《岳麓书院藏秦简(五)》上事“散书”补释

The Qin Period Bamboo Slips Collected at the Yuelu Academy (Fifth): Supplemental Interpretation

《岳麓书院藏秦简(五)》卒令中的上事“散书”条中的“散”,原整理者解释为“拆散”之意,受前文解释的影响,将另一条卒令“必皆散取急辞”中的“散”也释读为“拆散”之意。从词义与行文逻辑解释,两处“散”释读为“拆散”都会让律令文意不通,且两条律令互为冲突。本文通过对两则卒令的史学分析、文字考证,认为《岳麓书院藏秦简(五)》中的两处“散”当释为“摘要”之意,行文的“散书”则可理解为文书摘要,则两令文从字顺、相辅相成。

The sanshu legal reportages appearing in the Qin bamboo slips collected at the Yuelu Academy contain the‘san’character.The original authors interpreted this as the meaning of‘breaking up’.Following this interpretation,the authors also suggested that the‘san’character appearing in another bamboo slip should be interpreted as the same.Judging from the meaning and writing,interpreting the meaning of this character as‘breaking up’not only does not make sense,but makes the two related legal reportages contradictory to each other.Through historical analysis and literal interpretation,this article suggests that the‘san’character appearing in the bamboo slips should be interpreted as‘abstract’.This new interpretation makes the two related bamboo slips read smoothly with concordant meaning.
