如何使用Python优雅的合并两个字典Dict

 x = {'a': 1, 'b': 2}
 y = {'b': 3, 'c': 4}

>>> z
{'a': 1, 'b': 3, 'c': 4}

z = {**x, **y}

z = x.copy()
z.update(y)

def merge_two_dicts(x, y):
    """Given two dicts, merge them into a new dict as a shallow copy."""
    z = x.copy()
    z.update(y)
    return z

 z = merge_two_dicts(x, y)

def merge_dicts(*dict_args):
    """
    Given any number of dicts, shallow copy and merge into a new dict,
    precedence goes to key value pairs in latter dicts.
    """
    result = {}
    for dictionary in dict_args:
        result.update(dictionary)
    return result

z = merge_dicts(a, b, c, d, e, f, g) 

 z = dict(x.items() + y.items())

>>> c = dict(a.items() + b.items())
