《招魂》中关于巫帝问答之辞臆说

The Assumptions about the Questions and Answers between the Supreme God and the Wizard in Zhao Hun

《招魂》中关于帝、巫问答之辞一节的解说历来争论较多。笔者以为导致各家观点出现偏差的原因,排除原文有脱讹外,主要是对"掌梦"和"谢"字的理解不同。其实,文中巫阳所提到的"掌梦"强调的是一种方法,这种方法显然不同于上帝所言的"筮予之"。"谢"字也未必如历来诸家所认定的"谢去"或"徂谢"意,而是作为一种巫术用语,指占卜的结果不灵验。

There are different opinions towards the explanations for the questions and answers between the supreme god and the wizard in Zhao Hun.Except for the error and omission in the original text,we think the different comprehensions of the words ＂Zhang Meng＂ and ＂Xie＂ are the main reasons for the discrepancy.In fact,the word ＂Zhang Meng＂ mentioned by Wu Yang emphasizes the method,which is obviously different from the method ＂reviving by divination with alpine yarrow＂ proposed by the supreme god.And the word ＂Xie＂ may not mean ＂lose＂ or ＂die＂,which the scholars hold unanimously,it may be the language used in sorcery which means the divination is not accurate.
