浅析马叙伦《老子校诂》的训诂特色

A Preliminary Analysis of Ma Xu-lun's Emendation and Exegesis on Lao-Tsi

马叙伦采用本证和旁证相互结合的科学方法研究《老子》,所提出的创见得到简帛材料验证,足以说明它具有经得起时间考验的学术质量。《老子校诂》征引各类版本,异文资料相当丰富;利用古文字材料,从形体结构解析字义;援引《说文》和各类文献,提出富有启发性的训释;未能逐章注明《老子》韵读,关于音韵的观点散见于字里行间。

Ma Xu-lun adopted scientific approaches combining both assertive and collateral evidence to study Lao-Tsi and his original insights proved by historical material on bamboos and silks are of very high academic quality and can stand the test of time. The major features of Emendation and Exegesis on Lao-Tsi include： citing a great variety of versions and different material, using ancient texts to analyze meaning from the shape and structure of a character, and putting forward illuminating exegetical interpretations by citing all kinds of literature including Origin of Chinese Characters. Ma Xu-lun did not provide clear indications of the rhyming of Lao-Tsi chapter by chapter, and his views on phonetic rhyme have to be read between the lines of his text.
