唐代俗字避讳试论

The Research on the Taboo of Folk Characters in the Tang Dynasty

唐代避讳以形体的改变为重点。俗字的流行促使帝王名讳用字的规避范围逐渐扩展到俗字,不仅讳字的俗写字形要避讳,形体上与讳字有关联的部分俗字也在避讳之列,从而产生了唐代特有的俗字避讳现象。从根本上说,这是避讳制度与俗字形体同时发展到高峰时期的必然产物。北宋以后,伴随着避讳重点的转移、雕版印刷的盛行,俗字避讳失去了产生条件,最终趋于消亡。

The form variation is an important feature for taboo in the Tang dynasty. The popularity of folk characters makes the avoidance of characters in monarchs＇ names appear in common characters. This taboo appears not only in the form of common characters, but also in the folk characters which are related to the common characters. This leads to the appearance of special folk characters taboo in the Tang dynasty. Basically speaking, this is a reasonable result when the development of taboo system and the form of folk character gets fastigium. Due to the change of focal point in taboo and the popularity of block printing, the taboo of folk characters can not develop without its procreant conditions and gets to its end after the Song dynasty.
