殷契研究六題

Abstract

甲骨文研究是對殷商乃至西周時期古文字、古史與文化人類學探究的基礎，對甲骨知識的確實掌握，將為理解整體上古知識帶來顯著的幫助。我們針對「『多万入學』與《夏小正》」、「疾病『蟥』字試釋」、「人頭骨刻辭『者』字釋讀」、「『□』字的辨識與思考」、「『□』即狐字申說」、「災禍義『齒』字考釋」這六項小題，做了探討與分析，某些主題並曾目驗材料。鑒於它們各自的學術特殊性，每一個問題雖然皆基於卜辭現象展開論述，都能夠推展成獨立的課題，綜合而言具有一定的學術意義。

The study of the oracle bone inscriptions is the basis of the study of ancient characters, ancient history and cultural anthropology in the Shang Dynasty and even the Western Zhou Dynasty. The mastery of the meaning of oracle bone inscriptions helps us to the understand ancient knowledge as a whole. In this article, we discuss and analyze six topics of ＂`Duo Wan Ru Xue` and Xia Xiaozheng (Small Calendar of the Xia Dynasty),＂ ＂Interpretation of the word `huang` indicating disease,＂ ＂Interpretation of the word `zhe` in the inscriptions on human skulls,＂ ＂Identification and consideration of the word `ji`,＂ ＂Argument on the word □ as `fox`＂ and ＂Research of the word `chi` (tooth).＂ Some materials related with these topics have been personally examined by the author. Although each topic is discussed in association with the phenomena of oracle inscriptions, due to the special nature, it can also be developed into an independent topic with its own academic significance.
