新莽简在语言文字上的时代特征补议

Supplementary Analysis of Characteristics of the Times of Xin Mang Wooden Slips

新莽简在语言文字上具有明显的时代特征,前人总结的"亖""桼""二十""三十""亖十"等文字写法,以及"泉""斛"、地名、职官名的改称是判断新莽简的重要依据。随着新简牍材料的出现,证明"斛""桼"等词语东汉时期仍有使用,非新莽简特有,不能作为判断新莽简的依据。此外,"新始建国地皇上戊"非后世追述的纪年写法,而是新莽时期盛行的繁化纪年表达法。

The Xin Mang Wooden Slips have obvious characteristics of the time.The wording of＂si（亖）＂, ＂qi（桼）＂, ＂shi（十）＂, ＂sanshi（三 十）＂, ＂sishi（亖 十）＂summarized by the predecessors,and the rename of＂quan（泉）＂and ＂hu（斛）＂,place names,and official names are important bases for judging the Xin Mang Wooden Slips.The unearthed new wooden slips proved that in the Eastern Han Dynasty,＂hu（斛）＂and ＂qi（桼）＂were still in use,which could not be adopted as the only basis for judging the Xin Mang Wooden Slips. Additionally,＂xinshijianguodihuangshangwu（新始建国地皇上戊）＂was the complex form for chronology which was prevalent in the Xin Mang period,which was not the chronology of later generations.
