利用战国竹简文字释读春秋金文一例

Interpreting Bronze Inscriptions of the Spring and Autumn Period with Bamboo Slips of the Warring States Perio

郑与兵壶是一件春秋时期的郑国铜器,其铭文中有一从东从殳从土之字,旧误释作"敕"或"陈"。这个字也出现在上海博物馆所藏战国楚简《容成氏》及《周易》篇中。根据与今本的对读及文义分析,这个字应释作"墼"。本文根据这条线索,指出了与兵壶铭文中的"墼"应读作"懈"。"不懈[于]春秋岁尝",意即"对于祭祀不敢有所懈怠"。这种解释也使我们对文献中过去释作"四时"的"春秋"一语有了新的认识。

Zheng Yu Bing Hu was a bronze ware made in the Spring and Autumn Period.This paper interprets a character of the bronze inscriptions on it with reference to the bamboo slips of the Warring States Period,which also gives us new understanding of the meaning of 'Chun Qiu'(literally spring and autumn) that used to be explained as 'Si Shi'(four seasons of the year).
