新见禽簋铭文考释

Textual Criticisms and Explanations of A Newly Discovered Character Inscribed on Qin-Gui

山东省邹城市博物馆馆藏禽簋,其中新见字“■”字可分析为从阜,从女,从束,束亦声。该字书写特点是“束”和“女”用一笔连接,当为一字,非合文。结合铭文和器形,该器的年代在春秋早期偏早。禽簋虽出于邾国范围内,但可能为鲁国器物。

Qin-Gui is preserved in Zoucheng Museum,Shandong Province.The newly discovered character‘[阝束女]'can be broken up into‘阜’,‘女’and the phonetic component束’.The束’and‘女’should be seen as one,rather than a combination,since they are connected by one stroke.Given its inscription and as well as its shape,the Qin-Gui should be made fairly early in the early Spring&Autumn Period.Although unearthed in the area where there used to be the State of Zhu,the Qin-Gui probably belonged to the State of Lu.
