“財用錢三十”用來買什麽?

What Could Buy with Thirty yuan?

本文結合出土文獻,考證了樂府古辭《雁門太守行》中的"財用錢三十,買繩禮竿"一句。考證的結論是古辭中的"財用錢"是指用來購買文具的專款,古辭中的"繩禮竿"當讀作"繩札簡"。傳世文獻《太平經》中的"財用/才用"與出土文獻中的"財用"用法相似,指文書用品,這是漢代值得注意的一種用法。

Combining with unearthed documents,this paper gives a research on a sentence of Yuefu Poetry,which is"Caiyongqiansanshi,Mai sheng li gan".The article concludes that"Caiyongqian(財用錢)"of the sentence refers to the money for stationery,and"sheng li gan(繩禮竿)"of the sentence should be read as"Sheng zhajian(繩札簡)".The word"Caiyong(財用)"used in the document Taiping Jing(太平經)has a same usage as the word used in the unearthed documents,which means stationery.This is a noteworthy usage of the word in the Han Dynasty.
