，从帆、舵、栏、篷到炉、鼎、壶，无不彰显出匠人的精湛技艺和对生活细节的精心考量。
