汉宫女官名颜注指瑕

Female Official Titles of Han Dynasty Misannotated by YAN Shi-gu(颜师古)

汉宫女官分管皇帝的衣食住行。“倢伃”(接舆)管“行”,“无涓”管保洁,“充依”管衣物,“保林”负责安保,“娱灵”是给皇帝逗乐子的,“夜者”是值夜班的。颜师古注释“倢伃、家人子”是增字为训,释“充依、保林、娱灵”属望文生训,释“昭仪、无涓”在语法上说不通。

Female officials working in the Han(汉) Palace were in charge of the emperor's daily life, including food, clothing, living and travel. Jieyu(倢伃) was in charge of transportation vehicles, Wujuan(无涓) of cleaning,Chongyi(充依) of clothing, Baolin(保林) of security, Yuling(娱灵) of amusement, and Yezhe(夜者) of night shift.Yan Shi-gu(颜师古) misannotated some titles by adding other words(e.g. Jieyu(倢伃) and Jia ren zi(家人子))or explaining them literally(e.g. Chongyi(充依), Baolin(保林) and Yuling(娱灵));some of his annotation did not work from a grammatical perspective(e.g. Zhaoyi(昭仪) and Wujuan(无涓)).
