《洪秀全选集》词语札记

On the Vocabulary of Hong Xiu-quan’s Anthology

太平天国各种文书有的用浅近的文言写成,有的用语体文写成,甚至近于口语。但由于太平军中隐语术语甚多,加以方言俗语与文言掺杂,因此有很多词句不明、意义难以理解的地方。本文以《洪秀全选集》为语言材料,从普通词汇、避讳和隐语等方面简略分析太平天国文书的语言特色。

In all kinds of records during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, some were written in classical Chinese, some were written in spoken Chinese. Because many metaphorical expressions and informal speech are infiltrated into the records, some words can＇t not be understood easily. Taken Hong Xiu-quan＇s Anthology as a language material, this article studies the linguistic characteristics of these records from its common and metaphorical vocabulary.
