“邛须”辨正

Textual Research of the Word "Qiongxu"

明清以来的诗文中常见"邛须"一词,其实,"邛须"是"卬须"之形讹,典出《诗经·匏有苦叶》篇。"卬"字与"邛"字不可相通,包括阮刻本《毛诗注疏》在内的多种《诗经》古本将"卬"字误刻作"卭(邛)"字,后世学者皆失校。部分当代学者不明二字之别,误引或误释"邛须"一词,应予纠正。

Among the Ming and Qing Dynasties Poetry,the word"Qiongxu"appears frequently,according to the textual researches,"Qiongxu"is a variant of"Angxu",it comes from the Book of Songs,these two words are very different,they are not synonyms.There are many old versions of the Book of Songs made a mistake that wrote"Ang"to"Qiong",they are not thoroughly proofread.Some contemporary scholars do not understand the difference between the two words,and quoted or explained the word"Qiongxu"incorrectly,they should be corrected.
