《切韵序》校议一则

Notes on the Collation Work of Qieyun Xu

隋代陆法言所撰《切韵》,是汉语语言学的经典文献。故宫博物院藏唐写本王仁昫《刊谬补缺切韵》,是现存唐五代《切韵》系列韵书写本文献中保存最完整的一种,具有重要的学术价值。《切韵》序言起首“昔开皇初,有刘仪同臻……等八人,同诣法言宿,夜永酒阑,论及音韵”一句,S.2055号、P.2129号敦煌残卷和《大宋重修广韵》“宿”上并有“门”字,前贤以为是,并据此校补。本文考察中古汉语文献,认为故宫博物院藏唐写本王仁昫《刊谬补缺切韵》不仅不误,它本反而应据此删去“门”字。

Qieyun,a dictionary of Chinese characters arranged by tone and rhyme,was written by Lu Fayan in the SuíDynasty.Kanmiu Buque Qieyun edited by Wang Renxu is one of the most complete versions from the Tang Dynasty and is of great scholarly value.The preface of this copy includes the sentence“Tongyi Fayansu”(同诣法言宿),but other versions add an extra word“men”(门)to this sentence.Most scholars accept the latter version.This paper examines the Chinese literature of the Middle Ages and concludes that the Tang version of Wang Renxu's Kanmiu Buque Qieyun in The Palace Museum is correct and the word“men”should be deleted from the text.
