道经语词词义的文化阐释举隅——以《太上洞渊神咒经》为例

Cultural Interpretation of the Meaning of Words in the Literature of Taoism——Take Taishang dongyuan shenzhou jing as an Example

道经中保存了大量具有特殊的道教文化蕴涵的语词,为此用文化求义的方法考释了其中的"乌民"、"饮丹"、"丹水"、"本行"、"原蒙"、"云刚"、"擢质"等文化语词的意义,并阐释了其产生和存在的文化背景。认为,在解读文化语词的意义时,必须结合相关的文化背景,让语言和文化互相参证,互相诠释,这样才能准确地考求词义。

A lot of words with special cultural implication of Taoism are saved in The Literature of Taoism. This paper uses the method of seeking meaning by culture, explains the meanings of ＂wu min＂, ＂yin dan＂, ＂dan shui＂, ＂ben xing＂, ＂yuan meng＂, ＂yun gang＂, ＂zhuo zhi＂ and elaborates their emergence and existence of cultural backgrounds. Meanwhile, the paper argues that in the process of interpretation of words, it must be combined with the relevant cultural background, in order to make language and culture explain and prove each other so as to accurately seek for meaning.
