祼攸比鼎释文辨补两例

Reinterpretation of the Inscriptions of the Bronze Guanyoubi Ding Tripod

祼攸比鼎铭文记载了西周时期的一件土地官司,具有很高的历史、经济和学术价值。对该器的研究已取得了丰硕成果,但一些铭文释读仍有不同意见。基于前人成果,依据铭文合文系统条例、同组器关系和誓约语言特征,本文认为纪年时间应释为“卅又一年”。“敢弗俱付祼比其且射分田邑则杀”是三段式誓约体现:敢弗俱付祼比(誓约)—其且射(阻谢)分田邑(违约)—则杀(惩处),其中“阻”“谢”二字同义连文,为“拒绝”之意。

The bronze ritual vessel Guanyoubi ding tripod is now stored at the Kurokawa Institute in Japan.The inscriptions of this piece of ritual vessel record an important land lawsuit.Thus,this ritual vessel holds great significance for studying the history and economy of the Western Zhou period.Nonetheless,the previous transcriptions and interpretations of the inscriptions remain to be debatable.This article proposes new ways to interpret the year records and various terminologies in order to provide a more coherent explanation for this ritual bronze.
