《大金西京大普恩寺重修大殿记》碑文用字现象分析

The Usage of Chinese Characters in the Inscription of Rebuilding the Main Hall in Puen Temple in Western Capital in Jin Dynasty

《大金西京大普恩寺重修大殿记》是山西省大同市大普恩寺(先称做善化寺)保留最完整的碑刻之一,也是善化寺所存碑碣中刻立最早的一方。对碑文中的1088字的用字现象做了认真的辨析后发现,在这1088字中,按保守统计,有264个异体字,4个通假字。造成这种现象的原因,既有客观方面的,又有主观方面的。为了更好地继承我国优秀的文化遗产,便于阅读古籍,我们有必要对上古汉语的用字现象做更细致的了解。

The stone tablet of Rebuilding the Main Hall in Puen Temple in Western Capital in Jin Dynasty（1115—1234）is one of the best preserved stone tablets in Puen Temple（previous Shanhua Temple）in Datong city,Shanxi province. It is also the earliest inscribed tablet in Shanhua Temple. A detailed research on the Chinese Characters in the inscription shows that there are 264 variant form of Chinese characters and 4 interchangeable Chinese characters among the 1,088 words. The comprehensive statistics and careful analysis of the usage of the words in this article are expected to help us understand the content of the inscription better and know more about the usage of words at that time.
