周人残碎甲骨的定位与刻辞行款研究

A Study of the Anatomic Portions of Zhou Oracle Bones and the Direction of Inscriptions

西周卜用甲骨的整制与钻凿形态有一定规律,甲骨刻辞的行款走向与之密切相关,对残碎甲骨的准确定位有助于正确判断刻辞行款的走向,有助于准确理解刻辞的内容。本文依据《周原甲骨文》与已经公布的其它遗址的材料,先从甲骨正背两面的特征作定位研究,然后分析刻辞行款走向的规律,并对相关问题进行探讨。

The preparation of oracle bones and drilling patterns were highly formalized and standardized in the Western Zhou period.Such pattern was relevant to the direction of inscriptions.Thus,the identification of the anatomic portions of bones will be beneficial to the understanding of inscriptions direction and their contents.Based on the data in Zhouyuan oracle bones and other published data,the article discusses the identification of anatomic portions according to the morphology of dorsal and frontal sides.The discussion can then lay down a foundation for the research of inscriptions direction and its relevant issues.
