谈殷墟卜辞中的“同版异体分工”现象

On the Phenomenon of“Division of Labor in Different Forms on the Same Oracle Bone”in Oracle Inscriptions of Yin Ruins

文章利用六组见于同版甲骨却字用不同的异体字例,论证了甲骨文中存在“同版异体分工”的现象。这一现象与一般的“异体分工”现象不同,在用法上的分工,没有扩大到整个类组;在功能上的区别,也不仅限于记录不同的词。在此基础上,进一步对“异体分工”的发展阶段作了理论上的探讨。从而指出“同版异体分工”实际上是刻手用字情况的具体体现,存在个体性与复杂性。

In this paper,six groups of variant characters with different usages in the same edition of oracle bone inscriptions are used to demonstrate the phenomenon of“division of labor in different forms on the same oracle bone”.This phenomenon is different from the general phenomenon of“division of labor in different forms”.The division of labor in usage does not extend to the whole group,and the difference in function is not limited to recording different words.On this basis,the paper further discusses the development stage of“division of labor in different forms”.Thus,it points out that“division of labor in different forms”is actually the concrete embodiment of the situation of hand engraving,which has its individuality and complexity.
