讲座 提要
本讲座针对金文与《诗经》中的习用语词，分析这些语词在先秦语言文化中的来源、发展，以及二者之间的关系。并从金文研究来考察其与商周音乐与诗歌发展之关系，并由此于国际学术界首次提出：一，即从两周金文来看，铭文的入韵和四言化是在西周中期，特别是恭王懿王时期；二，两周金文中与《诗经》之〈雅〉〈颂〉部分的诗歌语词多相重合，这些多源于周人习用祭祀语词，而非金文引诗；三，故中国四言诗体的发展成熟时期是与周代贵族的祭祀生活密切相关，而其成熟时期很可能在西周中期；四，这与周代雅乐在西周中期的成熟与标准化密切相关，如乐钟双音的使用以及四声音阶在礼乐中的主导地位等等。故本文对西周金文以及《诗经·周颂》间相似相合的章句作一全面的考察，这种考察不仅仅是简单、机械地对读，找出相同或相似的句式，而是在很多情况下文字不同，但实际上是出自相同的成语，由声音的转借及字形的讹衍而造成的语词的分化。由此，对《诗经·周颂》诗篇的创作或改定入礼乐，编入《诗经》的年代亦作一合理之推测，并且指出《诗经》大量源于民歌一说尚无充分的根据。
讲座第二部分介绍上古汉语中连绵词的一些特殊用法。一般情况下，连绵词的两字不能拆开理解和使用。这是毋庸置疑的。但在传世的经典和出土的文献中，特别是在韵文里面，连绵词有些特别的用法，却并不一定遵循不可拆开的原则，这些往往未引起学者足够重视。本文通过分析“婀娜”、“逍遥”、“舒夷”等连绵在传世经典、金文和简帛文字中的用例，来分析与之相关的一些词语，以及变化形式。对这些连绵词的变化形式的理解，既可以帮助我们理解新出土的金文和简帛文字的一些内容，同时也会帮助重新理解传世经典中的一些前人难解的或者误解的文句。
Some of the prominent features of the Old Chinese (archaic Chinese) include set phrases, idioms, binomes and tetrasyllabic poetic lines which can be found in both excavated documents, including bronze inscriptions and bamboo strip writings, and transmitted canons, such as Book of Songs, Book of Documents, Books of Etiquettes, etc. My pilot research was conducted on the basis of early Chinese idioms and formulaic expressions concurrently seen in the Book of Songs and contemporaneous excavated manuscripts. Evidently, the tetra-syllabic form, the earliest genre of Chinese poetry, was shaped in mid-Western Zhou times and was derived from liturgical prayers of sacrificial activities among Zhou nobles.
In the second part, this presentation represents a novel perspective from which we understand how binomes are used within received classical texts, bronze inscriptions, as well as bamboo and silk manuscripts, and how the analysis of these binomes can improve the understanding of the inscriptional texts and other excavated manuscripts. Moreover, this approach has the potential to provide new understandings of passages from the received classics that may have previously been misunderstood or misinterpreted. Here I am going to show a few cases of the decomposition of binomes in the versified and rhymed literature, be it transmitted classics or excavated manuscripts. The methodological approach that I am going to demonstrate here can thus bring a new degree of linguistic rigor to the study of ancient Chinese documents, and will shed a new light on the field of early China.
