梁十九年亡智鼎铭文新解

New Explanation of Liang Nineteen Years Wangzhi Ding

梁十九年亡智鼎是战国时期魏国重要的标准器。该器个别文字模糊,影响了铭文的释读,后半段铭文更是众说纷纭。本文根据较为清晰的拓本,认为后半段铭文应读为"[身口](申)于兹,多鬲(历)年万(劢)不(丕)承",句意是"将魏王徂省朔方一事记录在鼎上,希望后世子孙永远尽力继承此器"。鼎铭中的"多鬲年"是个重要的词汇,通过梳理相关的文例,也可顺带解决清华简《保训》"王念日之多鬲"的训释,这句话应理解为"王考虑到生病的日子太长"。

The Liang nineteen years wangzhi ding is an important standard bronze vessel of the state of Wei.However,some of the inscription is hard to read and this influenced the interpretation and punctuation of the inscription.Especially the last section has many different interpretations.Based on clearer rubbings,this article argues that the latter part of the inscription should be read as follows:“shen yu zi,duo li nian mai pi cheng”[身口](申)于兹,多鬲(历)年万(劢)不(丕)承,which means“I record the king of Wei s examination of the northern region on a ding-vessel,and hope that posterity will strive to preserve this ding-vessel”.The line“wang nian ri zhi duo li”王念日之多鬲in the Tsinghua manuscript Baoxun保训should be read“the king considers that the days of illness are too long”.
