《左传》、《国语》筮数“八”之初探

A tentative research on the divination number of "eight" recorded in Zuo Zhuan and Guo Yu

《左传》、《国语》是记载春秋时期历史事件的重要典籍,对于我们考究先秦人们治《易》之基本情状,具有不可低估的作用。“八”字之谜乃《左传》、《国语》中存留至今的“阙疑”,本人在前人研究的基础上,对“八”字之疑阐发一下个人浅见,旨在抛砖引玉,与读者朋友共同商榷.

As important classics recording historical events of the Spring period, Zuo Zhuan (Zuo's Commentaries on the Spring Annals) and Guo Yu(Remarks of Monarchs) could exert functions which can not be underrated for us to study the basic circumstance in I Ching learning research of the pre-Qin times. The character of '八'(eight) has been a puzzle left by Zuo Zhuan and Guo Yu. On the basis of the predecessors' achievements, the author elucidated her opinion on the character of '八',to induce others to come forward with better ideas.
