甲骨文新考

New study on shell-and-bone inscriptions

用一种新的方法 ,即文化解析的方法 ,对甲骨文和金文重新进行考释 ,得出了很多不同于传统方法的新看法、新结论。这种新方法的理论根据是 :汉字起源于古人的社会生活 ,即古人是依据自己的社会生活造出了汉字。因此 ,对甲骨文、金文的考释 ,应由传统的从文字到文字的文字解析 ,发展为从古人的社会生活到文字的文化解析。只有这样才能揭开汉字与汉文化的神秘面纱 ,真正领略其伟大与奇妙。以辛字为例用新方法对其进行了解析。

Many new views and conclusions were made by adopting the new method of culture analysis to study shell and bone inscriptions and bronze inscriptions.The theoretical foundation of this new method lies in the fact that Chinese characters originated from social lives of ancient people.So the study of ancient inscriptions should not just focus on character itself,it should go deeper into the social lives of ancient people.The study should develop from traditional character analysis to culture analysis.Only in this way,can we really appreciate the greatness and marvels of Chinese characters.This paper took the Chinese character'辛” as an example to illustrate the new method.
