摘要
商代甲骨文中的新星记录,人为学者所重视,但近年有学者加以怀疑。1997年新出现的一组西周早期青铜器的铭文,证明甲骨文品确系“星”字,象群星之形。不过,甲骨文并非“设”字,而应释“凿”,读为“兆”,指自然异象,因此“新星”实系天象无疑。
The Nova records in Shang oracle-bone inscriptions have been studied for many years,but some recent articles doubt whether they are really astronomical or not. The inscriptions on a set of early Western Zhou bronzes found in 1997 can confirm that the character is just 星,the star. Meanwhile the character is not 设but 凿and should be read as 兆 which means omen or astrological phenomena. Since 新星 is a sort of 兆,it must be a celestial phenomenon.
