略论饱水简牍的长期保存方式问题

Research on Long-term Preservation Methods for Waterlogged Bamboo Slips

饱水简牍是中国出土文物中极具学术价值的一类。它既是文物保护学界的保护对象,也是出土文献学界关注与研究的对象。对于如何长期保存饱水简牍,文保界多主张尽早脱水保藏,很多出土文献学者则主张饱水保藏,双方均有各自的依据。从出土文献学者的心理期许、现有脱水方法的缺陷、发挥饱水简牍的观赏利用价值等层面,可以看出双方产生分歧的缘由。通过增强出土文献学者的文保理念、改进简牍保护的材料与技术、处理好饱水简牍当下与未来的保护利用关系等途径,可以减少乃至消除双方的分歧。

Waterlogged bamboo slips are a type of Chinese unearthed cultural relics with great academic value.They are not just the object of protection for conservation scholars,but also draw the attention of scholars of unearthed texts.The question of how-to effectively preserve these slips for the long-term,has often been answered with immediate dehydration by conservation scholars,while many unearthed texts scholars have instead advocated preservation by waterlogging.Both parties have their own basis for their claims.Unearthed texts scholars tend to mark the defects of the current dehydration methods in comparison to the display value and visibility of waterlogged bamboo slips,revealing the source of the disagreement between the two sides.The differences can be narrowed and even eliminated by enhancing the cultural relic preservation awareness of unearthed texts scholars,improving the materials and technologies for the protection of bamboo slips,and handling the relationship between present and future protection and use of waterlogged bamboo slips.
