穷尽式检索古文字偏旁工具书创编刍议——以《郭店楚简》为例

Compiling a Reference Book Capable of an Exhaustive Retrieval of Radicals of Ancient Chinese Characters:With Reference to The Guodian Chu Slips

为支持"偏旁分析法"的科学运用,推动古文字研究,应尽快创编穷尽式检索的古文字偏旁工具书。该工具书的编纂体例要点如下:一是对于"偏旁"的宽容认定;二是将偏旁的构形类别和用法变异列为索引对象;三是偏旁出处兼容多层次内容:偏旁所出字、字所出文例、文例的楷书释文和古文字原形。

To support the scientific use of the 'radical analysis method'and promote study in ancient Chinese characters,it is imperative that a reference book capable of an exhaustive retrieval of radicals of ancient Chinese characters be compiled. The key points in compiling such a book are: defining 'radicals'leniently,listing the types of configuration and the use variations of radicals as the objects of retrieval,and incorporating the multi-level content of the origin of a radical,e. g.,the word from which the radical derives,the example of the word,and the definition of the example in regular script and its original form in ancient Chinese.
