史籀改制考论

On Restructuring of SHI Zhou

史籀之"籀"不能训为"读",史籀也不应是周元王时人。史籀作《史籀篇》,在西周晚期应当是真实存在过的事件。史籀改制是文献中第一次官方推行的文字规范运动,标志着"太史寮"监管青铜器铭文制作,周人的籀文风格最终取代殷人书风,以及西周史官系统的高度专业化。它在中国书法史上具有重大意义。可以推知《史籀篇》文辞古奥,四字为句且用韵,以宣扬周代德化为目的。

＂Zhou＂ in SHI Zhou cannot explain as ＂Read＂ and SHI Zhou shouldn＇t belong to the period of Zhou Yuanwang. SHI Zhou wrote ＂The SHI Zhou＂and it was a real event happening during the late of XiZhou Dynasty. The restructuring of SHI Zhou was a campaign for promoting text specification in the recorded documents. It symbolized that Grand Astrology Administration administrated the casting of inscriptions on bronze wares, Zhou＇s style took place of the Yin＇s writing style and official historians were highly specialized in Xi Zhou. It is significant in history of Chinese calligraphy. It can be seen that language in ＂The SHI Zhou＂is archaic and abstruse four words are made up of one sentence and each sentence uses rhythm to advocate moralization.
