清末民初湖湘学派的古文字研究

Ancient Chinese Characters Researches of Huxiang Schools in Late Qing(清) Dynasty and the Early of Minguo

文章从史的角度,分析了清末民初湖湘学派的领军人物叶德辉在文字学方面的著作,认为他的研究虽涉及到一些出土材料,但并非现代意义上的严格的古文字研究,从整体来看,仍属于《说文》研究的范畴。这实际上也就是当时湖湘学派在古文字研究方面的水平。造成这种现象的原因,与材料的缺乏有关,也与当时湖湘学人的主流学术思想有关。

This paper dicusses YeDehui＇s（叶德辉） works on ancient Chinese characters in historical perspective. YeDehui （叶德辉） was one of the outstanding representatives of Hux- iang（湖湘） schools. This paper considers that his studies involved in some unearthed materials, but it was not strict researches of ancient Chinese characters, and still in areas of Shuo- wen＇s researches. This situation reflected the level of Huxiang（湖湘） schools actually, and the reasons had much to do with the lack of materials and also the main academic thought of Huxiang（湖湘） schools.
