甲骨文合文三则 附:“乐”的未识甲骨文字形

Three Cases of Compound Chinese Characters in Oracle Bone script

合文是古文字中比较常见的一种书写形式,本文介绍了甲骨文中的三则合文:"先匕"合文、"示十"合文、"豕逐"合文。其中"豕逐"是一例带合文符号的合文。带■的"乐"字,一般认为西周中期晚段才出现,其实晚商时期的黄组卜辞中已经出现了,只是未被识别出来。

The compound Chinese character/glyph(hé wén in Chinese pinyin) usually appeared in the written documents of ancient China.In this paper are demonstrated three cases of compound Chinese characters/glyph(hé wén in Chinese pinyin) in oracle bone script --"先匕","示十" and "豕逐" which is a compound character with a joint-character mark.It is studied that the compound Chinese character/glyph of 乐 with ■ actually appeared in Huangzu oracle inscriptions of the late Shang Dynasty prior to the late Western Zhou Dynasty.
