文字的產生和演變見證並記錄了文明的發展歷程。3000年前曾一度為世界第一大國的楚國,今天因楚地竹簡的重見光日,而得以被人們逐漸關注。1994年在香港文物市場出現的戰國竹簡(後被上海博物館所藏,命名為《上海博物館藏戰國楚竹書》),是近百年來出土戰國楚簡材料中,數目最多,內容極為豐富的早期文物史料,近年來引起海內外學術界的極大熱議和研究。本演講選取《上海博物館藏戰國楚竹書》第八冊中的二個字為討論中心,展現古文字考釋之過程以及文本復原對出土文獻研究的重要性。

The emergence and evolution of characters record the history of civilization. Chu State, known as the biggest country in the world 3000 years ago, has received growing scholarly attention after the discovery of the Chu bamboo slips. The bamboo slips of warring states, which emerged in the Hong Kong market of antiques and arts in 1994 and were later collected and named “The Chu Bamboo Slips In Warring States” by Shanghai Museum, arouse heated discussion among scholars from China and abroad for their excessiveness in quantity and comprehensiveness in content compared with other slips founded over the last century. This talk takes two characters from its eighth book as examples to demonstrate the process of exegetical interpretation of characters and the importance of text restoration to the research about unearthed documents.
