利簋铭文“岁鼎克闻”释诂

Explanation of“Suidingkewen 岁鼎克闻”in the LiGui 利簋 Inscription

文章从史料可信度的角度解释利簋铭文中的“岁鼎克闻”。《史记·周本纪》史料可信度高,其与利簋铭文宜以史证史,互相发明。《周本纪》载武王牧野伐纣过程为“二月甲子昧爽,武王……杖黄钺……予其誓……斩纣头……闻于天”,利簋铭文“唯甲子朝,岁(戉,杖黄钺)、鼎(则,予其誓)、克(斩纣头)、闻(闻于天)”正与之契合。而利簋铭文准确释读亦再次验证《史记》乃“史家之绝唱”,其名不虚传。研究表明,铭文释读往往并非仅征引史料所能作罢,需观其史料可信度。

The article explains the“Suidingkewen岁鼎克闻”in the Ligui利簋inscription from the perspective of the credibility of historical materials.The historical materials of“Shiji·Zhoubenji史记·周本纪”have high credibility,and they should be used as historical evidence and mutually invented with the Ligui利簋inscriptions.The“Zhoubenji周本纪”records that the process of King Wu of Zhou Dynasty attacked on King Zhou of Shang Dynasty in the outskirts of the city Muye牧野of Shang Dynasty.That is to say concretely,in the second month,on the day of Jiazi甲子,it was dawn,and King Wu of Zhou Dynasty Picked up the Tianzi天子war by hand…swore to him…beheaded the head of Zhou…smelled by the emperor",and the Ligui利簋inscription“Weijiazichao唯甲子朝,Sui岁(Yue戉,Zhanghuangyue杖黄钺)、Ding鼎(Ze则,Yuqishi予其誓)、Ke克(Zhanzhoutou斩纣头)、Wen闻(Wenyutian闻于天)”is in line with it.The accurate interpretation of the Ligui利簋inscription once again confirms that“Shiji史记”is the masterpiece of historians,and its reputation is well deserved.The research has shown that the explanation of inscriptions is often not limited to citing historical materials,but rather depends on the credibility of their historical materials.
