海昏侯墓所见子(田允)父乙卣试释

An Interpretation of the Character Yun on the Bronze You Discovered From the Tomb of Marquis of Haihun

海昏侯墓中的晚商铜卣铭文富有深意。铭文中的"子(田允)(从田从欠)父乙"四字中的从田从欠一字当隶定为"(田允)",即"允"字。商周之际金文中的允傍有时讹作夷、作欠。"子允"、"子(田允)"为商贵族中较常见的人名。

The Paper discusses the inscriptions cast on the bronze you,dated to late Shang,discovered in the Tomb of the Marquis of Haihun,and provides an interpretation of the character Yun composed of the radicals of Tian（ 田） and Qian（ 欠）. This character was corrupted from the one,with the Yun（ 允） radical on left,found on other contemporaneous bronze vessels. Through an analysis of the bronze inscriptions from late Shang through Western Zhou,this paper postulates that character Yun is sometimes seen interpolated with characters Yi（ 夷） and Qian（ 欠）,and the name Ziyun is a common appellation among the Shang nobles as seen from bronzes and transmitted classics.
