甲骨文“釆”字辞例补说

Another Interpretation of the Word "Bian( 釆) " in Inscriptions on Oracle Bones

甲骨文中目前已知的“釆”字字形有“(■)”(《合》22103=《乙编》6390)、“(■)”(《合》20340)、“(■)”(《合》22048=《乙编》4925)、“(■)”(《屯南》2240)四例,都属于午组卜辞。今结合商周金文“釆”之字形,补充论证黄天树先生的观点,纠正了前人对“釆”的错误认识。本文认为“(■)”为“釆”字之倒书与繁写,乃“釆”之异体;“釆”字不得与“小甲”“米”“叕”“小乇”“乎”“”“尞(燎)”等混同;“釆”即“辨”之古文,会辨别兽之足迹意,引申而有“谨慎”、“慎重”义。

The currently known"Bian(釆)"on oracle bones has four kinds of spelling:"(■)"("Collection"22103="Second Volume"6390),"(■)"("Collection"20340),"(■)"("Collection"22048="Second Volume"4925),and"(■)"("Southern Xiaotun"2240),which all belong to the Wu group inscriptions.Combined with the glyph of Bronze Inscriptions"釆",this paper develops Mr.Huang Tianshu’s argument and corrects the misunderstanding of the predecessors.It is put forward that"(■)"is the inverted book and the traditional writing of the word"釆",which is the different body of"釆";the word"釆"cannot be associated with"小甲","米","叕","小乇","乎","""尞(燎)"and so on.The"釆"is the ancient text of"辨"with the meaning of the beast's footprints,and its extended meaning is"cautious"and"careful".
