汉代遣册名物“䈕”与“缯方缇”合证

On the Han Dynasty’s Funerary Objects Ti(䈕)and Zeng Fang Ti(缯方缇)Recorded on Bamboo and Wooden Slips

长沙马王堆一号汉墓出土遣册所记名物“䈕”不应读作“箪”,当照本字“䈕”解为竹器,与墓中出土盛放泥“半两”钱的竹篓相对应。这种竹器因附有两耳用于提挈,故名为“䈕”。长沙走马楼西汉简所记“盛粟䈕”之“䈕”亦是此物。江苏连云港尹湾六号西汉墓出土遣册木牍所记“缯方缇”之“缇”也应当读作“䈕”,指盛放墓主人生前所用文具的竹器。由于此处的“缇(䈕)”为方形,与一般的圆形“䈕”有别,同时其外又裱有一层缯帛,故以“缯方缇(䈕)”称之。

The funerary object labeled as“䈕”in the unearthed book of the No.1 Han tomb in Mawangdui,Changsha,should not be read as“簟(diàn)”.When interpreted according to its original character,“䈕”refers to a bamboo utensil,which corresponds to the bamboo basket found in the tomb used to hold clay-made banliang(半两)coins.This kind of bamboo wares was named ti(䈕)because it has two ears for lifting and carrying.The ti(䈕)of the cheng su ti(盛粟䈕)recorded on the bamboo slips of Western Han Dynasty unearthed in Zoumalou,Changsha,is also this kind of objects.The character“缇”in the phrase“缯方缇”recorded on the wooden slips unearthed from the No.6 Western Han tomb in Yinwan,Lianyungang,Jiangsu,should also be interpreted as“䈕(ti)”.It refers to bamboo wares used to store the stationery of the tomb owner during their lifetime.In this case,refers to a square-shaped bamboo vessel,distinct from the typical round-shaped“䈕”,and it is also covered with a layer of silk fabric,hence it is called“缯方缇(zeng fang ti)”.
