林泰辅与唐兰:中日古文字学现代理论初次建构——以新发现《中国文字源流》稿本(1907)为核心

The First Construction of the Modern Theory of Paleography Between China and Japan

日本林泰辅东京大学博士学位论文《中国文字源流》稿本(1907)的发现,带来了人们对中日古文字学现代理论体系形成过程的新认识。中国唐兰的《古文字学导论》(1934)是中国古文字现代理论体系的标志性成果之一。比较二者之间创新性观点,比如林泰辅将中国文字分为篆体时代与隶楷时代、提出象形、指事两大造字“纲领”说、古文字变迁三期说、“字形比较法”、从地域差异角度研究古文字等,与唐兰一起代表了20世纪初的中日两国中国古文字学理论研究的最新成果,意义非凡。

The Source and the Course to Chinese Character(《中国文字源流》)(1907)is a doctoral thesis by Lin Taifu(林泰辅)of the University of Tokyo.The discovery has led to a new understanding of the formation process of the modern theoretical system of Chinese paleography between China and Japan.The Introduction to Paleography(《古文字学导论》)(1934)by Tang Lan(唐兰)is one of the landmark achievements of the modern theoretical system of Chinese paleography.The above works represent the latest achievements in the theoretical study of Chinese paleography between China and Japan in the early 2Oth century.Lin Taifu divided Chinese character into zhuanti(篆体)era and likai(隶楷)era and raised other views including the program of character-building about xiangxing(象形)and zhishi(指事),the three stages of ancient character change,the comparison method of font and the study of ancient Chinese character from the perspective of regional differences,so it is significant to compare the innovative views between Tang Lanand Lin Taifu.
