略论西夏公文体式

A Brief Study on the Style of Xixia Official Documents

公文体式是一篇公文外在形式特征所能体现出来的全部内容,包括公文种类、公文用语及称谓、公文的格式和公文载体等。公文体式自秦朝开始确立,历代相沿,并不断发展和完善。西夏公文体式并没有文献记载,我们只能从传世的西夏汉文史籍中保留下来的公文以及西夏故地出土的最为原始的汉夏文公文实物来分析,通过分析得知,西夏公文的体式与宋或辽朝的中央公文体式相一致。为此,本文比较全面而深入地探讨了西夏公文的称谓、语体、格式等规定要求。

The style of an official document is an entire content shown by the external form characteristics, including the official document type, the official document language, titles, the document format and the document carrier. The official document style has been established from the Qin dynasty, developed and improved in all ages.
