段玉裁转注理论试析

On Duan Yu-cai’s（段玉裁） Theory of Mutual Explanations

段玉裁的转注理论源于业师戴震，但有所拓宽，并有大量的实践，形成一种比较系统、影响深远的转注说。段氏认为转注有二义：一是指互相为训，二是指以同意之字为训。段氏还根据转注关系考定了不少《说文》误字，充分发挥了转注的功用。

Duan Yu-cai’s（段玉裁） theory of mutual explanations originated from his teacher Dai Zhen（戴震） but he made a further development and put into a lot of practical uses, forming a comparatively systematic theory. Duan（段） held that mutual explanations bear two meanings: one is based on the mutual relations, the other refers to the explanations by means of the synonyms. According to this theory, Duan（段） corrected some wrong words in Shuowen Jiezi（说文解字）.
